Shortcodes work?

I'm on Android. I remember that in the past, when I received a spam text, I couldn't report it to Google via report spam feature as the reporting number was a shortcode. I have just reported a bunch of old spam texts and it worked, and I got the automated "thanks for reporting " replies.
Similarly, yesterday I logged in to my Gov.uk account and had an authorisation text from their shortcode number. Now I can go to the conversation and I see "texting with ...", as if I can reply.
Does that mean that Plusnet now supports shortcodes?

You are able to receive shortcode messages with Plusnet but are not able to reply to them other than to transferring mobile providers via PAC codes

How is it that I am able to report spam to a shortcode number, which is sending?
Does anyone know a shortcode number I can send a text to for free to test this?

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Yes, it is. It makes sense then.
