SMS Code Provisioning Guidelines
Use an Argentina short code for two-way sends that support marketing and transactional sends. Network carriers require mothly sending rates of at least 100,000 sends per month to keep a short code active. We recommend planning your sending rate as soon as possible before procuring a short code. All short code programs must support HELP and STOP keywork requests. Include FIN and BAJA keywords on all short codes. Conduct marketing sends from Monday through Sunday, 9 AM to 8 PM (UTC−03:00).
