Only from those providers that explicitly disclose this fact; I provide API-driven phone numbers (from a carrier partner) and those show up as the carrier's numbers on every lookup tool, with no way to distinguish them from numbers allocated to SIMs directly. I actually really like this fact and will make sure it stays that way.
- shimon_e 9y agoWhat's your service called?
- Rjevski 9y agoNextgrid, though at the moment it's still a work in progress (building an entire telco core network from scratch by yourself takes a looooong time), but in the meantime you can get the numbers from my carrier partner directly: https://aa.net.uk/telecoms.html https://aa.net.uk/telecoms.html Those are UK mobile numbers, with SIP for voice and webhooks for texts, and all lookup tools I've found recognise their numbers as "Three" (a mobile carrier in the UK) mobile numbers. I am not actually sure how those guys interconnect to Three, it could even be literally a bunch of GSM modems with real SIMs in it. My long-term plan is to get rid of the middleman and become a carrier myself (get a number range allocated by OFCOM, UK's telco regulator) and offer both SIMs and API-driven numbers (with no way of distinguishing which is which from the outside).
- imatworkyo 9y agoDefinitely cool service - do these numbers support MMS?
- Rjevski 9y agoNot at the moment no. I might look into it before launch but to be honest nowadays there is very little business case for MMS so I’m not sure it’s worth the investment. Just out of curiosity, what do you use MMS for?
- shimon_e 9y agoI can't find your website through Google. Do you mind linking it? Do you have any partners in the US?
