[VoiceOps] A2P-aaS

[Mike Johnston]

That's what we use for automated notifications to on-call techs of P1 
tickets.  We wrote code to email a short message to the appropriate 
domain.  This list we use is Inteliquent's:

https://help.inteliquent.com/sending-emails-to-sms-or-mms

For example:
   AT&T: number at txt.att.net (SMS), number at mms.att.net (MMS)
   T-Mobile: number at tmomail.net (SMS & MMS)
   Verizon: number at vtext.com (SMS), number at vzwpix.com (MMS)

We do an LRN lookup on the number, to know which one to use.

I'm not sure if we cache the LRN or not for this very specific 
application, since the ticket might be informing the tech that LRN 
lookups are broken/timing out.  And besides, our on-call employees are 
not changing their cell provider very often.
