Number format
How do I write Sierra Leone numbers for a bulk SMS list?
Write numbers for Sierra Leone in international format: the calling code +232 first, then the national number. If people in Sierra Leone 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 +232 30 123 456. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Most recipients in Sierra Leone read English. 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.
