02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of Telma, Orange and Airtel. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. Each operator is monitored separately; when one degrades it shows on the status page under Routes: Middle East & Africa.
The GSM-7 alphabet fits Madagascar traffic in segments of 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated). A transactional message with a code and a link usually fits in one segment.
Quiet hours for Madagascar are set to 08:00 to 20:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +261 prefix, like +261 844 281 467; local formats are normalised when the country is known.
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.

Type a name of 3 to 11 characters, A-Z, 0-9, space and it is what recipients see. No registration step for this destination; if a single carrier refuses the name, that message falls back to a numeric sender and the report says so.
