Sort of? It looks like this is unique to SMS over VOIP. Which don’t get me wrong, it’s still fucking stupid. But maybe, just maybe there’s a middle ground between getting inundated in robocallers trying to reach us about our cars extended warranty and not being able to send the word Scunthorpe over SMS.
I can too, which is what gets me. Honestly after I think it might boil down to how far removed your provider is from directly getting the number from the FCC(or how trigger happy the entity they’re getting the number from). Also possibly if it’s considered a landline or mobile number, it looks like those are distributed differently.
