Yes, if your message is more than 160 characters it will be concatenated as a long SMS. Note that this feature to some degree depends on how the receiving phone responds to concatenated SMS.

What is a flash message?
Flash SMS is the type of message that appears immediately on the recipient’s screen regardless of what he/she is doing on the phone at the moment. It’s the type of message that most network providers displays to you when you requested for some services e.g to check your account balance. Unlike the normal message, it does not get automatically saved into the recipient’s inbox; although some phones may provide the recipient with an option to save the message or discard it after reading. Flash message costs the same SMS units on ediarosms as normal SMS.
It is mostly useful in emergency situations where you want the person who receives the SMS to read it just once and immediately. For example if there’s a fire alert, or the need for confidentiality like one-time passwords (OTP), etc.
How do I change the name that my SMS comes from?
You can send SMS using your personal name, business name or company name as your Sender ID. The maximum length of a Sender ID is 11 characters. Sender ID might get filtered out by some network providers. Please test sender ID before using it. If you are sending in Bulk, you can test it by sending the message with the Sender ID to all your prefered network of your family, friends and colleagues and confirm if they get the message.
There are 2 options to edit the Sender name.
- Login to your account, click on your sender name on the top menu – Profile – Default Sender and update the detail to your prefered sender ID.
- Login to your account – SMS Sending – Send Message – on the page where you enter the detail, delete and replace sender name with your prefered sender ID.

I saw a negative account balance, what happened?
Because the exact cost/units of the SMS couldn’t be determined before the message was sent, the lowest charge to the SMS prefix per SMS page will be assumed. After few seconds, the real network/units will be determined; and if more units were spent, the excess will be deducted as well. But if your balance was already empty at that point, it will reflect a negative.
How quickly are messages delivered?
We can guarantee that text messages are sent off instantly, within seconds, once we receive a request from you. Messages are normally delivered within a few seconds as well, as long as the recipient’s phone is in the coverage area. We cannot guarantee the delivery time though, since it depends on network conditions, which are outside of our control.
What do different delivery statuses mean?
The delivery status of text messages can be always monitored in our Website and using API.
Please find below the delivery statuses that are available online with explanations:
Delivered – the text messages has been sent and the mobile operator confirmed the delivery.
Accepted – the text message has been sent, however the mobile operator has not delivered it yet. Most common reason: the mobile phone is switched off, is out of the coverage area, or the mobile provider is experiencing difficulties. Sometimes the final delivery notification may take up to 12 hours, depending on the mobile operator, which we do not control.
Failed – the text message has been sent but the mobile operator was unable to deliver it. Most common reason: the mobile phone is switched off, is out of the coverage area or the mobile provider is experiencing difficulties.
Rejected – the SMS was rejected by the mobile operator or ediarosms. Most common reasons: recipient has opted out from your list or the mobile number belongs to “Do not Disturb” registry.

The name registration is country specific, hence you need to notify us for each country you need it.
