Summary

Twilio has introduced Canadian Short Codes, allowing businesses to reach millions of customers in North America using one API. These 5 or 6 digit phone numbers enable faster text messaging with a higher bandwidth rate of 30 messages per second or higher. With Twilio's dedicated Short Code Operations Team handling the carrier approval process, businesses can now navigate the short code approval process more easily. Companies like PayByPhone are already benefiting from using Twilio Short Codes to expand their global reach and provide consistent brand experiences across borders.
