SMS API for Venezuela: bulk SMS to +58 numbers

Venezuela lies on the Caribbean coast of South America, with Caracas as its capital and oil as its main export. Software products like mobile banking, e-commerce platforms, and government services send text messages to users. These messages are triggered by events such as payment confirmations, delivery updates, and public service announcements. SMS is chosen because it reaches all mobile phones instantly, even in areas with limited internet access.

Number format in Venezuela

Mobile numbers in Venezuela have 10 digits after +58. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (0412-1234567); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +58 412 1234567.

Alphabet and segments

Texts in Spanish fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use á, í, ó and ú: 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

Venezuela keeps UTC-4 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Caracas is always 13:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.

Send to Venezuela with one request

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