Number format

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

Write numbers for Egypt in international format: the calling code +20 first, then the national number. If people in Egypt 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 +20 1 555 01 23. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Egypt read?

Most recipients in Egypt read Arabic. Text written in Arabic is sent in UCS-2, so one SMS segment holds 70 characters (67 per part when split), and a 140-character message costs two segments. Messages in English or other plain Latin text fit 160 characters per segment.
