Number format

How do I write United States numbers for a bulk SMS list?

Write numbers for the United States in international format: the calling code +1 first, then the national number. If people in United States 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 +1 212 555 0100. Spaces and dashes are fine; the console removes them when it reads your list.

Language

Which alphabet do recipients in the United States read?

Most recipients in United States 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.

Timing

When is the best time to send SMS to the United States?

The United States spans 8 time offsets, from UTC-10 to UTC-5 in January, so one send lands at different local hours across the country; splitting a large list by region and scheduling each part keeps every message in local daytime. Local 9:00 to 20:00 in New York is 14:00 to 01:00 UTC in January. The scheduler uses the time zone of your own browser, so convert the local hour you want before you pick it.
