02Route notes

What is specific to sending in Angola.

Operators

  • Unitel
  • Africell
  • Movicel

Traffic to Angola terminates on Unitel, Africell and Movicel. They deliver alphanumeric senders only after registration; until then your messages leave from a shared numeric sender, and support prepares the registration file with you. Delivery rates and receipt behaviour are measured per operator, and the report names the reason whenever one of them rejects a message.

Encoding and length

The GSM-7 alphabet fits Angola traffic in segments of 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated). A transactional message with a code and a link usually fits in one segment.

Timing and format

The default delivery window for Angola runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Angola does. International format uses +244: +244 711 738 136.

Delivery receipts

Angola gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.

03Sender ID

How your sender appears in Angola.
