It does *not* have to be a dedicated to e-money code. In practice, no one is going to care any more because the only carrier staff who ever cared about this have shifted roles. Word.

Can't be an existing shortcode that's used for other SMS-related services. Of course I could be wrong.. Incidently ICSTIS appear to have no record of 60155, and Three's shortcode checker seems to be broken. iirc the operator guidelines now say you can run an ‘e-money’ (off-handset purchase) service on a non 7xxxx shortcode, however it must be dedicated to e-money services and pre-registered as such with the operators.
