With today's (well-discussed) close of Ring.to I moved most of my RT numbers to Anveo -- both consumer and Anveo Direct.
Ring.to had a good SMS text messaging component. But now I'm looking for an easy way to send (and receive, though I have "receive" forwarding set up) text messages from those numbers for the very rare occasions I would need to (rare enough I don't want to make a big investment of time and effort to do so).
Textable was brought up. https://textable.co/ Plug in your API info for Anveo, Twilio, Flowroute, voip.ms, or Bandwidth.com (Telnyx and Nexmo "coming soon") and it seems to work well with only maybe 10 seconds of lag. But it currently only works with one provider/one number per Texable account.
I use Acrobits softphone app for iPhone, and https://smsglue.com/ provides some insight on tweaking Acrobits to handle texting for voip.ms, thus making it a texting app. I assume (perhaps wrongly) the same could be done for my Anveo numbers as well as the couple I have Twilo, Tropo and Voxbeam.
I want something easy from my phone that doesn't require logging via a browser into anveo's or others' dashboard to send a text message. And while it might be an interesting intellectual exercise to figure, I know I don't have the programming experience/patience/time combo to write my own program.
Does anyone else have suggestions for quick and easy apps (or tweaks of apps or other work-arounds) to make texting work easily for multiple existing VOIP numbers/accounts at the low bar, of say, texting on par with the quality of Google Voice, and without porting them to something else?
