We had an odd customer request, via a vendor trying to provide them with automated scheduling services via SMS. They are asking us to "release the SSID" to allow them to do SMS on the number, but we keep the voice. I'm unaware of this ability, and they even said that so far, most carriers won't even discuss it with them. Their service rides on the Twilio API, and I *think* Twilio uses Bandwidth. This number is currently with Bandwidth. So I don't know if that might make a difference.

If they are already in twilio, they can create a SIP Trunk where you'd connect to to get the inbound calls. That way SMS stays at twilio and voice goes to you. I'm not aware of another way to do it cleanly. El mi?, 17 de ago. de 2022 3:56 p. m., Carlos Alvarez via VoiceOps < voiceops at voiceops.org> escribi?:

Hi There, Twilio Gold Partner here. If they port the number to Twilio then using Twilio Programmable Voice they calls could be forwarded either via sip or pstn back to yourselves. They would have to pay Twilio the Egress cost. Feel free to message me offline for further assistance.

I mentioned this as an option, but the scheduling vendor didn't like the idea. I'm guessing they don't have a billing method for this. Right now it's on hold until he can get someone on his tech side involved. I was more just curious about his concept that he thinks they have done a split before. He may be completely mistaken.

We?ve done this, essentially porting away the SMS piece of a number. From my experience, Bandwidth doesn?t allow ?3rd party SMS enablement? of their numbers, but INTQ does. I have a subset of my numbers with INTQ specifically because of this. --- Christopher Aloi ctaloi at gmail.com Sent from my iPhone

SMS routing is generally handled by NetNumber's routing database (the name escapes me at the moment). NNIDs are the routing identifiers that they use - perhaps they meant NNID vs SSID? Twilio has a "hosted messaging" service, I think, which is where they SMS-enable your number on their platform by changing the NNID to theirs while leaving the voice-routing intact. But that process lead to a lot of fraud across lots of carriers, so it's more restricted now. On Wed, Aug 17, 2022 at 6:36 PM Chris Aloi via VoiceOps < voiceops at voiceops.org> wrote:

I appreciate the responses here. It does appear that a split NNID is something they've done before, but can't be done (or has some problems) with Bandwidth. So Twilio says they just won't try. I've offered the customer the forwarding and even the SIP option. On Wed, Aug 17, 2022 at 4:05 PM Ross Tajvar <ross at tajvar.io> wrote:
