02Route notes
Every licensed mobile operator in Eritrea is reachable on this route. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. Delivery is measured per operator and incidents appear on the status page under the regional route.
Because the local alphabet is not in the GSM-7 set, messages to Eritrea are billed in Unicode segments of 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). Codes, alerts and short confirmations fit in one.
The default delivery window for Eritrea runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Eritrea does. International format uses +291: +291 434 097 692.
Handset receipts are not returned by operators in Eritrea. Plan reporting around sent rather than delivered for this destination.
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.

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.
Expect Unicode encoding for Eritrea: 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.
