SHORT CODES (also known as short numbers) are special telephone numbers, significantly shorter than full telephone numbers and usually consisting of five digits. Short codes are designed to be easier to read and remember compared to normal phone numbers that are used to send SMS / MMS messages. Shortcodes are widely used for value-added services, such as charitable donations, surveys, mobile services and ordering ringtones. Each short code is designed to be unique to each user of the Service.

Shortcodes are a great SMS marketing tool that enables two-way company-to-customer communication, but they’re also used to raise awareness. They are used by corporations for promotional purposes, marketing campaigns, to hold sweepstakes, reward systems, product sales and information distribution.
