What is SMS or text messaging?
SMS stands for Short Message Service, commonly know to consumers as text messaging.
The protocol is designed to send text messages to and from mobile phones. The messages
may be up to 160 characters in length including spaces. Almost 100% of today’s phones
can send and receive text messages!
What is a short code?
Similar to a telephone number, short codes are special 5 or 6 digit codes used to
route text messages from mobile phones to interactive mobile messaging applications,
typically in combination with a keyword. They are designed to be shorter to read
and easier to remember than normal telephone numbers. Short codes also allow for
billing and other unique forms of interaction via the mobile phone such as television
voting, ordering ringtones, charity donations and mobile chat services. The Mobile
Giving Foundation uses the following short codes: 20222, 27222, 40202, 41010, 464329,
861232 (UNICEF), 864833 (UNITED) and 90999 at this time.
What is a keyword?
Used in combination with a short code, a keyword is a word that differentiates a
mobile campaign form others on the same short code. The keyword and short code combination
allows mobile phone users to make a donation to MGF sponsored mobile donation campaign.
For example, an organization called Save the Planet might choose the keyword SAVE.
In order to make a mobile donation, a mobile phone users would send the word SAVE
in the body of his or her text message e.g. to the short code 20222.
