Number format
How do I write United Kingdom numbers for a bulk SMS list?
Write numbers for the United Kingdom in international format: the calling code +44 first, then the national number. If people in United Kingdom 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 +44 7 1234 5678. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Most recipients in United Kingdom 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.
