02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL. 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: Asia-Pacific.
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.
The default delivery window for India runs from 09:00 to 21:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when India does. International format uses +91: +91 308 606 528.
India 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.

Yes: marketing traffic is held outside 09:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages can bypass the window, and the default is editable per campaign.
Expect Unicode encoding for India: 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.
