Definition of Long Code Long Code(e.g. 617-500-2900), also known as a Virtual Number, DID, or SMS enabled Land Line, is a mechanism that allows a normal Land Line to receive and send SMS messages and voice calls. As well as being internationally available, Virtual or Landline numbers enable businesses to have their own number, rather than short codes which are generally shared across a lot of brands, as well as, have a limited reach. Not all cellular service providers allow short codes on their networks.

TSG Long Code Applications Person-to-Person Text Messaging Person-to-person text messaging is the most commonly used SMS application and it is what the SMS technology was originally designed for. A call center or contact center is another kind of person-to-person text messaging application that allows a group of people to exchange SMS text messages interactively from either a unified communications service or web based application. In these applications, all SMS text messages sent and received are displayed on the mobile phone's screen of the recipient in order of date and time. Two-way Interactive Text Messaging Applications SMS messaging technology can be used as the underlying communication medium between wireless devices and DIDs in a two-way interactive text messaging application. For example, a company may want to build an SMS messaging application to enable its employees to query the corporate database while they are working off site. Account holders to get real time balance alerts and updates. Etc…

3 Connection Methods The Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) protocol is a telecommunications industry protocol for exchanging SMS messages between SMS peer entities such as short message service centers and/or External Short Messaging Entities. It is often used to allow third parties (e.g. value-added service providers like news organizations) to submit messages, often in bulk. ( Greater Speed versus HTTP) Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an Application Layerprotocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systemsHTTP is a request-response protocol standard for client-server computing. In HTTP, a web browser, for example, acts as a client, while an application running on a computer hosting the web site acts as a server. The client submits HTTP requests to the responding server by sending messages to it. The server, which stores content (or resources) such as HTML files and images, or generates such content on the fly, sends messages back to the client in response. (URL Based – easiest to implement)
