02Route notes
Recipients in Somalia are on Hormuud, Somtel and Telesom. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. 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.
The default delivery window for Somalia runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Somalia does. International format uses +252: +252 265 698 181.
Handset receipts are not returned by operators in Somalia. Plan reporting around sent rather than delivered for this destination.
03Sender ID
Alphanumeric senders of 3 to 11 characters, A-Z, 0-9, space are delivered as typed. No registration is needed; the platform still falls back to a numeric sender if a carrier rejects the name.
