02Route notes
Recipients in Tonga are on Digicel and TCC. 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 Tonga runs from 08:00 to 20:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Tonga does. International format uses +676: +676 938 256 025.
Operators in Tonga return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
