Could you build this?
Partial Building the iOS messaging UI is standard, but phone number porting infrastructure, carrier compliance (A2P 10DLC, LOA handling), and telecommunication carrier integrations require established telecom vendor relationships.
What it would actually take: Requires backend integration with telecom aggregators like Twilio, Bandwidth, or Telnyx to handle Letter of Authorization (LOA) number porting workflows, webhook ingestion for incoming SMS, APNs for mobile push notifications, and compliance with anti-fraud/carrier regulations. The technical challenge lies in asynchronous telecom porting state machines and SMS gateway reliability.
