Twilio?s Streamlined Shortcode API Now Open To All
The world of SMS and telephony is filled with logistical hurdles. San Francisco-based startup�Twilio's goal is to make them a lot less daunting, by offering an API that lets developers send texts, place calls, and do other common�functions�using some basic and initiative commands. And today they're opening a new portion of its API to the public: The Twilio SMS shortcode API. Shortcodes, which are typically used for sending huge volumes of text messages, are nothing new, but the process involved to acquire one can be lengthy (and it requires a long term commitment). Twilio's looking to help with this. It can't make the process go any faster, but once a developer submits their application, Twilio will handle all the negotiations involved with the carriers.
