Number format

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

Write numbers for Mozambique in international format: the calling code +258 first, then the national number. If people in Mozambique 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 +258 800 123 456. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Mozambique read?

Most recipients in Mozambique read Portuguese. Text without special letters fits GSM-7 at 160 characters per segment, but á, â, ã, ç, ê, í, ó, ô, õ and ú 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 Mozambique?

Mozambique keeps one time offset, UTC+2, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Maputo 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.
