I would think they would have to be very sure about having an up-to-date list because even clamping somebody in the right on private property is on questionable legal grounds. If they clamped you and you could provide documentary proof (parkbytext account statement) that you had paid, they would be opening themselves up for a claim.
The parkbytext service is actually pretty good. I was fairly sceptical about it and reluctant to use it, but so long as you watch out for the various little charges it is not expensive to use and is no greater inconvenience than having to keep change for the meter.
The main drawback is that at Edgeworthstown we occasionally get a few free days when the single parking machine goes out of order. If you use paybytext, you no longer have the excuse of not being able to pay. I suppose you could claim you forgot your phone.
