SMS Sender Options

The availability of SMS services varies by country. Depending on what carriers provide, we can offer a choice between a short code, long code, or alpha code sender ID, as well as a choice between one-way alerts and two-way interactive texting.

Definitions of the sender options are below.

• In-Country Short Codes
  • Typically 5 or 6 digits long.
  • Limited to national borders, short codes must be activated in each country where the campaign will take place. Most in-country short codes are cross-carrier so you can reach all subscribers in a country, while some short codes are linked to a specific carrier.
  • Short codes typically enable two-way texting.
  • Provisioning and monthly leases are higher. Timelines to provision can be anywhere from 8 weeks to 14 weeks.
• In-Country Long Codes
  • Typically 10 to 14 digits long.
  • Long Codes enable both two-way texting and one-way messages.
  • Often less expensive than in-country short codes and timelines to provision are usually shorter than Short Codes. Timelines to provision can be anywhere from 6 weeks to 10 weeks.
• Alpha Codes
  • Allow you to set your brand name as the Sender ID (instead of a short code or long code).
  • Only allows one-way text messages. Alpha Codes do not accept inbound messages from consumers.
  • Timeline to provision can be anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 weeks.
