SMS Code Provisioning Guidelines
Use a Slovakia alphanumeric code for one-way sends that handle both marketing and transactional sends. Alphanumeric codes can't be generic and must be associated with the brand, enterprise, product, or service. These codes can only use alphanumeric characters and spaces. These codes require a minimum of 3 characters and a maximum of 11 characters. Manage opt-outs via web forms or preference centers. You can also use local two-way long codes for marketing and transactional sends.
