02Route notes
Recipients in Bahrain are on Batelco, Zain and STC. 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. We keep one route for the destination and swap it when an operator's delivery rate drops, without changing your rate mid-campaign.
Messages written in the local script are Unicode, so a single segment holds 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). Latin-only text stays in GSM-7 at 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated). The composer shows which encoding applies as you type.
Quiet hours for Bahrain are set to 07:00 to 21:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +973 prefix, like +973 413 885 402; local formats are normalised when the country is known.
Operators in Bahrain return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
03Sender ID
Operators here require alphanumeric senders to be registered before they deliver them. While the registration is pending, messages go out from a shared numeric sender; once approved, your name is used. Support handles the file with you.
