Longcode SMS Service (SIM Hosting) is a reception mechanism used to receive SMS messages using a 10 digit long code number. Long code SMS service is available in two modes.
Dedicated Long Code SMS Service:
Dedicated long code is the mechanism to receive all incoming SMS received on a dedicated longcode number.
Ex: Compose
We can also offer dedicated longcode with fancy numbers.
Shared Long Code SMS Service:
Shared long code is the cheapest mechanism to receive SMS and it works on the basis of keyword (keyword is a unique word which is assigned to the long code number). The long code number is shared with multiple customers.
Ex: Compose
Auto-replay can be configured for both shared and dedicated longcode service using our / any SMS API. In addition to automatic reply, by enabling URL forwarding you can pass the mobile number and message content to any URL. In shared the max SMS allowed per min is below 5 based on queue and in dedicated its above 25.
