-   - Sends a text message to a phone number through an the Twilio SMS service. 
+   - Sends a text message to a phone number through the Twilio SMS API.
 notes:
+   - This module is non-idempotent because it sends an email through the
+     external API. It is idempotent only in the case that the module fails.
    - Like the other notification modules, this one requires an external
      dependency to work. In this case, you'll need a Twilio account with
      a purchased or verified phone number to send the text message.
