Number format

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

Write numbers for the Netherlands in international format: the calling code +31 first, then the national number. If people in Netherlands 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 +31 6 1234 5678. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Most recipients in Netherlands read Dutch. Plain Dutch 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.
