You can select from two short code types: Random, and Vanity. If you select a random short code, you will get a short code that is randomly selected by the U.S. Common Short Codes Association (CSCA). If you select a vanity short code, you are required to input a prioritized list of vanity short codes that you’d like to use for your program. The alternatives in the list will be used if the first short code in your list is not available to lease. Example: 234567, 234578, 234589. You can look up the list of available short codes in the [US Short Codes Directory](https://usshortcodedirectory.com/).

Prior to provisioning your short code, you will be asked for your preference to manage opt-outs. If you opt-in, the opt-out management service will automatically use your responses in the program brief for Opt-in/ Opt-out/ Help keywords in response to STOP/START/HELP keyword.
