SMS support is currently implied from 'cell' TEL TYPE in implementation 
I know of (ex. Window Mobile / Apple iPhone).

Right now, we just currently can't have a non 'cell' phone number 
described as supporting SMS, which is the case of short codes.

Adding a TEL TYPE value 'sms' seems to be a viable possible option. It 
is just another "service" available @ the phone number, just like voice, 
fax, etc.
