02Route notes

What is specific to sending in Australia.

Operators

  • Telstra
  • Optus
  • TPG Vodafone

Traffic to Australia terminates on Telstra, Optus and TPG Vodafone. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. 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 Australia 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

Quiet hours for Australia are set to 08:00 to 20:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +61 prefix, like +61 809 993 227; local formats are normalised when the country is known.

Delivery receipts

Operators in Australia return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.

03Sender ID

How your sender appears in Australia.

Type a name of 3 to 11 characters, A-Z, 0-9, space and it is what recipients see. No registration step for this destination; if a single carrier refuses the name, that message falls back to a numeric sender and the report says so.
