Not quite, the SOAP service I'm using is my works product, we have 
connectivity to many different telco providers accross New Zealand, 
Australian, North America, Europe.

Yes, we have accounts with multiple SMSC providers and our SOAP gateway 
routes out to the various SMSCs, whether they use SMPP, SOAP, or some 
bastardized XML/HTTPPOST format.  All the "enduser" cares about is that 
they send a message through a uniform SOAP call, and it gets routed and 
sent.
