Virtual GSM numbers are used to provide two way SMS that can be used for trigger service or SMS on demand services.

There are two types of virtual GSM numbers:

One is referred to as a short code which is usually a premium SMS service where SMS sent to a short code are billed at higher rates and the revenue shared between the operator and the content provider. Messages sent to a Short code can only be from Mobile service areas or specific mobile operators and is usually used within a local area or national service area of that mobile operator or operators and as a result only accessible within that specific area. 

The other type is referred to as a long code which is nothing but a normal International mobile number and messages can be received from any location globally

Virtual GSM numbers are normally accessed over the internet and SMS messages are sent and received using an SMPP account from PoweredSMS.com. 

Virtual numbers can be dedicated or shared among several accounts using "keywords". 

You can obtain a shared virtual number from PoweredSMS.com or you can host a dedicated virtual number on your local computer and setup keywords at will

Implementing a two way service is easier said then done for several reasons 

It is not possible to get a direct GSM operator SMPP connection for 2 way SMS in most countries. for example you may want a local virtual number in a country where getting it from a GSM operator may be not possible and although it may be possible to get an international GSM number it will not give your enterprise that local presence.
