Number format

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

Write numbers for Hungary in international format: the calling code +36 first, then the national number. If people in Hungary 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 +36 30 555 1234. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Hungary read?

Most recipients in Hungary read Hungarian. Text without special letters fits GSM-7 at 160 characters per segment, but á, í, ó, ő, ú and ű 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.
