Alphabet and segments
English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to Papua New Guinea holds 160 characters and each part of a longer text 153. Watch for curly quotes and emoji copied from other tools: one of them moves the whole text to Unicode at 70 characters per segment, and POST /v1/estimates shows the encoding before you send.
Time zone and timing
Papua New Guinea spans several time zones, from UTC+10 in Port Moresby to UTC+11 in Bougainville (January offsets). A send_at of 23:00 UTC lands at 09:00 in Port Moresby in January; for a nationwide reminder, split the list by region and give each batch its own send_at.
Send to Papua New Guinea with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (PG) 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.
