How does a shared long code keyword work?
Shared long codes work with a keyword, a unique word assigned to you on the long code number. When you or your customers send an SMS from any mobile with your keyword, they get the automatic reply you have set. Sub keywords let you route different replies, and URL retrieval lets your server build a dynamic reply.
Shared plans suit most campaigns. If you need your own number, local numbers, unlimited keywords or resellable keywords, see dedicated long code services and the shared vs dedicated comparison. For contests and TV voting on a 5-digit number, compare short code pricing.
