Does this require porting the number? If not how are you gaining control of the SMS in the SMS address database?

Good question! No, using Pigeon SMS does not require porting the number. We’ve partnered with upstream carriers to add sms while leaving the voice component intact.
So are all American carriers (ILEC/CLEC/SIP Providers) available or do potential customers have to do service availability checks?
Nearly all numbers are supported. The only numbers we can’t text enable are Bandwidth.com numbers, but that should be resolved in the coming months.
