US Dedicated Short Codes are provisioned solely for one customer, you will have dedicated access to that short code. Dedicated short codes allow 2-way SMS. You can send and receive SMS with a dedicated short code. Vonage manages a lengthy application process in order to purchase a US short code for you. Customers can also transfer their current Short Code to Vonage.
All of the major US carriers have announced their requirements for 10 Digit Long Code (10 DLC), the new standard for A2P (application to person) SMS messaging using 10 digit geographic numbers in the US. This new standard provides for many benefits, including supporting higher messaging speeds and better deliverability on long code originators.
Please note A2P 10DLC standards restrict using a single number with more than one brand. This also applied to Dedicated Short Code programs.
If you would like to apply for a Dedicated Short Code in the US please reach out to sales or contact your account manager for details.
