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.
