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.
