Languages and alphabets
Which alphabet will messages to Oceania use?
English is the main business language in Australia, New Zealand and most Pacific states and fits GSM-7 at 160 characters. French is used in New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna, and Samoan, Tongan, Fijian and Maori use Latin letters, though macrons such as ā in Maori are outside GSM-7 and switch a message to Unicode.
Time zones
When should you send bulk SMS in Oceania?
Australia alone spans from UTC+8 in Perth to UTC+10 in Sydney, with summer time in the south-east; New Zealand sits at UTC+12 or UTC+13 in summer, and the Pacific islands sit on both sides of the date line, from UTC-11 in American Samoa to UTC+14 in eastern Kiribati. A morning send from Sydney reaches Perth before 08:00, so split national lists.
Sender tip
Australian mobile numbers start with 4 after +61; drop the leading 0 that local formats use before uploading the list.
