Short Code Services

Making it easier for students to contact you

JANET txt Short Code Services

PageOne’s suite of Short Code Services are ideal for allowing students to interact, communicate and become involved with your institution. Short Codes are already an accepted means for streamlining common services such as:

  • Brochure and prospectus requests
  • Incident reporting
  • Event registrations
  • Logging customer enquiries
  • Status updates
  • Call back requests

Types of Short Codes

PageOne offer both dedicated and shared Short Codes:

Dedicated Short Codes

Dedicated codes are exclusive to your organisation. They can be used across multiple campaigns and users can create as many keywords as they require. Making it easier for students to contact you.

Shared Short Codes

Represent a low cost solution for organisations wanting to realise the benefits of a Short Code. Shared codes are PageOne numbers that are used by more than one customer. Customers simply request the keywords they require to allow access to their services.

Long Codes

An alternative to a Short Code is a Long Code number. Long Codes are 11 digit virtual mobile numbers that similarly can be integrated into your existing business software and applications giving them 2-way SMS functionality. Like a Dedicated Short Code, Long Codes enable the user to create as many keywords as they need.

Freetext

Freetext is an exciting new Short Code service that allows individuals to text in and access services from a Short Code number for free. It is already a powerful tool for increasing student interaction and response. It combines the ease and familiarity of texting a Short Code with the added benefit that customers do not have to worry about the cost of sending the message.

Managing your Short Codes

PageOne provide all the tools required to set up and manage SMS based services quickly and easily. Be it from an “always available” Campaign Manager web console to direct connectivity from your business application to our SMS gateway using SOAP. Each method can be used with our Short Code range giving you the flexibility to choose the right solution for your organisation.

Campaign Manager web console

Our Campaign Manager console lets you manage your Short Codes and Long Codes from the convenience of a web based account. No new software is required. You have the flexibility of being able to dynamically add and manage keywords and SMS responses.
