Hi Matt,
I've consulted in this space and can answer all of your questions. You don't specify if you are in the USA so I'll assume you are (lol all the people overseas are laughing at this point so laugh along :-) ). You're not going to like the answers I have for you. SMS Common Short Codes (CSC's) are controlled by CSCA (a JV between CTIA and Neustar). * They are available in either 5 or 6 digits * They are leased for either $500 per month if you are ok with a random number allocation or * $1000 per month if you want to pick your own shortcode. You can find out more information here http://www.usshortcodes.com <http://www.usshortcodes.com/> Asumming you haven't fallen on the floor and are ok paying my hourly fee (www.cognation.net/rates) I'm happy tot ake your call and provide you with a ton of other information about how you actually implement this, work with agregators and what revenue percentages you can expect to receive from the carriers.

Does anyone know how I might get a several digit SMS code and allow people to SMS it? The second step is, is there a way to charge their bill x dollars when they do that (ie for a donation to a non-profit type thing).
