I’ve noticed a lot of posts urging people to send various slogans to 644-33 to deliver a message to Congress, but I haven’t seen anything that explains how it works.
Are you asking how the shortened telephone number works?
They are card short codes: Short code - Wikipedia
I was asking where the texts are actually being delivered to.
The answer obviously, is 611.
According to the U.S. Shortcode Directory, that number goes to Everytown for Gun Safety.
I just logged in to post the same thing. Thanks.
Thanks for that link. I didn’t know there was a short code directory. It’s very helpful. I’ve often thought that you have to be careful using them because you may unwittingly give a donation to an organization and end up with a what-the-hell charge on your cell phone bill.
Are they actually advertising it with the dash in the number?
While I’ve certainly seen 7 and 10 digit phone numbers written with dashes, I’ve never encountered a shortcode written that way.
Yes.
Ditto. That’s why my answer was going to be “611”.
