Number format

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

Write numbers for Switzerland in international format: the calling code +41 first, then the national number. If people in Switzerland 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 +41 79 000 00 00. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in Switzerland read?

Most recipients in Switzerland 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 Switzerland?

Switzerland is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July, as clocks change for summer time. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in Zurich is 08:00 to 19:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
