I'm really regretting not wanting to give my phone number to some random startup the first time I saw Mailbox. I did end up signing up a month or two later but now there are 250,000 people in front of me...

Now the question is, how will they make money?

I gave them my number a while back but never heard anything. Now there are 250k people in front of me. I guess it doesn't matter too much since my gmail accounts aren't the ones I primarily use.
I got the SMS when there were 320k people already in the queue. I think it's likely they forgot to send out the SMS notifications.
They stated that the service will remain free, but they will add premium features for a fee.
