Cost

How much does bulk SMS to Canada cost?

The rate is fixed per segment and the same for every mobile number in Canada. Here is what common campaign sizes cost with a one-segment message, and with a longer two-segment message.

Number format

How do I write Canada numbers for a bulk SMS list?

Write numbers for Canada in international format: the calling code +1 first, then the national number. If people in Canada 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 +1 416 555 0123. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Canada read?

Most recipients in Canada read English and 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 Canada?

Canada spans 10 time offsets, from UTC-8 to UTC-3:30 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 Toronto is 14:00 to 01:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
