The process of getting a short code can be time consuming??”Clickatell takes
up to 90 days. For the US and the UK, you can register short codes from
http://www.usshortcodes.com (US) or http://www.short-codes.com (UK).
Other countries have their own process of acquiring a short code.

Even short codes have two types: Random or Vanity. Vanity short codes are
easier-to-remember codes that are sold at a premium price. Random short codes are
random 4-6 digit numbers. The charges for both random or vanity short codes vary
for different continents.
Assuming we have got the 7687 short code for POTR, let us see how we can receive
messages to it! Not all SMS gateways offer such a two-way messaging facility, but
Clickatell has it. So let's get going!
Receiving Messages via Clickatell
1. The first step is to activate two-way messaging on our account. We then
buy the short code and wait for it to function. In the meanwhile, we can go
ahead and do our integration code. Refer to http://www.clickatell.com/
products/two_way.php for more details on two-way messaging activation
with Clickatell.
