I had heard that Vitelity was compatible with XMPP protocol for their SMS
setup, but I've never tested it.

An alternative would be Bandwidth.com and an SMPP connection to them. You
could setup an SMSC server with Kannel to do the SMPP bind and then send
that data to Asterisk.

Level3 also provides SMPP services for their DIDs.

If you wanted to do it on a grand scale, get your own SPID, then setup an
account with an aggregator such as Syniverse, Sybase365, or Iris.
