Short Codes

All Premium SMS services operate on a 5 digit number, or short code. A Short Code is easier and quicker to respond to than a full length mobile number. And because its response led, it's also a really effective way to generate quality leads.

BCH operates free to receive messaging and charges based on the most popular MT (Mobile Terminated) tariffs. Or you may prefer our zero-rated short codes that allow mobile users to send messages to a short code at their standard network tariff. There are two billing options MO and MT. MO bills the user when they send a message; MT bills the user when they receive a message. The most popular method is MT Billing, allowing you to send multiple messages dependent on service and revenue factors.

At BCH Digital we retain a library of dedicated short codes. In order to activate and personalise your short code we simply apply a unique keyword. This means your campaign can be up and running within minutes, activated by you online.
