SMS marketing shortcode setup fees and plans
SMS Shortcode setup is categorized into two namely SHARED SHORTCODE and DEDICATED SHORTCODE.

Differences between Dedicated Short Code and Shared Short Code
Dedicated short code is designed to be used by only one brand.
All of the setup costs and fees associated with a dedicated short code are the responsibility of that one brand, which made it too costly and cannot be afford by many people who like to start sms marketing business and on other hand a shared Code is used by multiple brands, which will share the setup costs and fees etc, making it more cheaper and affordable to smaller brands though Keywords makes it possible for  different users and brands to share one short-code, also a keywords are used to partition each user to his own account without interference or conjunction of other people sharing that code.

The keyword is what your prospects will type first before any other information you want them to send to the code. Eg. Send ‘vote’ space ‘contestant name’ to 55812″.

The keyword in the example above is ‘vote’ while the shortcode is 55812′
