[enum-wg] ENUM for SMS?

Yes .. but I don't have any pointers these are all private services.

ENUM is now being used extensively in North America for both SMS and more
specifically for MMS routing. This service is offered by at least three
companies.  NeuStar, Telcordia and TNS (Transaction Network Solutions) of
Reston VA which recently acquired the telecom signaling assets of Verisign. 

Depending on the requirements of the customer either a URI for a MMSC or
SMSC is returned or a SPID that is used to create a one to one peering
arrangements (federation). In any event the business case is SS7/TCAP
avoidance. The most popular application for ENUM in North America is Local
Number Portability queries. The cost savings to carriers that do not have
their own SS7 networks are considerable.

Actually all the US mobile operators are routing MMS via ENUM queries
including ATT and VZ there is a similar service available to Canadian
Operators.

The query can be to a database in the cloud over a secure connection or a
full subscription to the routing databases can be delivered in-network to a
caching ENUM server.
