Number format in Kazakhstan
Mobile numbers in Kazakhstan have 10 digits after +7. Locally they are written with a leading 8 (8 (771) 000 9998); in the API that 8 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +7 771 000 9998. Kazakhstan shares +7 with Russia: numbers with 6 or 7 after +7 price as Kazakhstan.
Alphabet and segments
Text in Cyrillic is always Unicode, so a message to Kazakhstan written in Kazakh 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
Kazakhstan keeps UTC+5 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Almaty is always 04:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
Send to Kazakhstan with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (KZ) 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.
