The number 89847 is the txtGroups mobile service shortcode. It's the number you send txtGroups commands and messages to. The number 89847 was chosen specifically because it spells out TXTGR on your phone's keypad.
A shortcode is like a mobile phone number, only shorter (it has less digits). When you send text messages to a shortcode, it's exactly like sending messages to another phone, except your messages are delivered to our processing servers instead of a phone. When we send messages to your phone, we use this shortcode so you know the message came from us.
We've established working relationships with all the major wireless carriers all across Canada and the US so it works the same way no matter what wireless provider you're with.
