Shared Short Code.

A shared Short Code allows more than one person to use the same number; however everyone has a unique “keyword”. This keyword is placed at the start of a text to direct texts to the correct account’s inbox. When a user responds they are charged only at their standard network rate.

Dedicated Short Code.

Using a dedicated Short Code means that you own that number and every message sent to it will go straight into your account, regardless of what the first word of the text message is.  Owning your own Short Code is ideal for bulk SMS and high volume users.

FreeText Short Code.

Our ‘FreeText’ service allows respondents to text in for FREE for example to a marketing campaign.  Using FreeText removes the send cost for respondents and helps to increase response rates. 

“We wanted a simple solution that would quickly allow fans to report match-day disruption or troublemakers in complete confidence and without having their own safety compromised.”
