Number format

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

Write numbers for Jamaica in international format: the calling code +1 first, then the national number. If people in Jamaica 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 +1 876 500 1234. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Most recipients in Jamaica 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.
