WHAT IS A SHORT CODE ?
 
Short codes, (also known as short numbers) are special 5 digit telephone numbers, significantly shorter than full telephone numbers, which can be used as a medium to handle termination and origination of SMS and MMS messages from mobile phones.

They are designed to be shorter to read out and easier to remember than normal telephone numbers. While similar to telephone numbers, they are at the technological level unique to each operator, although providers generally have agreements to avoid overlaps.

Short codes are widely used for value-added services such as television voting, ordering ring tones, promotional campaigns, charity donations and mobile services. Messages sent to short code numbers are generally billed at a higher rate than a standard SMS. Simply we can say Short codes are required for two-way communication.
