[VoiceOps] Wholesale MMS Group Messaging and Applications

[Colton Conor]

I would like to note that I have not received many responses to this email,
but the one I did receive has confirmed that Netsapiens does support group
MMS with both Bandwidth and Intelliquient.

Anyone else support group MMS either as a carrier or software provider?
