Marketing Companies And Shortcodes
Practically everyone owns at least one cell phone today, if not two or three. And if you do own a cell phone you are also the recipient (maybe sender to) of SMSes, right? Now personal SMSes aside, often on you must be getting messages from marketing branches of various companies offering you this or that and requesting you to send in your response by replying to a certain 5-digit number. This 5-digit number is not a telephone number but rather a short number or shortcodes. Mobile technology has swept the market in recent times. Introduced by Motorola in the early 70′s, mobile phones to start with were devilishly expensive and only a thin segment of society could afford them. But times change and technology undergoes vast improvements and enhancements along with it.
Today mobile phones, better known as cell phones are used across the board, by all segments of society, internationally. The next most logical step would be to use cell phones as a tool to communicate with people en masse, which is exactly what marketing companies are doing. Sending you a small ad through a SMS and then asking you to respond. Rather than giving you a 10 digit number to memorize, you are offered a 5-digit shortcode. Shortcodes are not devised and owned by any Corporation or firm that may happen to text you, but rather they are the domain of mobile operators. Licensed to companies for a fee, for an agreed upon length of time, they function on an operators network only. One such operator is cellitmarketing.com.
