02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of Turkcell, Vodafone and Turk Telekom. 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.
The GSM-7 alphabet fits Turkey traffic in segments of 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated). A transactional message with a code and a link usually fits in one segment.
Quiet hours for Turkey are set to 07:00 to 21:00 local, editable per campaign. Import numbers in E.164 with the +90 prefix, like +90 607 836 213; local formats are normalised when the country is known.
Operators in Turkey return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
03Sender ID
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.
