One rate for Malta, $0.0256, from the first message to the millionth. GSM-7 segments, your name as the sender, handset receipts. Funded in crypto, without identity checks.
At $0.0256 per segment, Malta sits among the dearer routes in Europe: 42nd of 55 destinations by price, 1% below the regional average. Worldwide, 138 destinations are cheaper and 89 cost more.
The route reaches subscribers of GO, Epic and Melita. 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: Europe.
Encoding and length
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.
Timing and format
The default delivery window for Malta runs from 08:00 to 21:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Malta does. International format uses +356: +356 165 293 026.
Delivery receipts
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Malta.
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.
