Too many different SMS short codes coming from AT&T

Why are there so many different SMS short codes coming from AT&T services?? It's getting harder to track and verify all those different numbers. This is getting ridiculous. They need to centralize the appropriate short code numbers for certain services so they can be easily verified.

So now you're going to tell AT&T how to do business?  

Short codes are text from computer. I'm sure every different sort of message comes with its own short code. And each short code may be related to who sent the short code, or what computer was used to send that short code. 

In any case that usually start with the same few numbers and may end with a couple of different numbers. You should have figured out by now that the same few digits are always AT&T. 

And so what?  Are you really one of those people with unlimited texting that still goes through all of your text logs?  Why?
