How to activate a Long Code?

Long Code

Long code is the same like a mobile number but maintained by an operator. Thus, it has some extra features:

1. It can receive thousands of SMS in a minute.

2. Can be developed for various custom applications like voting, gathering feedback, placing orders.

3. It works in real time.

4. Sender pays only for a normal SMS, no extra charges.

5. Affordable and easy to understand for a developer.

How does it work?

A user sends the SMS on a number (your long code number)> Operator informs our server> Our server informs your server. 

Above steps are described below:

1. Login and click on Long Code

2. Add the keyword, (this is the most important step, choose a word that your client can remember easily)

3. Now you will find three options (all are optional depending on your need)

A. Reply SMS

If you want to give a confirmation to your users that you have received their SMS, choose this option.

• It has a kind of fixed content SMS that will be sent as a reply to every sender that matches your keyword.
• It will go from Route 4, so maintain the balance.
• If we get any error while sending an auto-reply, we will email you the details.

B. Email Alert

If you want an Email alert whenever your keyword receives any SMS, fill this one.

C. Call Back URL

This is the most commonly used feature as everyone has a custom requirement and why not, geeks love innovation!
