SMS API for Fiji: bulk SMS to +679 numbers

Fiji, an island nation in the South Pacific, has Suva as its capital and is known for its tourism and agriculture industries. Software products like travel agencies, resorts, and mobile banking apps send text messages to users. These messages are triggered by events such as booking confirmations, payment receipts, and weather alerts. SMS is chosen because it reaches all mobile phones, works without internet, and is ideal for tourists and locals alike.

Number format in Fiji

Mobile numbers in Fiji have 7 digits after +679 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 701 2345 becomes +679 701 2345 in the to field.

Alphabet and segments

English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to Fiji holds 160 characters and each part of a longer text 153. Watch for curly quotes and emoji copied from other tools: one of them moves the whole text to Unicode at 70 characters per segment, and POST /v1/estimates shows the encoding before you send.

Time zone and timing

Fiji keeps UTC+12 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Fiji is always 21:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.

Send to Fiji with one request

The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (FJ) 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.

Send them in international format with the plus sign: +679 701 2345 becomes "+6797012345" in the to field. The API also accepts spaces, dashes and a 00 prefix and cleans them, and numbers that cannot be read are listed in set_aside instead of being charged.

SMS is ideal for tourists as it works on all devices, even without local SIM cards, and provides timely updates.

What language should SMS messages use?

English is widely understood, but including Fijian phrases can make messages more relatable for local audiences.
