Bulk SMS API in North America

The United States and Canada share the +1 calling code with ten-digit numbers, so one list can mix both and the API prices each number by its area code. Bermuda, Greenland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon complete the region.

Sending to North America: timing and text

The two countries span eight time zones from Newfoundland (UTC-3:30 in winter) to Hawaii (UTC-10), and most of it moves its clocks forward in March and back in November. A reminder batch for the whole of the United States works best as several batches, one per zone, each with its own send_at.

Text written in plain English fits the GSM-7 alphabet at 160 characters per segment. Messages for French-speaking Quebec often carry é and è, which are part of GSM-7, while â, ê, î, ô, û and ç switch a text to Unicode, so the estimate endpoint is worth a call before a large French send.

The API needs nothing region-specific: put numbers in international format (+ and the calling code), and each one is priced by its own country. How numbers are read
