[VoiceOps] AT&T Verizon to block text messaging

[Alexander Lopez]

Probably splitting hairs here but how is a2p and p2p differentiated?

Some of our small businesses clients use a text 2 email gateway so they can communicate with customers?

Its not an automated system that is responding but a person.

Can we assume that any text enabled TN that does not terminate on a cell carrier will be considered a2p?

It is also, for anyone who hasn't been paying attention, completely illegal.

I expect my opinion is not unusual that if the only way to get rid of illegal unwanted A2P
is to get rid of A2P altogether, that would be fine with me.
