In their continuing effort to reduce spam, mobile carriers are filtering vigorously. They are currently filtering bulk messages sent via a short code.
As a result, we are recommending an “and” strategy for a complete digital text methodology: a combination of long code (10-digit phone number with a local area code) and our shared short code (77411).
Unique vs shared
Since each long code is unique to a church, keywords can be the same.
Since the PastorsLine short code is shared, the keywords must be unique.
By reservation only
To keep track of short code keywords (SCK), churches must reserve the SCKs they wish to use. Find out more about this process here.
