Number format in Vietnam
Mobile numbers in Vietnam have 9 digits after +84. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (0912 345 678); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +84 912 345 678.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Vietnamese fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use the tone marks (ă, â, đ, ơ, ư and the accented vowels): 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
Vietnam keeps UTC+7 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Ho Chi Minh is always 02:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
Send to Vietnam with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (VN) 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.
