Long code is nothing special, it’s just like a ten digit mobile number only the difference that it’s a programmatic crated on mobile operator server not SIM Card based and that’s why it’s called as Virtual Long Code, that number can be used only for receiving for SMS not for sending SMS or for calling, as it’s a normal mobile number so unlike short code users will not be charged premium SMS rate a standard SMS rate will be charged and if they are using any free SMS pack so sending SMS on long code will be free

SHRED LONG CODE – shared long code works on the concept of KEYWORD just like shared short code, keyword is nothing it’s just like your company name or product name that can be created on any existing long code number, we called it shared long code because same long code can be access by many other customers

DEDICATED LONG CODE – dedicated long code number means that it will be specially configured for you and not any other one can use that, as a dedicated number it’s also don’t required to create any keyword any one can send SMS directly to your number
