02Route notes
Palestine: operators, encoding, timing.
Operators
Jawwal
Ooredoo
The route reaches subscribers of Jawwal and Ooredoo. 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.
Encoding and length
Because the local alphabet is not in the GSM-7 set, messages to Palestine are billed in Unicode segments of 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). Codes, alerts and short confirmations fit in one.
Timing and format
Marketing campaigns are held outside 07:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +970, for example +970 041 872 693.
Delivery receipts
Palestine gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Palestine.
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.

Are there quiet hours for Palestine?
Yes: marketing traffic is held outside 07:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages can bypass the window, and the default is editable per campaign.
Which encoding applies?
Expect Unicode encoding for Palestine: 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated) per part rather than 160. Long confirmations are still fine, they simply use more segments, and the cost preview reflects it.
Which carriers are on the route?
Jawwal and Ooredoo, with delivery rate and receipt behaviour measured for each.
Is delivery confirmed?
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
How much do 10,000 SMS to Palestine cost?
$931.00 at $0.0931 per segment, the same unit price as for one message or one million. At the lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track, the same send would cost about $2,000.00.
