Sort of? It looks like this is unique to SMS over VOIP. Which don't get me wrong, it's still fucking stupid. But maybe, just maybe there's a middle ground between getting inundated in robocallers trying to reach us about our cars extended warranty and not being able to send the word Scunthorpe over SMS.
After my 5 seconds of research, it seems like those SHAFT rules are more for marketing campaigns when your sending out sms messages on mass. Not for Bob and Susan talking about the latest politics. Not sure why OP is getting limited. I can swear over my Google Voice message and I don't have any issues. I am pretty sure that is SMS over VIOP.
I can too, which is what gets me. Honestly after I think it might boil down to how far removed your provider is from directly getting the number from the FCC(or how trigger happy the entity they're getting the number from). Also possibly if it's considered a landline or mobile number, it looks like those are distributed differently.
