Number format

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

Write numbers for the Maldives in international format: the calling code +960 first, then the national number. If people in Maldives 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 +960 7700 1234. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in the Maldives read?

Most recipients in Maldives read Dhivehi and English. Text written in Thaana 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.

When is the best time to send SMS to the Maldives?

The Maldives keeps one time offset, UTC+5, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Maldives is 04:00 to 15:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
