Drop Japanese carriers?

Apparently Japan doesn't do e-mail to SMS, just e-mail. So, strictly speaking, the entries in this repo, while apparently valid, are just plain ol' e-mail address domains that get prefixed with the mobile phone number. Does it matter though since they are actually mobile carriers that they don't actually send a SMS to the recipient? IMO, the Wikipedia user who removed the entries is being overly pedantic with this change. Open to suggestions.

Deserialize in .NET

This was a little more effort than I anticipated, but here is the code in case anyone is interested. There may be a cleaner way to accomplish this without explicitly looping through each list, if so I'd be curious to see how.

I used Json.Net, credit to this site http://csharphelper.com/blog/2013/05/how-to-extract-only-some-of-the-information-from-a-json-file-in-c/ for some of the approach.

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

public Dictionary<string, CountryInfo> GetCarriers()
{
    // Get the data file.
    string jsonPath = @"your path here";
    string serialization = "";

    Dictionary<string, CountryInfo> Country = new Dictionary<string, CountryInfo>();
    Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, CarrierInfo>> SMS_Carriers = new Dictionary<string,Dictionary<string,CarrierInfo>>();
    Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, CarrierInfo>> MMS_Carriers = new Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, CarrierInfo>>();

    StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(jsonPath);
    serialization = sr.ReadToEnd();

    Dictionary<string, object> dict = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(serialization);

    // Get the countries.
    Dictionary<string, string> countries = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(dict["countries"].ToString());

    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> pair in countries)
    {
        CountryInfo country_info = new CountryInfo(pair.Key, (string)pair.Value, new List<CarrierInfo>(), new List<CarrierInfo>());
        Country.Add(country_info.CountryAbbreviation, country_info);
    }

    // Get the SMS carriers.
    Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, string[]>> jsonCarriers = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, string[]>>>(dict["sms_carriers"].ToString());

    foreach (string countryAbbr in jsonCarriers.Keys)
    {
        Dictionary<string, CarrierInfo> smscarriers = new Dictionary<string, CarrierInfo>();

        foreach (string carrierAbbr in jsonCarriers[countryAbbr].Keys)
        {
            CarrierInfo carrier = new CarrierInfo(jsonCarriers[countryAbbr][carrierAbbr][0], carrierAbbr, jsonCarriers[countryAbbr][carrierAbbr].Skip(1).ToList());
            smscarriers.Add(carrier.CarrierAbbreviation, carrier);
        }

        SMS_Carriers.Add(countryAbbr, smscarriers);
    }

    // Get the MMMS carriers
    jsonCarriers = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, string[]>>>(dict["mms_carriers"].ToString());

    foreach (string countryAbbr in jsonCarriers.Keys)
    {

            MMScarriers.Add(carrier.CarrierAbbreviation, carrier);
        }

        MMS_Carriers.Add(countryAbbr, MMScarriers);
    }

    // Populate return object
    foreach (string countryAbbr in Country.Keys)

remove google voice gateway?

I'm not sure if the gateway for google voice has ever "officially" worked, but it appears to immediately fail with a message of "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:".

May be best to remove it from the list.

update Roger Wireless SMS & remove Ting

Per Roger Wireless - SMS should be @pcs.rogers.com

Your email address will be your 10-digit Rogers wireless phone number followed by @pcs.rogers.com. Example: [area code and phone number]@pcs.rogers.com

Per Ting Support - Email to text is not supported

IMPORTANT: Our network partners do not provide service level guarantees for email-to-SMS messaging delivery. As a result, the email-to-text functionality is unsupported on the Ting network. This service may not work correctly, or at all, with certain devices and/or conditions
