Many companies who have adopted the Voice-Over I.P. (VoIP) digital platform have already integrated their voice, data, email and faxing applications to create a Unified Communications system to more efficiently communicate with their customers. It is estimated that 79% of all businesses will have digital phone service by 2013. The fact is that there are over 285 million cell phone users in the U.S. alone. On average, Americans change or upgrade their cell phones for new ones every two years. It's predicted that within the next 12 to 18 months the percentage of smart-phones will reach over 60% and the Internet as we know it will change as will the marketing to potential customers for lead generation. Long Code is the easiest and most cost effective way to communicate instantly.

The Unified Communication missing link is the Long Code. The Long Code is a phone number enabled with SMS (text messaging). The Long Code bridges the wired and wireless world together and extends the reach of a business to anyone who uses a phone – wired or wireless. Now, whether SMS is being used for enhancing internal communications, marketing or providing a service for customers, it can be integrated into a Unified Communications system. Not only do businesses benefit from the Long Codes efficiencies and capabilities, the cost is only a fraction in comparison to using a Short Code service for the same application.

WHAT IS A SHORT CODE?

SMS (Short Message Service), or commonly known as texting has been the means for both customer to customer and business to customer communications. Applications like voting, polling, coupons and notifications are common uses for SMS and the Short Code. A Short Code is a 5 or 6 digit number often used by businesses to interact with their existing and prospective customers via text messaging and has been the only means for this type of communications.

This means that 91% of the people who may already be a customer or could become a customer sit outside a business’s Unified Communication System because a Short Code can do one thing and one thing only – carry a text message. Moreover, there are only 999,999 possible combinations for the short code and this limits a business's ability to effectively track their marketing efforts by using a different long code for each campaign. The Long Code achieves this.
