What Is A Short Code?

A short code is a 5 or 6 digit number that displays as the sender of a text message to your mobile device. Short codes are monitored and managed by the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, a nonprofit trade organization that represents wireless carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc.) and manufacturers and providers of wireless products and services.

While some CNB communications involve a one-time text message, other communications involve ongoing communication based on the opt-in preferences you’ve selected for that specific messaging service.

Message frequency will depend on the nature of your subscription to contests, events or general marketing messages.
