Also, good luck getting your short code approved. I watched my co-workers struggle for many months trying to get a short code approved, and there was cycle after cycle of stupid arbitrary demands from different carriers. (It's been a while and I wasn't working directly on it, so the details are a bit hazy, but it was a giant mess and made me feel like we were back in the AT&T monopoly days, where you're a supplicant before the phone company.)

Hey Andrew. Michael from Twilio here. Yes, the short code process is tough, that's why we also sell short codes. We are able to apply for them at scale and take care of the application process. It still takes time and money, but we aim make it a lot less painless. Check it out at http://www.twilio.com/sms/shortcodes http://www.twilio.com/sms/shortcodes
