Number format
How do I write Madagascar numbers for a bulk SMS list?
Write numbers for Madagascar in international format: the calling code +261 first, then the national number. If people in Madagascar 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 +261 32 1234567. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.
Language
Which alphabet do recipients in Madagascar read?
Most recipients in Madagascar read French. Text without special letters fits GSM-7 at 160 characters per segment, but â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï 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.
Timing
When is the best time to send SMS to Madagascar?
Madagascar keeps one time offset, UTC+3, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Antananarivo is 06:00 to 17:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
