Bulk SMS to North America
North America on BulkSMSOnline covers the United States, Canada and Mexico together with Greenland, Bermuda and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The United States and Canada share the +1 calling code of the North American Numbering Plan, so a number's three-digit area code tells the console which of the two it belongs to, while Mexico uses +52. Retailers, clinics, delivery firms and banks across the region send order updates, appointment reminders and one-time codes to customers who expect short, clear texts.

Languages and alphabets
Which alphabet will messages to North America use?
English dominates in the United States and most of Canada, French is the main language in Quebec, and Spanish in Mexico. Plain English fits the GSM-7 alphabet at 160 characters per SMS. French and Spanish accents such as é and ñ are part of GSM-7, but á, í, ó, ú, ç and ê are not, so a message that uses them switches to Unicode at 70 characters per segment.
Time zones
When should you send bulk SMS in North America?
The region spans from UTC-10 in Hawaii to UTC-2 in Nuuk, Greenland; most of the United States and Canada move their clocks forward in summer, while most of Mexico keeps the same time all year. A campaign sent at 10:00 in New York arrives at 07:00 in Los Angeles, so split national lists by time zone or schedule for the late morning on the East Coast.
Sender tip
For a national US list, schedule two runs: one for Eastern and Central numbers and one for Mountain and Pacific numbers, each at mid-morning local time.
