URL shortening is a technique in which a URL may be made substantially shorter in length and still direct to the required page. This is achieved by using an HTTP Redirect on a domain name that is short, which links to the web page that has a long URL
This is especially convenient for messaging technologies which severely limit the number of characters that may be used in a message.
Smart url also tracks the traffic ie the number of visits to the domain and further advanced analytics as to who (mobile number) visited the page.
Use a single short URL in your SMS campaign and based on your customer’s device details route them to different domain of your’s.
