Number format

How do I write Cape Verde numbers for a bulk SMS list?

Write numbers for Cape Verde in international format: the calling code +238 first, then the national number. If people in Cape Verde 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 +238 512 3456. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Cape Verde read?

Most recipients in Cape Verde read Portuguese. Text without special letters fits GSM-7 at 160 characters per segment, but á, â, ã, ç, ê, í, ó, ô, õ and ú 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.

When is the best time to send SMS to Cape Verde?

Cape Verde keeps one time offset, UTC-1, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Cape Verde is 10:00 to 21:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
