Looks like Voxeo which is behind Iris Wireless (aggregator) is starting SMS enabled DIDs. Check with them to see what their offerings might be. Hopefully cheaper than Level3. ~Jared On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 10:35 AM, Scott Berkman <scott at sberkman.net> wrote:

Another option to look at is http://www.msgme.com/. Their primary product is a "managed SMS campaign" solution where they provide a portal and do most of the work for you, but I know one of the original architects and they can be fairly flexible and they do have an API.

One nice thing is they have the whole process of getting short codes nailed down, so if you really need a custom one they can help you (still costs $$$), however they also give you the option to use shared short codes where messages are routed based on a keyword in the message body.

I'm interested in hearing if anyone has been able to get a decent service provider up and running who supports selling a DID that originates SIP VoIP _and_ will handle bi-directional SMS via some other protocol to the same E.164 address, with minimum quantity 1 for service provisioning preferably with credit card or PayPal. I'm looking for North America, but other locations would be interesting, too. Having the ability to port a number (mobile of fixed-line) to the service would cause me to swoon with joy.

You can buy UK numbering with in/outbound SIP and SMS support from AQL - www.aql.com.
