02Route notes
What is specific to sending in Vietnam.
Operators
Viettel
Vinaphone
MobiFone
Recipients in Vietnam are on Viettel, Vinaphone and MobiFone. 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
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.
Timing and format
The default delivery window for Vietnam runs from 09:00 to 21:00, local time; schedule by local hour and the campaign opens when Vietnam does. International format uses +84: +84 407 651 701.
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 Vietnam.
Operators here require alphanumeric senders to be registered before they deliver them. While the registration is pending, messages go out from a shared numeric sender; once approved, your name is used. Support handles the file with you.

How much do 10,000 SMS to Vietnam cost?
$233.00 at $0.0233 per segment, the same unit price as for one message or one million. At the lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track, the same send would cost about $500.00.
How will recipients in Vietnam see the sender?
Operators here require alphanumeric senders to be registered before they deliver them. While the registration is pending, messages go out from a shared numeric sender; once approved, your name is used. Support handles the file with you.
Are there quiet hours for Vietnam?
Yes: marketing traffic is held outside 09:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages can bypass the window, and the default is editable per campaign.
Which encoding applies?
Expect Unicode encoding for Vietnam: 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.
