02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of Djibouti Telecom. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. Each operator is monitored separately; when one degrades it shows on the status page under Routes: Middle East & Africa.
GSM-7 covers everyday Djibouti traffic: 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per part. Watch for smart quotes and emoji, which force Unicode and halve the segment length.
Quiet hours for Djibouti are set to 08:00 to 20:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +253 prefix, like +253 238 283 410; local formats are normalised when the country is known.
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
03Sender ID
Type a name of 3 to 11 characters, A-Z, 0-9, space and it is what recipients see. No registration step for this destination; if a single carrier refuses the name, that message falls back to a numeric sender and the report says so.

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