Number format
How do I write Burkina Faso numbers for a bulk SMS list?
Write numbers for Burkina Faso in international format: the calling code +226 first, then the national number. If people in Burkina Faso 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 +226 7 000 1234. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.
Language
Which alphabet do recipients in Burkina Faso read?
Most recipients in Burkina Faso read French. Text without special letters fits GSM-7 at 160 characters per segment, but â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï are outside that alphabet and switch the whole message to UCS-2 at 70 characters per segment. Writing those letters without accents, or keeping the text short, keeps a campaign at one segment.
Timing
When is the best time to send SMS to Burkina Faso?
Burkina Faso keeps one time offset, UTC+0, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Ouagadougou is 09:00 to 20:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
