Number format

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

Write numbers for the Philippines in international format: the calling code +63 first, then the national number. If people in Philippines 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 +63 900 1234567. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in the Philippines read?

Most recipients in Philippines read Filipino and English. Plain Filipino 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.
