Shared Short code
Shared short codes are free, ready to use, and don’t need registration. Messages will be sent from our pool of local Sender IDs, so the number might be different each time.
Shared numbers are recommended for one-way messaging only.
Dedicated numbers
Send from a trusted, local number. Your messages will always come from a consistent Sender ID, which is perfect for establishing trust and recognition.
To purchase a dedicated number, please contact support.
Dedicated number registration usually takes 1 week.
Registration requirements
When purchasing a dedicated number, you will need to provide:
To register, you’ll need to provide evidence of compliant opt-in processes (a screenshot or weblink) for every contact that will be sent marketing messages.
An example message- note that OTP are not allowed.
Short codes
Short codes are 5-6 digits long and offer superior throughput — ideal if you plan to send a high volume of messages.
To purchase a short code, please contact support.
Short code registration usually takes 3-4 weeks.
Alpha tags
Alpha tags allow you to use your brand name as your Sender ID instead of a number. Recipients cannot reply to messages sent using an alpha tag.
To register an alpha tag, please contact support.
Alpha tag registration usually takes 2-3 months.
Registration requirements
When registering an alpha tag, you will need to provide:
Company Name
