Number format

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

Write numbers for Laos in international format: the calling code +856 first, then the national number. If people in Laos 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 +856 20 1234 5678. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Laos read?

Most recipients in Laos read Lao. Text written in Lao 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.
