Number format

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

Write numbers for Samoa in international format: the calling code +685 first, then the national number. If people in Samoa 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 +685 72 555 0123. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Samoa read?

Most recipients in Samoa read English and Pacific languages. Plain English 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.
