Frequently Asked Questions
Here are our FAQs. If you can't find what you're looking for, please reach out to our team.
How do I become a customer?
Fill out our contact form and one of our messaging experts will be in touch.
To get you started they will set you up with a free trial, and run you through a demo tailored to your specific messaging requirements.

What is a short code?
Short codes, or short numbers, are short digit sequences (significantly shorter than telephone numbers). They are used to enable messages from business applications to handsets, or from a handset to a business application.
How many characters can I use in a message?
A standard text message is 160 (GSM) characters or 70 (UCS-2) characters, and this is 1 UNIT. If you need to send more than 160 / 70 characters the message can be concatenated to a maximum of 10 UNITS (each unit is billed separately). Note the message payload reduces the more UNITS in the concatenated message (example 2 UNITS of 7 bit contains 306 characters, 3 UNITS contains 459 characters, and so on).
How can I report a text message?
We take suspicious messages very seriously. If you believe you have received a message that may be spam, scam, phishing or suspicious in any way, please report them to our team by emailing support@modicagroup.com. Please include a screenshot of the text message you have received and your mobile number.
