SMS API for Jordan: bulk SMS to +962 numbers

Jordan is a Middle Eastern country with Amman as its capital, known for tourism, mining, and technology. Developers at banks, airlines, logistics firms, and universities send SMS messages from their systems. Messages confirm flight bookings, notify customers of bank transactions, alert drivers of delivery schedules, and remind students of fee deadlines. SMS is chosen because it reaches all phones instantly, works for tourists roaming in Jordan, and is read quickly even in rural areas.

Number format in Jordan

Mobile numbers in Jordan have 9 digits after +962. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (07 9012 3456); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +962 7 9012 3456.

Alphabet and segments

Text in Arabic is always Unicode, so a message to Jordan written in Arabic carries 70 characters in one segment and 67 in each part of a longer one. Codes and alerts written in English or plain Latin letters fit 160 characters, which halves the cost of a long notice.

Time zone and timing

Jordan keeps UTC+3 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Amman is always 06:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
