Annotation of phone numbers
DLN stands for Dedicated Long Number, which is basically the full telephone number.
Short code is a special telephone number which is significantly shorter than the usual phone numbers. These are used for value added services, such as donations, ordering or voting. However, the billing rate is higher than the usual pricing.
