Messaging is dependent on the SMS gateway providers aka aggregators and their connections to worldwide mobile carriers. These ‘message police’ and their pathways relay your news to your intended VIPs.
GO BIG OR GO HOME

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
If your business relies on the up-close-and-personal touch to communicate effectively with clients then long codes are what you need.
