Number format

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

Write numbers for Eritrea in international format: the calling code +291 first, then the national number. If people in Eritrea 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 +291 7 555 01 23. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Eritrea read?

Most recipients in Eritrea read Tigrinya, Arabic and English. Text written in Ge'ez and 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.

Timing

When is the best time to send SMS to Eritrea?

Eritrea keeps one time offset, UTC+3, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Asmara is 06:00 to 17:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
