Hi HN! I made Pigeon SMS to help businesses reach more customers how they want to be reached. You can add text messaging to virtually any landline in ~5 mins with our fully automated signup. You then get awesome features like:

- Two way sms

- Groups

- Keywords

- Auto responders

- Templates

- Scheduled messages

- Website widget

- Geo based message

- Webhooks

- Lots of other cool stuff

Check out our site. I would love feedback on our landing page and video. I’ll keep an eye on the thread for any questions :)

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.
