Number format in Lithuania
Mobile numbers in Lithuania have 8 digits after +370. Locally they are written with a leading 0 ((0-612) 34567); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +370 612 34567.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Lithuanian fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų, ū and ž: 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
Lithuania changes its clocks: Vilnius is on UTC+2 in January and UTC+3 in July. 09:00 in Vilnius is 07:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +02:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.
Send to Lithuania with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (LT) 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.
