Key features of Long Codes?

  • Long Codes are a cost-effective, and convenient way for your customers, or potential customers to contact you at a standard rate or free of charge.
  • Available on Cell-C, MTN, Virgin Mobile and Vodacom (currently unavailable on 8ta), Long Codes can be sent from cellular subscribers’ handsets at a standard rate.
  • Usually Long Codes, or please call me lines, are offered for free to customers, and allow for person-to-person communication.
  • Using virtual SIM hosting, Long Codes are a reliable high-performance method of receiving up to 50 SMSs per second and can be used without the normal restrictions of SIM card hosting.
