SMS Short Codes
SMS short codes enable two way mobile communications for your sales promotions and with your customers. Users simply text your keyword to our short code to respond to promotions or to request your services. E.g. CARS to 60800.
Sample uses include:
- Respond to a promotional offer immediately
- Request you call them back
- Request information to be sent to their phone
- Request a service
- Enter a competition
- Make a donation
- And much more....
Our short code system offers a wide range of options on how you can respond to SMS messages sent to you. We can also integrate with your own computer systems for more comprehensive or high volume services.
BusinessGen UK short codes are registered with all the major UK mobile networks and overseas short codes can also be set-up in over 100 countries worldwide. You can choose from your own dedicated short code, for your exclusive use, or simply rent individual keywords at lower cost.
You can also generate extra revenue for your business by using our Premium Rate short codes which charge from £0.25 to £5.00. This enables you to charge for services before they are supplied.
