What are short codes?

Short codes are short numeric speed dial codes that can be set up within your business phone system so that you can quickly make interoffice calls without dialing a whole phone number or extension. You may also establish customized short codes for frequently dialed numbers outside your business (for instance, you may set up a short code to call another office location, a vendor or a customer).
