Shared short codes are going away. Here’s how to find your alternative

What's this blog post about?

Shared short codes, a cost-effective method for businesses to send messages using a 5-6 digit number shared among multiple companies, are being phased out due to issues with spam and poor user experience. As the messaging industry evolves, new alternatives such as toll-free messaging, dedicated short codes, and ten-digit long code (10DLC) messaging have emerged. Businesses should consider these options for their messaging needs while planning a migration from shared short codes.
