How do I apply for a short code?
Short codes require an application process and are not available immediately. Short codes are country-specific and can't be used if you want to receive messages from international customers - you need to apply for separate short codes per country you wish to send messages to.
If you are one of our paid packages, Clickatell will assist you with your short code application.
If you are on our pay-as-you-go, self-serve package, follow the steps detailed in our user guide to apply for a short code.
Once the number is configured and active on the account, you can link your short code to a two-way SMS integration to start sending two-way messages.
