SMS API for Moldova: bulk SMS to +373 numbers

Moldova, a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, has its capital in Chisinau and an economy driven by agriculture and remittances. Software products like banking apps, e-commerce platforms, and public service portals send text messages to users. These messages are triggered by events such as account logins, payment confirmations, and appointment reminders. SMS is chosen because it reaches all mobile phones instantly, even in rural areas, and is reliable for users without smartphones.

Number format in Moldova

Mobile numbers in Moldova have 8 digits after +373. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (0621 12 345); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +373 621 12 345.

Alphabet and segments

Texts in Romanian fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use ă, â, î, ș and ț: 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

Moldova changes its clocks: Chisinau is on UTC+2 in January and UTC+3 in July. 09:00 in Chisinau 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 Moldova with one request

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