Two-way messaging starts with either a dedicated or shared short code or a long number. Enabling Two-way messaging via short codes and long numbers will allow your business to receive messages and replies from your customers at minimum cost, thereby starting meaningful two-way conversations.
Long numbers are cheaper to use than short codes and allow you to receive replies and phone calls from customers from international destinations.
A shared short code is a more cost-effective solution. You'll be assigned a unique SMS keyword, but you will share the short code with other businesses.
A dedicated short code is dedicated to your brand. Choose between a random short code or opt for a vanity short code and choose the number you want to use.
Enabling two-way messaging using short codes and long numbers allows your business to receive messages and answers from consumers via SMS at a minimum cost.
