The trickest part of this, and maybe you have solved this is procuring phone numbers for clients. Twilio has put up a TON of friction on getting SMS numbers. I know this because we are doing this on behalf of some very large institutions. Love the idea though!

Thanks! Curious what kind of friction you’ve encountered. In my experience buying phone numbers is not hard, finding vanity phone numbers (especially in certain area codes) is because it requires keeping an eye on their rolling availability.

I’ve set up a few 10DLC campaigns as well, it’s a little finicky and takes time but something I can do pretty predictably.

do you have any tips on getting 10DLC when you dont live in America? seems like using any virtual office is impossible they require an actual physical address /office

Ah, I do not unfortunately, except maybe exploring a partnership with someone based in the US (not sure though).
