02Route notes
What is specific to sending in Vatican City.
Operators
Every licensed mobile operator in Vatican City is reachable on this route. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. Delivery is measured per operator and incidents appear on the status page under the regional route.
Encoding and length
The GSM-7 alphabet fits Vatican City 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.
Timing and format
Marketing campaigns are held outside 08:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +39 06 698, for example +39 06 698 662 642 576.
Delivery receipts
Vatican City gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Vatican City.
Alphanumeric senders pass as typed here. Brand names, product names and short codes of letters all work, without a registration file, and the numeric fallback only kicks in when an operator rejects the name.
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. Up to 6 parts per message.
Do I get delivery confirmation?
Operators in Vatican City return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
