SMS Code

Multitap replaces a letter by repeated digits defined by the corresponding key code on a mobile phone keypad (This mode is used when writing SMS).
For example: 2=A, 22=B, 222=C, 3=D...
You can identify this code because you will see** several numbers repeated**.

You can decode this code in: https://www.dcode.fr/multitap-abc-cipher

Bacon Code

Substitude each letter for 4 As or Bs (or 1s and 0s)
