02Route notes
Namibia: operators, encoding, timing.
Operators
MTC
Telecom Namibia
Recipients in Namibia are on MTC and Telecom Namibia. 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.
Encoding and length
The GSM-7 alphabet fits Namibia 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.
Timing and format
The default delivery window for Namibia runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Namibia does. International format uses +264: +264 980 019 910.
Delivery receipts
Operators in Namibia return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Namibia.
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.
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. Up to 6 parts per message.
Do I get delivery confirmation?
Operators in Namibia return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.

$0.0154 per 160-character segment, the 10th cheapest of 56 Africa destinations. The lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track is $0.0330, so ours is about 53% lower. No setup or monthly fee, and the rate is locked for the life of a campaign.
Will my sender name show in Namibia?
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.
When are marketing messages delivered in Namibia?
By default between 08:00 and 20:00 local time. The window is editable per campaign; codes and alerts can bypass it.
