Can we access SMS messages details from the API?

I am trying to retrieve a list of SMS messages we received via Dialpad APIs. Is that possible? I tried stats with the following.

Sending SMS from a specific number of a call centre

I have a call centere where there are currently 5 registered phone numbers ["+1855...”, "+1786...", "+1512...", "+1617...", "+1917...”] each being associated with a different US State (with the exception of the 1-855). When we send an SMS to a client we would like to use the number belonging to their state so that all future communications are from a local number. However, each time we try to send a test SMS, it gets sent from the same phone number: "+178...”. I was told this is because that phone number is the first number in the list that can send an SMS (since the 1-855 can’t send texts), and so Dialpad defaults to that.

How do I find what type of ID the owner_id for a contact is?

I have a contact with id 5811071000657920 and owner_id 6202606810464256. I got the contact id from a call event that I received via webhook. I got the owner_id by utilizing the contact get API. I've tried looking up that owner_id using the users get API, departments get API, call router get API, and office get API. I've also compared it to the company id. None of those match this owner_id. How do I figure out the owner of this contact?

Search for contact by phone number via API

In the Dialpad app, I can search for a customer by the phone number. however, the contacts api only allows getting a contact based on their id or listing contacts based on the owner id. is there a way to look up a contact by the phone number? it seems like the only way i could do that programmatically is by listing all the contacts for each owner and then checking the phone number on each
