Number format

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

Write numbers for Portugal in international format: the calling code +351 first, then the national number. If people in Portugal 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 +351 900 000 000. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Portugal read?

Most recipients in Portugal 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 Portugal?

Portugal spans 2 time offsets, from UTC-1 to UTC+0 in January, so one send lands at different local hours across the country; splitting a large list by region and scheduling each part keeps every message in local daytime. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Lisbon is 09:00 to 20:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
