Number format in Bermuda

Bermuda uses the North American Numbering Plan: +1, a three-digit area code and a seven-digit number, such as +1 441 370 1234. The API reads the area code (441 here) to price the number as Bermuda rather than the United States, so keep the full eleven digits in your list.

Alphabet and segments

English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to Bermuda holds 160 characters and each part of a longer text 153. Watch for curly quotes and emoji copied from other tools: one of them moves the whole text to Unicode at 70 characters per segment, and POST /v1/estimates shows the encoding before you send.

Time zone and timing

Bermuda changes its clocks: Bermuda is on UTC-4 in January and UTC-3 in July. 09:00 in Bermuda is 13:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example -04:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.

Send to Bermuda with one request

The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (BM) and the price. A delivered or failed event follows on your webhook, and a failed message is refunded.

For a list, send the same text to up to 10,000 numbers with POST /v1/batches, or a personal text per number in messages.
