SMS API for Honduras: bulk SMS to +504 numbers

Honduras, located in Central America, has a diverse economy driven by agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism, with Tegucigalpa as its capital. Organizations like banks, delivery services, and healthcare providers use SMS to communicate with users. Messages are triggered by events such as payment confirmations, package tracking updates, and medical appointment reminders. SMS is preferred because it reaches everyone, including those in rural areas like Copán or La Ceiba, where internet access may be limited.

Number format in Honduras

Mobile numbers in Honduras have 8 digits after +504 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 9123-4567 becomes +504 9123 4567 in the to field.

Alphabet and segments

Texts in Spanish fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use á, í, ó and ú: 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

Honduras keeps UTC-6 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Tegucigalpa is always 15:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.

Send to Honduras with one request

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