02Route notes
The route reaches subscribers of Econet, NetOne and Telecel. 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.
GSM-7 covers everyday Zimbabwe traffic: 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated) per part. Watch for smart quotes and emoji, which force Unicode and halve the segment length.
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 +263, for example +263 048 083 341.
Zimbabwe gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
03Sender ID
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.
