02Route notes
Tunisia: operators, encoding, timing.
Operators
Ooredoo
Orange
Tunisie Telecom
Recipients in Tunisia are on Ooredoo, Orange and Tunisie Telecom. 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. We keep one route for the destination and swap it when an operator's delivery rate drops, without changing your rate mid-campaign.
Encoding and length
Expect Unicode encoding for Tunisia: 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.
Timing and format
Quiet hours for Tunisia are set to 08:00 to 20:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +216 prefix, like +216 942 489 149; local formats are normalised when the country is known.
Delivery receipts
Delivery receipts are available on this route: every message ends as delivered, failed or expired, with the carrier code on failures.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Tunisia.
Registration comes first in this destination: an unregistered brand name is swapped for a shared numeric sender so the message still lands, and your registered name takes over once the operators approve it.
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.
Do I get delivery confirmation?
Operators in Tunisia return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
How much does an SMS to Tunisia cost?
$0.0833 per 160-character segment, the 55th cheapest of 56 Africa destinations. The lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track is $0.1790, so ours is about 53% lower. No setup or monthly fee, and the rate is locked for the life of a campaign.
Will my sender name show in Tunisia?
Registration comes first in this destination: an unregistered brand name is swapped for a shared numeric sender so the message still lands, and your registered name takes over once the operators approve it.
When are marketing messages delivered in Tunisia?
By default between 08:00 and 20:00 local time. The window is editable per campaign; codes and alerts can bypass it.
Which operators does the route cover?
All major networks: Ooredoo, Orange and Tunisie Telecom. Delivery is measured per operator and the report names the one that failed when a message does not land.
