[VoiceOps] Splitting voice and SMS

[Chris Aloi]

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.

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.

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.
