A random short code is a (5 digit) code that is assigned to you randomly. It is a dedicated short code (ie. no one but you will be able to use the number) but the number is selected at random. With a vanity short code (5 or 6 digits), you decide what the number will be (subject to availability). You can select an easy to remember number (‘12345’) or a number that offers branding possibilities for your business (‘APPLE’ or ‘27753’ for Apple Computer).
