Rules & regulations

Brand name is compulsory to be included in the SMS content. Using SID that is not matched with the brand name will be considered as misused and the SID will be blocked.
One API
How sending works
You send to every destination through the same endpoint and the same keys. Bird picks a compliant route for the country, applies opt-out handling on every message, and reports delivery from carrier receipts. The country-specific part is which sender you register. The API call does not change.
