Short Code for Text Messaging

The Short Code “78645” is the standard “caller ID” for all SMS Text Messages sent to US numbers.

Major Benefits of SMS Short Code:

  1. Senders can publish a recognizable number to their text recipients thereby identifying the text sender
  2. It is very reliable and effective method of communicating.

Rapid Notify still has the optional 20-character subject line. We recommend using these additional characters to identify your organization. For example, “Anytown Alerts” or “Acme Co.” would appear before the main body of your text message, helping recipients to know where the alert originated.
Additional upgrades include the ability to receive SMS text message replies and manage opt-outs. Reports have been created to indicate Delivery Status of and Reply to text messages.
