FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about sending SMS to Malaysia

How much does it cost to send an SMS to Malaysia?

SMS pricing to Malaysia starts from $0.100 per message. Final cost depends on the mobile carrier. Long messages are automatically split: 160 characters for standard text (GSM-7) or 70 characters for Unicode (emojis, special characters). Each part is charged separately.

What are the character limits for SMS to Malaysia?

Standard SMS (GSM-7 encoding) allows 160 characters per message. Unicode messages (containing emojis, Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, or special characters) are limited to 70 characters. Long messages are automatically split into parts: GSM-7 uses 153 characters per part, Unicode uses 67 characters per part. Each part is billed as a separate message.

Which mobile carriers are supported in Malaysia?

We support all major mobile carriers in Malaysia, including Altel, Baraka, Celecom and others. Messages are routed through reliable SMS aggregators to ensure delivery.

How long does SMS delivery take to Malaysia?

Messages typically arrive within 5-10 seconds when the recipient's phone is on and has network coverage. Delivery rate is approximately 99.5% for active devices. Messages to switched-off phones or invalid numbers may fail, lowering the overall success rate. You can check message status using our API or receive delivery reports via callbacks.

Do I need to register my Sender ID for Malaysia?

Yes, sender IDs must be pre-approved before use. To register: (1) Log into your account at app.smspm.com, (2) Navigate to SMS page, (3) Click 'Sender request' button, (4) Submit your desired sender ID for approval. By default, 'smspm.com' is activated. Alphanumeric sender IDs are limited to 11 characters, numeric to 15 digits.

What encoding is used for messages to Malaysia?

Encoding is detected automatically. Standard text uses GSM-7 bit encoding (160 chars). Messages with Unicode characters (emojis, non-Latin alphabets) automatically switch to UCS-2 encoding (70 chars). Extended GSM characters like €, [, ], {, }, |, ~, ^ count as 2 characters. You don't need to specify encoding—our API handles it automatically.
