SMS API for Mongolia: bulk SMS to +976 numbers

Mongolia, a landlocked country in East Asia, has Ulaanbaatar as its capital and is known for its mining industry and nomadic culture. Software products like banking apps, travel agencies, and logistics services send text messages to users. Messages are triggered by events such as transaction confirmations, booking updates, or delivery notifications. SMS is chosen because it reaches users across vast rural areas, even those with basic phones, and is read promptly.

Number format in Mongolia

Mobile numbers in Mongolia have 8 digits after +976 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 8812 3456 becomes +976 8812 3456 in the to field.

Alphabet and segments

Text in Cyrillic is always Unicode, so a message to Mongolia written in Mongolian 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

Mongolia spans several time zones, from UTC+7 in Hovd to UTC+8 in Ulaanbaatar (January offsets). A send_at of 01:00 UTC lands at 09:00 in Ulaanbaatar in January; for a nationwide reminder, split the list by region and give each batch its own send_at.

Send to Mongolia with one request

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