02Route notes
Traffic to Costa Rica terminates on Kolbi, Claro and Liberty. None of them deliver alphanumeric senders: the platform assigns a local numeric sender automatically, and recipients can reply if you rent a dedicated number. Delivery rates and receipt behaviour are measured per operator, and the report names the reason whenever one of them rejects a message.
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.
Quiet hours for Costa Rica are set to 08:00 to 21:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +506 prefix, like +506 179 246 023; local formats are normalised when the country is known.
Costa Rica gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
