Gsm sim card with shortcode number instead of ordinary long number

Question

I want to make an interactive sms campaign and i would like to use a shortcode instead of an ordinary gsm number.I have tried reading this document on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_code shortcodes but i seem not to follow how shortcodes are assigned.

Is it possible to assign a sim card a shortcode number instead of an ordinary long number and still send and receive sms like an ordinary long number would?.

Answer 1

Fairly off topic but here is your answer :)

No it is not possible to assign a SIM card with a short code number. You must make us of a SMS service where they offer you a dedicated short code or a shared short code. There are also various charging schemes which makes things that little bit more complicated.
