When to use a short code?
If you’re sending more than a few hundred messages a day from a long code, your messages run the risk of being marked as spam. Short codes are pre-approved by carriers to have a high throughput.

- Marketing and promotions
- Alerts and notifications
- Two-factor authentication
- And much more
