Can Klaviyo send SMS to customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Egypt?

Klaviyo’s list of supported SMS countries, checked on 12 October 2026, covers the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, much of Europe, Australia and New Zealand. No Gulf country and not Egypt. Nonito sends SMS in Egypt, priced per segment in Egyptian pounds; for Gulf sender IDs, ask us on a call.

Does Klaviyo support WhatsApp?

Yes. Klaviyo has a native WhatsApp channel with two-way messaging, campaigns and flows, billed per template message from prepaid credit. The difference with Nonito is less about WhatsApp itself and more about SMS coverage in the region, Odoo, and where the team and data sit.

Is Klaviyo available in Arabic?

Klaviyo’s interface comes in eleven languages and Arabic is not one of them. Paid accounts can translate message content into Arabic. Nonito’s interface is in English too; the difference is that our templates, SMS counter and flow library are written for Arabic from the start, and the team you speak to is Arabic-speaking.

Nonito vs Klaviyo

Klaviyo is excellent at email and has a native WhatsApp channel, but its SMS does not cover any Gulf country or Egypt and it keeps all customer data in the US. Nonito puts WhatsApp, SMS and email for this region on one bill, and connects to Odoo as well as Shopify.

You need predictive segments such as expected lifetime value, and have at least 500 customers with order history.

You run on Odoo, or on Shopify and Odoo together.

Moving from Klaviyo to Nonito.

You can keep Klaviyo running until the new flows are live, then turn it off.

Export your contacts from Klaviyo
Klaviyo’s own off-boarding guide covers exporting lists, segments, SMS consent and your suppression list to CSV, and email templates to HTML.
02
Connect your store
Shopify connects in a few clicks and is live the same day. Odoo connects through Nitro, which we set up with you during onboarding.
03
Bring your WhatsApp number and templates
Email templates export from Klaviyo as HTML, so we can rebuild them in Nonito rather than from scratch.
04
Turn on the first flows, then switch Klaviyo off
Start with order confirmation, abandoned cart and post-purchase feedback, which we set up with you. Cancel Klaviyo once they are sending and you can see the orders they bring back.
