Sprint implements Multi-tariff Short Codes

Sprint now supports multiple price points on the same short code. Their implementation is based on 'extending' the 5 digit short code with 3 digits which will signal the price. Example: A service operating with short code 33333, billed at $1.99 and at $2.99 will be visible to the consumer as short code 33333199 and 33333299 respectively.

Quios customers need not worry about extending the short code since Quios will strip the price from the MO messages or add the price to the MT messages, and hence the implementation will be transparent for our customers.
