Hi All,
Im interested in knowing:
1) what are short codes?
2) how do they work?
3) how do smsc's belonging to different mobile operators route msgs to a common short code
4) does every mobile operator in a specific circle have to suport all possible short codes/in use existence?
5) is there any regulatory authority for the same?
6) how can one buy a short code?

Im trying to google, but maybe my choice of keywords is all wrong.

I would really appreciate some pointers to some resources that I could refer to and then ask more questions, these are too basic, I do understand that.

:-(

TIA.
