Dedicated short codes are codes which are leased out to clients for exclusive use as long as thier lease period remains valid. There is no middleware application that could mix-up customers or content providers or messages with another company's or worse yet, a competitor's. The client also has maximum flexibility with keywords, and can determine how to direct customer interactions and deliver thier messages. Additionally, all of the data and customer information captured belongs to the client and they can map directly into an existing database without having to input information from a different source. Although it takes more than a month to set-up, some advantages of a dedicated short code are;

• No keywords required
• Short code is unique to you. You are the only user.
• Useful for brand building

Semi-Dedicated short codes are leased to Clients with fairly lower messaging needs. It’s not entirely exclusive for use as keywords may be set up for other clients use. However, with semi-dedicated codes, all data and information received to the code other than those specified by other clients keyword is captured and belongs to the client and in this case they can also map directly into an existing database without having to input information from a different source. Some advantages include;

• Value for money: no keywords required for you
• Quicker to set up (if short code is already available)

Shared/Keyworded short codes are an easy and quick way to set up a short code marketing campaign. With this code, subscribers have to perform multiple interactions to access a service. This includes setting definite keywords which is routed to connection for the client. Shared short codes are

• Cost-effecient and flexible to run
• Quicker to set up (only 1 hour to set-up compared to up to 8 weeks for dedicated short codes)
