02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of MTN, Orange and Camtel. 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. Each operator is monitored separately; when one degrades it shows on the status page under Routes: Middle East & Africa.
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.
The default delivery window for Cameroon runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Cameroon does. International format uses +237: +237 584 515 247.
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
03Sender ID
Registration comes first in this destination: an unregistered brand name is swapped for a shared numeric sender so the message still lands, and your registered name takes over once the operators approve it.

Yes: marketing traffic is held outside 08:00 to 20:00 local time by default. Transactional messages can bypass the window, and the default is editable per campaign.
GSM-7 covers everyday Cameroon traffic: 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per part. Watch for smart quotes and emoji, which force Unicode and halve the segment length.
