02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom. 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: Asia-Pacific.
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.
Marketing campaigns are held outside 09:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +86, for example +86 521 416 052.
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
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.
