Are shared short codes going away?

The answer is yes. Every mobile carrier across the U.S. and Canada have come together and have made the decision to unilaterally end service for shared short codes. This means that every company and service provider like Textedly will no longer have any shared short codes. If you are using a shared short code you will need to switch to a long code telephone phone number or lease your own dedicated short code. Textedly is a professional provider of dedicated short codes. If you would like to lease a dedicated short code, just let contact us at any time.

What is the difference between A2P/10DLC and P2P messaging?

Application-to-Person (A2P) messages are generated via a software application like Textedly. Whereas a Person-to-Person (P2P) message refers to conversations between two individuals from your personal phone to another person’s personal phone. P2P has very low volumes and lower throughput compared to A2P. Fortunately, Textedly is a certified A2P/10DLC provider of mobile messaging. A 10DLC phone number looks the same as a regular phone number (555-555-5555). In fact, customers won’t be able to tell them apart. 10DLC telephone numbers are local. You can choose a number or numbers with any area code that you want. And unlike shared short codes, your 10DLC is dedicated just to you. You are not sharing it with anyone. In summary, 10DLC is the messaging option for your business or organization if you want to start messaging quickly and easily without the higher cost of dedicated short codes.
