Short Code
SMS Short Code numbers, also know as Short Codes are special numbers, shorter than a full telephone number, which can be used to request information, register an enquiry, and make a donation to charity. They are used to capture content information displayed on all forms of print advertising, television and radio, on outdoor media, promotional literature, point of sale goods, direct mail and on fleet vehicles. They are designed to be shorter and more memorable than a standard telephone number. They also reply back to the consumer with your message or content within a matter of seconds
