Shortcode activation protocol
Shortcode activation protocol in wireless technology is a programming device that allows mobile phone users to send a short activation word to a premium rate phone line operated via SMS.
Examples[edit]
Typical activation words are 'join' or 'connect'. When used in billing services they are typically, 'pay' or 'send'.
Combination Protocol[edit]
In services that require personal or further information such as dating services operated via SMS, they will require a single activation word and then other details. Example- text 'join' then SPACE'name'SPACE 'age' This would then look like 'JOIN HARRY 25' This protocol would then place the user on a database, allowing matches to be submitted to the users' phone and other similar users defined by variables on the service providers' protocol requirements. Example- users 21-25 will be aware of each other, or users looking for blonde female will be notified when a blonde female enters the protocol requirements. Other combination protocols include news programs or radio announcements, whereby the protocol is used to collect a message or report. Typical instances are text 'NEWS' then SPACE then 'your report'.
