Vanity vs. Random Short Codes

A vanity short code is selected for a particular memorable number; a random assignment emphasizes availability. Both still need the appropriate program preparation.

Vanity and random short codes

Memorability is a communications consideration, not a substitute for a clear campaign identity. Availability and cost should be checked when the proposal is prepared.

Putting the guide into practice

Compare the exact proposed codes, lease terms, setup costs, and launch dependencies. Test how a reader would distinguish the sender from the campaign name in the message.

  • Available code
  • Written cost
  • Recognition plan
  • Alternative sender

Limits and review decisions

Do not assume a desired sequence is available or approved. Keep the campaign launch plan usable if the preferred code cannot be secured.
