Good Day.

Text messaging, also known as “texting”, is the sending and receiving of short, text-based messages between mobile phones.

There are two types of short code programs:

1. Standard programs (such as Facebook® and Twitter) - Messages sent to and received from standard programs will come out of allotted messages in your rate plan or bundle. Otherwise, standard messaging rates apply.
2. Interactive text alerts - premium programs

Please see the following for detailed information & a brief explanation.
