How to Send an SMS Code

A Short Messaging Service (SMS) is a service that allows you to send a text message from one SMS capable phone to another. You can send the message by selecting a phone number from the contact list in your phone, manually typing a phone number or typing an SMS code. An SMS code is a four- or five-digit number that allows you to send an SMS to receive a service or a feature. The service or feature you receive depends on the SMS code.
