Number format in Czechia
Mobile numbers in Czechia have 9 digits after +420 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 601 123 456 becomes +420 601 123 456 in the to field.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Czech fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use č, ď, ě, ň, ř, š, ť, ů and ž: 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
Czechia changes its clocks: Prague is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Prague is 08:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +01:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.
Send to Czechia with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (CZ) 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.
