# Setup Outbound and Inbound Sender IDs

You can use Incoming Numbers of the following types –

* **Long Code** - SMS Long Codes are 10 Digit Numbers and are tied to an Area Code, For E.G. (XXX) XXX- XXXX.
* **Short Code** - SMS Short Codes are 5-6 Digits (Look Like '69488' Which Pizza Hut Uses) and can only be used to Send And Receive SMSs, Not Faxes or Calls.
* **Toll-Free Number** - Text enable your toll-free numbers to use voice and text both.
