Use Text Charter For Free

Sending texts to short codes is not included in any free text bundle that might be part of a customer contract, so it will always cost 1 text at the standard rate. If a phone is on a pay as you go tariff and there is no airtime credit on the phone, then you won't be able to send a text to any short code.

Check if you've been blocked by the recipient, or if your carrier is having network issues. You can also try clearing the messages cache or making sure your SIM card is installed properly.

Most phone contracts will allow the customer to block sending texts to premium rate services. If this setting has been activated, all texts to short codes will be barred. To resolve this issue it's simply a case of rummaging about in the phone's setting and enabling premium rate services.

How do you text a short code number? Texting a short code is simple and just like texting other phone numbers. The only difference is that the number is shorter. Simply create a new text message, type the short code where you'd normally put the recipient's number, type your message and hit send.
