02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of MEO, NOS and Vodafone. 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.
The GSM-7 alphabet fits Portugal 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.
Marketing campaigns are held outside 08:00 to 20:00 local time by default, and not on Sundays. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +351, for example +351 821 741 357.
Operators in Portugal return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
