Too Long; Didn't Read
Businesses in the US have four options for text messaging: long codes, 10DLC, toll-free, and short codes. How did we get so many, and which option is best for what use case? The latest phone number type to emerge is 10DL (10 digit long code), which was codified in 2017. When you use a long code, it's a better choice because it's less expensive and offers higher messaging throughput. So, if you’re sending out marketing messages, plan to register one or more 10DLC numbers for your SMS messaging campaigns.
