In recent months I've read multiple clippings and posts about MVNOs “finally getting short codes” or “finally getting them to work” much to the delight of their subscribers because of the convenience they bring to their lives. What concerns me most is the use of the word “finally”. True, integrating and establishing short code service can be complex due to all the moving parts and stake holders involved, especially for an MVNO or a smaller operator. But, with over seven years of experience in aggregating the aggregators and bringing CSC to MNO/MVNOs (while launching them in days instead of months) we can say empathetically that we understand.
What some of you might not understand however is just how subscribers are using short codes these days and how essential they are to their lives. View our latest info-graphic (below) and see how these codes are life tools that keep users on-time, in budget, safe, and ultimately more connected to you.
