Long Code/Virtual Number refers to virtual 10 digit number which can be used to receive SMS from other mobile numbers of all over the world. Long Code are just like your mobile phone number.

This allows people to reply of your Bulk SMS campaigns that you send them by obtaining 2-way SMS. They do not need to start their text with a keyword, so no matter what they send, their entire text is captured. Long codes can also texted directly so customers might be able to text you with specific query for example

Shared Long Code:

Shared Long Code is one shared by more than one company. This means there are multiple applications or services running on it which are designated by keywords.

If you avail this service, you will get one number which is shared by many other business people. But for your need it is differ with the business keywords of your product or service.

For Example: Let say number is 9664653344. So this number is already shared by many people with their respective keywords. Now, let say my business is Bulk SMS. Then I will prepare the content of promotion as given below:

"Hello, Happy New Year!! On occasion of these happy moments, SMSGATEWAYHUB provides you great discounts on BULK SMS Services to promote your Business & Services. For Free Demo Trial Type SMSHUB and send it to 9664653344."

So whoever the customer type the keyword and send SMS to above number, then automatically we will get details of the prospect to our server. After that we can interact with the prospect to serve their needs.

This is the basic example to show how the shared short code works. Apart from this many business people of all major industries are using these services for promotions and marketing.
