Dedicated Short Code

A dedicated short code is a 5 or 6 digit number used to send and receive SMS or text messages on cellular networks. Companies that use dedicated short codes are approved by the carriers to send text messages into their networks. A dedicated short code is used by one company to send and receive their text messages and is not shared or used by any other companies. The number of the short code is based on availability. A Dedicated short code is leased for 3, 6 or 12 months and when using Opt It Mobile includes unlimited keywords.
