Whether it’s for SMS marketing, a vanity number or some other type of text messaging, Telnyx’s expert team can help you set up text short codes that get results at high volume.
72% of patients still pick up the phone first.
Digital tools help patients self-serve, but they don’t solve everything. Phone-based communication remains the most critical touchpoint in the patient experience and should be a core pillar of any healthcare digital transformation strategy. That is where Voice AI comes in.
Reach users at scale wherever they are in the world—set up numbers in the Short Code Registry and send messages through Telnyx. Get a vanity number or a memorable short code number—both are ideal for SMS marketing, notifications and even 2-way conversations.
Send from a 5-digit recognizable code so customers will know it’s you. Extremely high throughput limits and lower ongoing compliance thresholds make it easy to scale.
SMS short code is the highest volume number type, supporting up to 100 message parts per second (360,000 per hour).
Create or reinforce a brand your customers know and love. Get an automatically-assigned code or request a special one.
Unlike number types that only support carrier network receipts, short code also includes handset receipts, so you can be confident your message was delivered.
After completing a comprehensive initial vetting process, ongoing compliance requirements for short code are lower than other number types, reducing delivery and compliance issues.
If a customer replies with a stop word (e.g. “STOP”), Telnyx will automatically unsubscribe them from future sends from that number.
We support any character set and language type. Our system automatically chooses the most compact encoding possible, minimizing cost per send.
