Short Code SMS
Send and receive high volume of SMS, as quickly as possible.
I could tell from the get-go that Plivo was going to offer outstanding service compared to some of the other SMS providers.

Benefits of a Dedicated Short Code
- Higher Throughput and Performance
Send out your messages to customers in a timely manner without worrying about getting blocked or filtered. Default throughput starts at 50 messages per second.
- Improved Deliverability
SMS sent using short codes allow for application-to-person (A2P) use cases like alerts & notifications and offers higher delivery rates than regular long code numbers in US & Canada.
- Exclusive Brand Recognition
Unlike Long Codes, Short Codes are not tied to an area code and can be used across the country. Imagine a nationwide exclusive brand identity under one easy to remember number.
- Choice of Vanity Short Codes
You can reserve the exclusive use of a unique, SMS Short Code number, or phrase, for your brand. For example, PLIVO (75486). Vanity Short Codes are subject to number availability.
