General Messaging

Core topics for day-to-day SMS program design and operation.

How can I receive SMS messages with Apeiron?

Inbound messaging is available on enabled long code, toll-free, and shortcode numbers. Messages can be consumed in Dashboard, delivered via webhook/API callback, or routed to notification profiles.

What is a long code?

A long code is a standard 10-digit number (local DID or TFN in NANP contexts) used for two-way messaging programs with throughput and compliance limits based on carrier policy.

What is a short code?

A short code is a 5- or 6-digit number typically used for higher-throughput programs. Short code approvals involve carrier/registry review and usually require lead time before production use.

What is the outgoing rate limit for SMS?

Long code throughput is carrier-regulated. If your use case requires higher sends-per-second, coordinate with Apeiron to select an appropriate number and campaign model.

What dialing format should I use?

Use normalized destination formats as recommended by Apeiron for your program design. For NANP traffic, 1+10 digit formatting is commonly used in outbound workflows.

Coverage and Integration

Operational notes for regional messaging support and integration patterns.

Inbound Coverage

Inbound number support depends on number type and destination market. Contact Apeiron for current country-specific availability.

Outbound Coverage

Outbound messaging supports broad global destinations. For active rate and route policy details, request a current commercial review.

Can we pull message events over API instead of webhook?

Yes. API-based retrieval workflows are supported in addition to push notifications, depending on your integration design and operational preference.

Note: messaging fees and carrier policies change over time. Use direct sales/support channels for current commercial and compliance details.

Need Help With a Messaging Deployment?

Apeiron can review number strategy, compliance path, and integration design before launch.
