02Route notes
What is specific to sending in Switzerland.
Operators
Swisscom
Sunrise
Salt
Traffic to Switzerland terminates on Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt. 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
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.
Timing and format
Quiet hours for Switzerland are set to 08:00 to 20:00 local, and not on Sundays, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +41 prefix, like +41 208 519 731; local formats are normalised when the country is known.
Delivery receipts
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Switzerland.
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.
