SMS API for Monaco: bulk SMS to +377 numbers

Monaco, a small sovereign city-state on the French Riviera, is known for its luxury tourism, finance, and high-tech industries. Banks, luxury resorts, and event organizers frequently send text messages to their users. Messages are triggered by events like booking confirmations, payment alerts, or event updates. SMS is chosen because it reaches all mobile devices instantly, works without internet, and is reliable for both residents and visitors.

Number format in Monaco

Mobile numbers in Monaco have 9 digits after +377. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (06 12 34 56 78); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +377 6 12 34 56 78.

Alphabet and segments

Texts in French fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï: 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

Monaco changes its clocks: Monaco is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Monaco is 08:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +01:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.

Send to Monaco with one request

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

What language should messages use?
