I can't answer the question unfortunately. It seems ridiculous that speakout can't do shortcodes. Is there a reason they don't allow SC?? I thought they might want to prevent it when they made you pay for incoming texts since SC sometimes reply back or you can even get spammed and be charged from something you didn't want. Now that we pay only for out going this theory seems refuted.
