What Are Short Codes? Short codes are mobile numbers that are significantly shorter than regular mobile numbers (usually 10 digits) which are used for SMS, MMS and Interactive Voice Services. The idea behind short codes is to make them easy to remember. For example: Indiatimes has the short code 5-8888 in India, while Star India has 5-7825 (i.e. 5-STAR on a keypad). Messages sent to a short code can be toll free or – in most cases – more expensive than a regular SMS. Short codes are used for buying content, interacting with a help menu, voting on TV programmes, listening to mobile radio, and a host of other services. Telecom operators, VAS service providers and TV channels use Short Codes for generating revenue. Short Code Services In India Short codes are owned by mobile operators, and those listed below have merely licensed the code from each operator. Which means, an operator can choose not to allow a short code to function on its network by simply not renewing the annual license. 51315 – Wisync Technologies 51515 – AOL Mobile 51516 – AOL Mobile 52121 – Future Telecom 52272 – Mobile2Win India 52424 – Living Media / Aaj Tak / India Today 52455 – Activemedia 52525 – Sony Entertainment Television 52580 – Verity Marketing 52622 – Television Eighteen 52626 – Nei Technologies 52727 – Elation Softnet 52742 – Cricinfo / Cricinfi India 52919 – Radio Indigo / Indigo Mass Communications 53003 – Cellcast / BID2WIN 53030 – One97 / Positive Comsol 53040 – Mumbai Traffic Police 53131 – Unisys Info 53366 – Onyx Mobile 53434 – Webdunia 53456 – Mobile Teleshoppe 53536 – ACube Promotion 53636 – Activemedia 53650 – Mid Day 53776 – ESPN 53999 – A & M Communications 53999 – Just Dial 54242 – Hindustan Times 54321 – Sakal Papers 54545 – Sify 54555 – TechShastra 54567 – DNA Networks 54646 – Hungama / Virtual Marketing 54664 – Google 54684 – Netxcell 54767 – Nano Wicore Labs 54848 – Deccan Herald 54959 – Net 4 Nuts 54999 – Tanla Solutions 55040 – J Four Source 55050 – Bharat Matrimony 55352 – Voicegate Technology 55435 – IndiaGames 55454 – BIG FM 92.7 55555 – Nokia India 55599 – Mkhoj 55627 – Inter Solutions 55678 – Handygo 55858 – SUN TV Ltd 56006 – WIFI Network 56060 – Techzone / 6060 56070 – ValueFirst 56161 – Air2Web India 56262 – Air2Web India 56263 – IMI Mobile 56300 – Cellebrum 56363 – Nazara Technology 56365 – Sybase 365 56388 – NDTV (Lifetree) 56397 – Hindu Publications 56545 – Suvidha 56555 – Orkut 56566 – Pyro Mobile 56569 – Anand Bazar Patrika 56633 – Tata Sky 56636 – ADCC Research & Computing Center 56644 – Cellcast / (Bid2Win) 56677 – Cellnext Solutions 56767 – ACL Wireless 5676744 – All India Radio 56776 – Malayala Manorama 56858 – Flight Raja / Via 56882 – MTV 56886 – Ebay (Lifetree) 56969 – Rajasthan Patrika 57007 – Mauj / People Infocomm 57070 – Verseas Marketing 57245 – IRCTC Ltd. 57272 – J9 Mobile / Jagran Prakashan 57333 – Rediff India 57337 – MAA Television 57474 – MSN 57575 – Cornershop Entertainment (ZeeTV & PLAY TV) 57777 – Symbiotic 57827 – STAR India 57886 – PhoneyTunes 58243 – Yahoo Web Services 58558 – Mobile2Win 58888 – Times Internet Ltd (Indiatimes) 58989 – Four Interactive / AskLaila 58990 – Neo Sports 59595 – GoBindas 59898 – MPOWER 59994 – blowurmind 59995 – UTV
