A shortened mobile number, typically 4 to 6 digits, used for high-volume business messaging, campaigns, and customer interactions.
Why Short Code Matters
Short codes exist for throughput and memorability: they can typically sustain far higher sending rates than an ordinary phone number, and a 5-digit number is easier for a customer to remember and text back than a full 10-digit long code.
How Short Code Works
A short code is leased from the operator or regulator, either dedicated to one business or shared across several with keyword-based routing, and in some markets requires its own campaign registration separate from general sender ID registration.
How SMPPCenter Uses This
Short codes are provisioned through your operator or aggregator relationship rather than by SMPPCenter itself; once you have one, SMPPCenter routes and sends traffic against it the same way it does for any other registered sending number.
