Levant SMS coverage: Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq
Jordan defaults to Unifonic; Lebanon and Iraq use Twilio BYO — COD SMS for T2 and T3 Levant stores on Mrfqy.
The Levant mixes mature Jordanian e-commerce with rebuilding Iraqi logistics and Lebanese diaspora selling. Mrfqy's country packs reflect that: Jordan (JO) ships Unifonic as default SMS; Lebanon (LB) and Iraq (IQ) are T3 foundation tiers where Twilio BYO credentials fill the COD confirmation gap.
Jordan: Unifonic default
Jordan country pack includes PayTabs, HyperPay, and Jordan Post manual carrier. Unifonic pre-selects in SMS settings — enter App SID and TRA-registered sender for +962 numbers.
Amman-based fashion and pharma COD sellers report highest answer rates when SMS arrives within 30 seconds of checkout — Mrfqy's sync notification path handles this before the worker queue fallback.
Palestine (PS) stores can reuse Unifonic or Twilio depending on termination availability — configure per store under the same account switcher.
Lebanon and Iraq: Twilio path
Lebanon stores use Stripe and bank transfer with Aramex shipping — no local SMS aggregator default. Connect Twilio in Settings, use a Messaging Service with approved sender, and send COD confirmations to +961 mobiles.
Iraq COD is core for Baghdad and Erbil merchants. Twilio covers +964 when regional contracts are unavailable; keep messages short to control per-segment USD pricing.
Both countries benefit from Mrfqy's phone normalization — leading zeros and country codes strip consistently before any gateway API call.
Levant logistics is fragmented — Mrfqy SMS routing matches that reality with Unifonic where it works and Twilio where it must.
