Operators

  • Dialog
  • Mobitel
  • Hutch
  • Airtel

Traffic to Sri Lanka terminates on Dialog, Mobitel, Hutch and Airtel. 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. Delivery rates and receipt behaviour are measured per operator, and the report names the reason whenever one of them rejects a message.

Encoding and length

Because the local alphabet is not in the GSM-7 set, messages to Sri Lanka are billed in Unicode segments of 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). Codes, alerts and short confirmations fit in one.

Timing and format

Quiet hours for Sri Lanka are set to 09:00 to 21:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +94 prefix, like +94 829 071 173; local formats are normalised when the country is known.

Delivery receipts

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

03Sender ID

How your sender appears in Sri Lanka.

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.
