In brief

A short code fits in a few digits, reserved for services, and is used notably for opt-outs and reporting.

To go deeper

A short code lines up four to six digits where a classic line has ten. Assigned to services and not to individuals, it serves as much to gather replies as to broadcast service messages.

In France, it underpins the professional SMS ecosystem: it gives the recipient the option to reply STOP to withdraw from a list, and 33700 plays there the role of national service for reporting unwanted SMS.
