Canadian Common Short Codes can be five or six digits long. Common Short Codes beginning with a leading '4' are reserved for private use by wireless network operators. Four-digit Common Short Codes are not permitted due to handset incompatibilities. Short code-based messages vary between ''zero-rated'' (paid for by campaign), ''standard rate'' (user is responsible for standard carrier charges), and ''premium rate'' (varies, [[Canadian dollar|C$]]1-10). Canadian Short codes are governed by the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association.<ref name="txt">{{cite web |url=http://www.txt.ca/ |title=TXT Splash |publisher=Txt.ca |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170220151319/https://www.txt.ca/ |archive-date=2017-02-20 |access-date=2011-10-17 }}</ref>
