Traffic to Vanuatu terminates on Digicel and Vodafone. All of them deliver alphanumeric senders as typed, so your brand name appears on the handset without registration. Delivery rates and receipt behaviour are measured per operator, and the report names the reason whenever one of them rejects a message.
Encoding and length
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.
Timing and format
Marketing campaigns are held outside 08:00 to 20:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +678, for example +678 394 717 317.
Delivery receipts
Operators in Vanuatu return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.
