02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of Djezzy, Mobilis and Ooredoo. 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.
Expect Unicode encoding for Algeria: 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated) per part rather than 160. Long confirmations are still fine, they simply use more segments, and the cost preview reflects it.
Marketing campaigns are held outside 08:00 to 20:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +213, for example +213 602 606 435.
Algeria gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
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.

By default between 08:00 and 20:00 local time. The window is editable per campaign; codes and alerts can bypass it.
All major networks: Djezzy, Mobilis and Ooredoo. Delivery is measured per operator and the report names the one that failed when a message does not land.
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. Up to 6 parts per message.
Operators in Algeria return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
