Number format in Slovenia
Mobile numbers in Slovenia have 8 digits after +386. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (031 234 567); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +386 31 234 567.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Slovenian fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use č, š and ž: 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
Slovenia changes its clocks: Ljubljana is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Ljubljana 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 Slovenia with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (SI) 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.
