Cost

How much does bulk SMS to the Seychelles cost?

The rate is fixed per segment and the same for every mobile number in the Seychelles. Here is what common campaign sizes cost with a one-segment message, and with a longer two-segment message.

Bulk SMS cost to Seychelles by campaign size

Number format

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

Write numbers for the Seychelles in international format: the calling code +248 first, then the national number. If people in Seychelles 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 +248 700 1234. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in the Seychelles read?

Most recipients in Seychelles read French. Text without special letters fits GSM-7 at 160 characters per segment, but â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï 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 the Seychelles?

The Seychelles keeps one time offset, UTC+4, all year. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Mahe is 05:00 to 16:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
