Number format in Cambodia
Mobile numbers in Cambodia have 8 digits after +855. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (091 234 567); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +855 91 234 567.
Alphabet and segments
Text in Khmer is always Unicode, so a message to Cambodia written in Khmer carries 70 characters in one segment and 67 in each part of a longer one. Codes and alerts written in English or plain Latin letters fit 160 characters, which halves the cost of a long notice.
Time zone and timing
Cambodia keeps UTC+7 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Phnom Penh is always 02:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
Send to Cambodia with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (KH) and the price. A delivered or failed event follows on your webhook, and a failed message is refunded.
For a list, send the same text to up to 10,000 numbers with POST /v1/batches, or a personal text per number in messages.
