02Route notes
Recipients in Nigeria are on MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile. 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. 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.
Quiet hours for Nigeria are set to 08:00 to 20:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +234 prefix, like +234 012 332 697; 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.
03Sender ID
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.
