02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of Orange and Africell. 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.
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.
The default delivery window for Sierra Leone runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Sierra Leone does. International format uses +232: +232 322 948 980.
Sierra Leone gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
