TynTec’s Voice-Enabled Long Numbers service enables the reception of both SMS and voice calls under a single number, based on UK-long numbers (e.g. +44 7624 800). By combining voice and SMS under a long number, TynTec makes the reception of data easier for services that have a direct consumer interface, such as entertainment and customer services, call centres and TV votings.

TynTec's Voice-Enabled Long Numbers allows a wide range of industries to generate large amounts of mobile-originated SMS and voice calls from consumers, such as mobile content providers, mobile operators, MVNOs, MVNEs, SMS aggregators and resellers, advertising agencies and various media channels.

Simplicity in Dealing with Data Reception

The Voice-Enabled Long Numbers service provides a single inbound number for both voice calls and text messaging, making it an effective vehicle for enterprise applications, marketing campaigns or entertainment services. Companies using this service take advantage of working with just one provider to manage the reception of SMS and voice through a single long number, as well as being able to forward voice calls to different systems, such as IVR.

This service simplifies the interface with consumers by displaying just one number to receive text messages and voice calls.

International Capability and Long Term Assignment for SMS Reception

The Voice-Enabled Long Numbers service is simultaneously connected to all UK networks and internationally available. This coverage enhances global product and media campaigns, promotions and competitions. Additionally, this Long Numbers service allows payouts per message received, available for selected networks.

Long Numbers vs. Short Codes

Businesses can use SMS Long Numbers in place of short codes, what offers a range of advantages. As well as being international available, Long Numbers enable businesses to have their own number, rather than short codes which are generally shared across a lot of brands. In addition, Long Numbers are available at a fraction of the cost of short codes.

Highest Quality in SMS and Voice Reception

TynTec’s scalable platform allows the reception of high volumes of messages and voice calls, which are received in a secure environment through TynTec's SS7 connectivity and proprietary SMS-Centre.

In addition, TynTec provides customers with complete technical support and customer care. These services are available 24 hours a day, every day.

Long Numbers in the Future
