Free out going charges:
When you receive a SMS in case of Normal 10-Digit Method, you have to pay for the out going SMS charges. In case of short code, customer is updated by a return SMS message which is free for you! Eg: When customer sends a complaint, a Complaint Number goes to him for which you don't have to pay for.
