One rate for Ghana, $0.0223, from the first message to the millionth. GSM-7 segments, registered name or shared sender, handset receipts. Funded in crypto, without identity checks.
At $0.0223 per segment, Ghana sits in the middle of the range in Africa: 28th of 56 destinations by price, 27% below the regional average. Worldwide, 111 destinations are cheaper and 116 cost more.
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.
