SMS API for Poland: bulk SMS to +48 numbers

Poland, located in Central Europe with Warsaw as its capital, has a strong economy driven by manufacturing and IT services. Software products like mobile banking apps, e-commerce platforms, and logistics companies send text messages to their users. These messages are triggered by events such as payment confirmations, delivery updates, and appointment reminders. SMS is chosen because it reaches every mobile phone instantly, works without internet, and is read quickly by recipients.

Number format in Poland

Mobile numbers in Poland have 9 digits after +48 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 512 345 678 becomes +48 512 345 678 in the to field.

Alphabet and segments

Texts in Polish fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź and ż: 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

Poland changes its clocks: Warsaw is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Warsaw 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 Poland with one request

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