want to start a biz in which will require a short sms code like 35442, need someone who can help me with the setup and how it works

Ok.


You pair under someone.
Get two people to pair under you...and the chain goes like that.....

Or better still, follow the instruction sent to you after you buy your short code.

Honestly shortcode business is great but you have to do your homework properly.
Make sure your niche market is a profitable one. shortcode exists in 30, 50 and 100 Nairas. You get between 20 -30% of the
income accrued. The networks and the providers take the rest

payable in 90 or 120 days. You are likely going to get a shared shortcode service as its more affordable than
the dedicated. Keyword, e.g football, Callertunes, Chelsea, etc; are what is used to differentiate you from others. Set up varies and can be within 48hrs - 7days.
