Just to confirm, this feature was NOT released by mistake. It was added in 9.300, but finally just revealed in the UI in 9.308.
SMS authentication is limited only for use with the wireless hotspot feature, and once you've enabled SMS authentication, and configured your provider, you can then select it as a hotspot type when configuring new or existing hotspots.
There is a small bug, where it will not show up in the hotspot until you log out and back into webadmin, after enabling SMS. This is fixed in 9.310, which is expected this week.
The current list of providers is limited, but if there's a strong desire to add additional providers. What would be useful feedback, is if there are any SMS gateway providers any of you might be using today. We'd like to target a few per region, to improve our support.

I'm not sure if you're asking for phone carriers, or a commercial third-party gateway service.
Anyways, some carriers in the US:
TMobile: 1234567890@tmomail.net (confirmed working 2015-03)
Sprint: 1234567890@messaging.sprintpcs.com
