According to their website, “Common short codes… are administered by a single CSC Administrator (CSCA) – CTIA-The Wireless Association® – for a group of U.S. wireless carriers. In addition, the CSCA oversees the technical and operational aspects of CSC functions and maintains a single database of available, reserved, and registered CSCs.

The U.S. has different rules and regulations about what makes a short code and how it can be used…. You may have seen three digit short codes, but those are used by each individual carrier for their own carrier specific programs and are not available to the public.
Which regulations control short code use? Does the FCC dole out the short codes? Including the 3 digit short codes?

Smartphones like Blackberrys and other phones with flip-out keyboards don’t map letters to numbers as they do on a typical phone.

It’s difficult to translate CHEVY into numbers when you’re staring at a QWERTY keyboard :)

Additionally, it is important to know the process for obtaining a personal or vanity short code may be quite lengthy. Due to the regulations which as stated are not consistent across countries, the cost and time may be outside the planned marketing time frame. Strategic and integrated planning is crucial as is the timing. Happy Text Marketing
