Number format in Comoros
Mobile numbers in the Comoros have 7 digits after +269 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 321 23 45 becomes +269 321 23 45 in the to field.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in French fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï: those letters are outside GSM-7 and turn the message into Unicode at 70 characters per segment (67 per part). For short alerts, write them without those letters to keep one segment; for longer texts, the console names each letter that changed the encoding.
Time zone and timing
The Comoros keeps UTC+3 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Comoro is always 06:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
Send to Comoros with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (KM) 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.
