We offer unlimited free short code keywords of two types:

  1. words/phrases of 4 digits or more which are not spelled like real words/phrases;

  2. words/phrases of 11 digits or more (spelling does not matter). Premium short code keywords are offered for add-on additional costs and are defined as words/phrases of 10 digits or less and spelled like real words.

Generally: words of 4 digits or more which are not spelled like real words ("kidz") -OR- words of 11 digits or more (spelling does not matter) ("Corinthians") - OR - multiple words put together or phrases ("WelcomeHome")

These would all be considered free - “WelcomeHome”; “KIDZ”; "FBCNYC" (for First Baptist Church in NY); "FBCCONNECT"; "1Corinthians", "GROUPZ", "FRIENDZ".

Numbers are considered regular/free except for 1-3 digit numbers.

Premium short code keywords

Real dictionary words/phrases of 10 letters or less. You can purchase unlimited premium short code keywords, and you get a discount depending on your plan.

E.g. KIDS (4 digits) would be considered premium and church-centric.

***All 1-3 digit phrases are also considered as premium regardless of spelling.***

Recurring short code keyword costs

Each premium keyword is renewed either monthly or yearly depending on your preference. No contracts, and you can cancel/release the keyword at any time.

Pro Tip: We highly recommend only getting short code keywords for major campaigns or any campaign with a dedicated strategy. You can still use our free and unlimited local number keywords for smaller campaigns.

Discounts per plans

Higher plans get a larger percentage (up to 80%) discount on premium short code keywords. Check out our pricing page for more info on that: https://pastorsline.com/pricing/
