02Route notes

Ghana: operators, encoding, timing.

Operators

  • MTN
  • Telecel
  • AirtelTigo

Recipients in Ghana are on MTN, Telecel and AirtelTigo. 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. We keep one route for the destination and swap it when an operator's delivery rate drops, without changing your rate mid-campaign.

Encoding and length

GSM-7 covers everyday Ghana 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

The default delivery window for Ghana runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Ghana does. International format uses +233: +233 165 326 775.

Delivery receipts

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

03Sender ID

How your sender appears in Ghana.

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.

06Questions, answered

Ghana: the practical questions.

How will recipients in Ghana see the sender?

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.

Are there quiet hours for Ghana?

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.

Which encoding applies?

GSM-7 covers everyday Ghana traffic: 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per part. Watch for smart quotes and emoji, which force Unicode and halve the segment length.

Which carriers are on the route?

MTN, Telecel and AirtelTigo, with delivery rate and receipt behaviour measured for each.

Is delivery confirmed?

Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.

How much do 10,000 SMS to Ghana cost?

$223.00 at $0.0223 per segment, the same unit price as for one message or one million. At the lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track, the same send would cost about $480.00.
