SMS API for Myanmar: bulk SMS to +95 numbers

Myanmar, located in Southeast Asia, has its largest city in Yangon and is known for its agriculture and emerging tech sector. Software products like mobile banking apps, e-commerce platforms, and logistics services send text messages to users. Messages are triggered by events such as payment confirmations, order updates, or appointment reminders. SMS is chosen because it reaches all mobile users, including those in rural areas with basic phones, and is read quickly.

Number format in Myanmar

Mobile numbers in Myanmar have 8 digits after +95. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (09 212 3456); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +95 9 212 3456.

Alphabet and segments

Text in Burmese is always Unicode, so a message to Myanmar written in Burmese 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

Myanmar keeps UTC+6:30 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Yangon is always 02:30 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.

Send to Myanmar with one request

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

SMS to Myanmar: questions

More answers on accounts, payments and the API are in the FAQ.

How much does it cost to send bulk SMS to Myanmar?

Each message segment to Myanmar costs $0.02697. A plain text of up to 160 characters is one segment, so 1,000 one-segment messages cost $26.97 and 10,000 cost $269.70. Failed messages are refunded to the balance.

How many SMS to Myanmar does a $100 top-up send?

$100 covers about 3,707 one-segment messages to Myanmar at $0.02697 each. The first top-up adds a bonus on top, which raises that number. The balance is shared by every country, so the same top-up also pays for messages anywhere else on the list.

How do I write Myanmar numbers for the API?

Send them in international format with the plus sign: +95 9 212 3456 becomes "+9592123456" in the to field. The API also accepts spaces, dashes and a 00 prefix and cleans them, and numbers that cannot be read are listed in set_aside instead of being charged.

Which language should SMS messages be in?

Messages are typically sent in Burmese, as it is the most widely understood language. English can also be used for international businesses or mixed audiences.

Are there seasonal peaks in SMS traffic?

Yes, traffic increases during festivals like Thingyan (Water Festival) and Thadingyut (Festival of Lights), when businesses send promotions and greetings.
