02Route notes
Recipients in Lesotho are on Vodacom and Econet. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. We keep one route for the destination and swap it when an operator's delivery rate drops, without changing your rate mid-campaign.
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.
Marketing campaigns are held outside 08:00 to 20:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +266, for example +266 961 187 955.
Lesotho gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
03Sender ID
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.
