Number format

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

Write numbers for the Gambia in international format: the calling code +220 first, then the national number. If people in Gambia 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 +220 700 1234. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in the Gambia read?

Most recipients in Gambia read English. Plain English text fits the GSM-7 alphabet, so one SMS segment holds 160 characters (153 per part when a message is split). An emoji or a curly quote switches the whole message to UCS-2 at 70 characters per segment.

When is the best time to send SMS to the Gambia?

The Gambia keeps one time offset, UTC+0, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Banjul 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.
