Send SMS from personal SIM
I've previously used MRI Vault before and it had the capability to input a client's first name (with a entry field "$$firstname$$") in a message. This would go from the MRI vault app, to my phones messaging app, so that I could send the personalised SMS directly from my phone.
This was extremely useful for a number of reasons:
1) when I received a reply message I could see what message I sent them and who they are, and what they are replying to.
2) I could use my own phone which has unlimited SMS and send longer messages.
3) there was no limit to the number of bulk SMS I could send out at one time.
Since moving from Vault to Box + Dice, this is one of the features I miss the most!

As an agent, I would like to have my own individual SMS account independent of the office account.
Some offices restrict or don't allow an SMS account for various reasons, however individual agents still want to use this facility. Being able to have an SMS account for an individual consultant would give them the tool they want, which they can be solely responsible for paying for, while still respecting the restrictions put in place by the office admin.
