Number format
How do I write Australia numbers for a bulk SMS list?
Write numbers for Australia in international format: the calling code +61 first, then the national number. If people in Australia dial a domestic trunk prefix such as 0 at the start, leave it out after the calling code. A number written this way looks like +61 412 345 678. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.
Language
Which alphabet do recipients in Australia read?
Most recipients in Australia read English. Plain English text fits the GSM-7 alphabet, so one SMS segment holds 160 characters (153 per part when a message is split). An emoji or a curly quote switches the whole message to UCS-2 at 70 characters per segment.
Timing
When is the best time to send SMS to Australia?
Australia spans 7 time offsets, from UTC+8 to UTC+11 in January, so one send lands at different local hours across the country; splitting a large list by region and scheduling each part keeps every message in local daytime. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Sydney is 22:00 to 09:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
