Short Code Service

An SMS shortcode is a 5 digit number to which an SMS text message can be sent. Shortcodes are often used by businesses to allow customers to opt-in to their SMS campaigns, alert services, or to enter SMS competitions.

Short Code Types

Dedicated Shortcode

A dedicated shortcode is provisioned to a specific company or organisation to enable the running of multiple campaigns or services.

Shared Shortcode

A shared shortcode is pooled between multiple businesses or organisations. This means that two or more companies may share the same shortcode, but have different keywords. Each BulkSMS customer has a unique keyword which is sent to the shortcode.
