Number format

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

Write numbers for Lesotho in international format: the calling code +266 first, then the national number. If people in Lesotho 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 +266 5 123 4567. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Lesotho read?

Most recipients in Lesotho 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.

Timing

When is the best time to send SMS to Lesotho?

Lesotho keeps one time offset, UTC+2, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Maseru is 07:00 to 18:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
