Finland is the 43rd cheapest of the 55 Europe destinations we serve. Its $0.0275 rate is 7% above the average for the region, and only 145 of our 228 destinations are priced lower.
The route reaches subscribers of Elisa, Telia and DNA. 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: Europe.
Encoding and length
GSM-7 covers everyday Finland traffic: 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per part. Watch for smart quotes and emoji, which force Unicode and halve the segment length.
Timing and format
Marketing campaigns are held outside 08:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +358, for example +358 460 722 916.
Delivery receipts
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Finland.
Alphanumeric senders pass as typed here. Brand names, product names and short codes of letters all work, without a registration file, and the numeric fallback only kicks in when an operator rejects the name.
All major networks: Elisa, Telia and DNA. Delivery is measured per operator and the report names the one that failed when a message does not land.
How long can a message to Finland be?
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.
Do I get delivery confirmation?
Operators in Finland return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
How much does an SMS to Finland cost?
$0.0275 per 160-character segment, the 43rd cheapest of 55 Europe destinations. The lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track is $0.0590, so ours is about 53% lower. No setup or monthly fee, and the rate is locked for the life of a campaign.
Will my sender name show in Finland?
Alphanumeric senders pass as typed here. Brand names, product names and short codes of letters all work, without a registration file, and the numeric fallback only kicks in when an operator rejects the name.
When are marketing messages delivered in Finland?
By default between 08:00 and 21:00 local time. The window is editable per campaign; codes and alerts can bypass it.
