What sending email to United Kingdom involves

Alphanumeric sender IDs, no registration · billed in GBP · global data region

Email does not change at the border

Mail to United Kingdom is carried the way mail is carried everywhere: a domain you verify once, DKIM keys Woyra generates, bounces and complaints suppressed automatically. What the United Kingdom endpoint changes is the account around it — GBP billing, and the global data region.

Where this data lives

Global The residency of a message is decided when it is accepted and travels with it, so it cannot be moved later by a query written somewhere else.

Prepaid, with a cap you set

An account on the United Kingdom endpoint is billed in US dollars today. Billing in GBP is where this is going, and it is a real advantage when it arrives, but a converted price needs a published rate behind it and there is not one yet, so we quote one currency rather than invent a second. Funds are reserved at the published price when a message is accepted and settled when it is delivered; a message we never deliver is never charged for, and a hard spend cap you set is enforced rather than invoiced.

One key, both directions

The same key sends SMS and one-time codes to +44 numbers, and the same domain receives: add the MX record and every address on it is an inbox, with replies linked to the email they answer.

Questions about United Kingdom

Is email delivery different in United Kingdom?

No. Email is carried the same way everywhere; what changes is the account: GBP billing and the global data region.

Where is the email address of a customer in United Kingdom stored?

Global

Can I send SMS and email to United Kingdom from one account?

Yes. One key covers email, SMS, verification and lookup, and a verification can use both channels in one request.

What does a United Kingdom phone number look like in the API?

E.164: a plus, the country code +44, then the subscriber number, as in +44712345678. Woyra strips spaces, hyphens, brackets and a leading 00, but it will not guess a missing country code, because the same digits belong to a different subscriber in every country.

Which endpoint should I call for United Kingdom?

uk.woyra.io, though the same API key works on every endpoint Woyra runs. Which one you call decides the compliance rules applied, the currency you are billed in, and — where residency requires it — which data plane answers.
