Number format in Jersey
Mobile numbers in Jersey have 10 digits after +44. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (07797 712345); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +44 7797 712345. Jersey shares +44 with the United Kingdom; mobiles starting 7509, 7700, 7797, 7829 or 7937 price as Jersey.
Alphabet and segments
English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to Jersey 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
Jersey changes its clocks: Jersey is on UTC+0 in January and UTC+1 in July. 09:00 in Jersey is 09:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +00:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.
Send to Jersey with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (JE) 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.
