Hi. PRSP is the only licensed party to use short codes for public / commercial applications so you have to go through one or get a license. You can host the web app yourself as long as you build the web service for it that will connect to the PRSP gateway which is a http API web service (GETs and POSTs).

Dear Skunks,
I have created a web service to manage sessions for a USSD application. What is the process of taking it to production? Precisely, can I acquire a short-code directly from mobile service provider or do i have to get that from a PRSP? Second, if I have to use a PRSP do I have to host the webservice with the or can I host it at my own server?
Kindly advise.
Kind regards
