AQL are happy to offer you use of a shortcode, which is a 5 digit mobile number, such as 64446. This will allow for a much more memorable
inbound number for your customers to send to, increasing the conversion rate from your campaigns.
We can provide you with your own dedicated shortcode, or alternatively you can make use of our own number of 64446.

more information" in this case. Your dedicated shortcode does not require the use of keywords, however they can still be used for
additional functionality.
