Operators

  • Mascom
  • Orange
  • BTC

Traffic to Botswana terminates on Mascom, Orange and BTC. 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

GSM-7 covers everyday Botswana traffic: 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per part. Watch for smart quotes and emoji, which force Unicode and halve the segment length.

Timing and format

The default delivery window for Botswana runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Botswana does. International format uses +267: +267 852 278 495.

Delivery receipts

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

03Sender ID

How your sender appears in Botswana.

Alphanumeric senders of 3 to 11 characters, A-Z, 0-9, space are delivered as typed. No registration is needed; the platform still falls back to a numeric sender if a carrier rejects the name.

06Questions, answered

Sending to Botswana, answered.

Which operators does the route cover?

All major networks: Mascom, Orange and BTC. Delivery is measured per operator and the report names the one that failed when a message does not land.

How long can a message to Botswana be?

Latin text is sent in GSM-7, 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per segment. Add an emoji or a non-Latin character and the whole message switches to Unicode at 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). The composer shows the count before you send. Up to 6 parts per message.

Do I get delivery confirmation?

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

How much does an SMS to Botswana cost?

$0.0149 per 160-character segment, the 8th cheapest of 56 Africa destinations. The lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track is $0.0320, so ours is about 53% lower. No setup or monthly fee, and the rate is locked for the life of a campaign.

Will my sender name show in Botswana?

Alphanumeric senders of 3 to 11 characters, A-Z, 0-9, space are delivered as typed. No registration is needed; the platform still falls back to a numeric sender if a carrier rejects the name.

When are marketing messages delivered in Botswana?

By default between 08:00 and 20:00 local time. The window is editable per campaign; codes and alerts can bypass it.
