02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of STC, Mobily and Zain. 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. Each operator is monitored separately; when one degrades it shows on the status page under Routes: Middle East & Africa.
Because the local alphabet is not in the GSM-7 set, messages to Saudi Arabia are billed in Unicode segments of 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). Codes, alerts and short confirmations fit in one.
The default delivery window for Saudi Arabia runs from 07:00 to 21:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Saudi Arabia does. International format uses +966: +966 422 934 308.
Saudi Arabia gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
03Sender ID
Alphanumeric senders must be registered with the local operators before they are delivered. Until then messages go out from a shared numeric sender. Support prepares the registration file with you where the destination allows foreign senders.

By default between 07:00 and 21:00 local time. The window is editable per campaign; codes and alerts can bypass it.
All major networks: STC, Mobily and Zain. Delivery is measured per operator and the report names the one that failed when a message does not land.
Messages written in the local script are Unicode, so a single segment holds 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). Latin-only text stays in GSM-7 at 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated). The composer shows which encoding applies as you type. Up to 6 parts per message.
Operators in Saudi Arabia return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
$0.0312 per 160-character segment, the 8th cheapest of 15 Middle East destinations. The lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track is $0.0670, so ours is about 53% lower. No setup or monthly fee, and the rate is locked for the life of a campaign.
