Toll-Free SMS Tech Service

So AT&T did away with their Email To SMS gateway which isn't that great.
I was using it for my calendar reminders and ok…. it was awful… But it gave people the ability to send SMS messages to a phone number if you knew what provider they used.

I can see why they did away with it as I am sure there is so much spam that went out through it.

So I decided to build my own service through JAC Comptuer Services hosted on this greenguitarist.com server.
The platform I decided to with was Twilio.com.

Let me tell you there was a learning curve. about $50.00 later, I learned the hardway that it is practically impossible to pas A2P DLC10 registration for a local phone number.

This is not Twilio.com's fault as this is just regulation put in place thanks to all the spammers out there that made it hard for someone like me to use it for legitimate reasons.

So failing for the 4th time, even after getting a EIN number through the government… I noticed toll-free numbers are not required to do A2P DLC10 registration.
They instead have their own separate process.

Needless to say, I was slightly agititated that I didn't notice before, but hey, you live and you learn.

So here goes try number 5 but with a toll-free number now.
May the internet gods balance out this nightmare and let me get this idea off the ground.
