Common Short Codes (commonly referred to as CSCs) are revolutionizing text messaging and the mobile phone. CSCs are similar to phone codes like 411 or 911, and work like websites in that these numbers are accessible to all subscribers regardless of their mobile service providers. Mobile consumers simply enter the five or six-digit codes and gain immediate access to a world of content. Instead of saving lengthy phone numbers to their mobile phones' memories, consumers will now associate businesses with their CSCs.
CSCs have exciting potential for mobile marketing, as they allow businesses to reach the entire mobile population with a single, easy to remember number. CSCs give mobile businesses the opportunity to capture entire social networks by allowing friends subscribed to a variety of providers to enjoy all of the same applications, games, promotions, etc. This means an across-the-board gain in text messaging, gaming, and promotional response.
CSCs will make mobile marketing broader and more cost effective than ever before. Service, content, and application providers can stop wasting money and manpower on coordinating numbers and networks and start focusing on their real priorities-selling their products!
With the help of Fugen Mobile's CSC solutions, companies can take their products and services to the entire mobile population.
What is a Short Code?
Short codes are special telephone numbers; significantly shorter than full telephone numbers which can be used to address SMS and MMS messages from mobile phones. Short codes are widely used for value-added services such as ordering wallpapers and ringtones, television voting and mobile services.
