Number format in Estonia
Mobile numbers in Estonia have 8 digits after +372 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 5123 4567 becomes +372 5123 4567 in the to field.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Estonian fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use õ, š 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
Estonia changes its clocks: Tallinn is on UTC+2 in January and UTC+3 in July. 09:00 in Tallinn is 07:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +02:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.
Send to Estonia with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (EE) 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.
