Before January 1, 2026 you will access from this website. Starting January 1 you will use the same link you use today, logging into usshortcodes.com


The new registry will go live on January 1, 2026. The old system will stop working on this date, and everyone will need to use the new platform.


GCH Technologies is building the new platform. They were selected by CTIA to take over from the current technology provider and drive new innovation within the platform.


Yes! All of your current short codes, brands, and content providers will automatically transfer to the new system. You won’t need to re-enter any of this information.


Pricing will remain the same as it is today. There are no cost increases planned for the transition.


Yes, everyone will need to create individual accounts on the new platform. Shared login credentials will no longer be allowed for security reasons.


You can begin creating your account on November 1, 2025. This gives you two months to get familiar with the new system before it goes live.


Each person who needs access must create their own individual account. There is no limit on how many users your organization can have. Admins have visibility to all existing users and will be able to invite any users they find need to be added.


Yes, the new system requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) for better security. You can use either a QR code with an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator) or receive codes via text message with the USA.


There are two types of users: registrant admin and registrant. The admin can manage other users in your organization, while regular registrants have access to registry functions but cannot manage users.


Yes, you’ll need to enter your payment information in the new system during the November 1 – December 31 setup period. Your current payment methods won’t automatically transfer.


No, we will accept all previously accepted payment methods, cards, ACH, or wire.


Yes, monthly billing is still available and can now be set up right from the start when you purchase a new short code. You don’t have to wait and convert later.


Yes, auto-renewal is still available and works the same way. You can easily toggle auto-renewal on or off for each short code through the new interface.


Yes, the new system allows you to easily download invoices and view your last three years of billing history.


The new system will have a modern design, but many screens will look familiar. The short code purchasing screen has been updated to match the current usshortcodes.com website, so it should feel consistent.


The new registry includes several improvements:

  • Better dashboard with cards showing high-priority tasks
  • Improved search and filtering options
  • Real-time brand vetting status updates
  • Wizard-style forms that save your progress
  • Enhanced security features


Yes, the vetting rules and process remain exactly the same. However, the new system provides better visibility into where your brand is in the vetting process and saves your progress if you need to step away while filling out forms.


Yes! This is a new feature. You can now register a brand before securing a short code for them, or lease a code before a brand has been registered. You connect them together at the end.


These are what used to be called “vanity codes.” It’s the same thing, just with updated terminology – short codes that spell out words or are easy to remember.


No, the API is being completely rebuilt from scratch. All existing API integrations will need to be updated to work with the new system.


API documentation is available now and testing access will be available starting October 1, 2025.


The new API is being built as a modern REST API with comprehensive functionality. It should be able to do everything the current API does and more.


Yes, there will be a testing environment available so you can test your integrations starting October 1, 2025.


Yes, GCH will provide training sessions and resources starting in September 2025. You’ll receive emails with training schedules and materials.


The GCH team will provide support throughout the transition. You can reach out via email or phone, just like you do today. They’re committed to making this transition as smooth as possible.

Yes, GCH will provide ongoing customer support similar to what you receive today, with email and phone support available.


The old system will stop working on January 1, 2026, so it’s important to complete your setup during November and December 2025. If you need help, reach out to the GCH team – they’re there to assist you.


The transition is designed to be seamless. Your short codes will continue to work normally – this only affects how you manage them through the registry.


The November-December period is specifically designed for testing and resolving any issues. If you find problems or have concerns, contact the GCH team immediately so they can be addressed before the January 1 launch.


You can reach out to anyone on the GCH team or Jeff Simmons at CTIA with additional questions. They want to hear from you and ensure a smooth transition for everyone.


Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
