Sending to Vietnam: numbers, alphabet and timing
Number format
How do Vietnam mobile numbers look?
A typical mobile number in Vietnam has 9 digits after the calling code +84. At home people write it with a leading 0, as in 0912 345 678, and that 0 is dropped in the international form: +84 912 345 678. Spaces, dots, dashes and brackets in your list are removed automatically.
Alphabet
Which alphabet do messages to Vietnam use?
Most people in Vietnam read Vietnamese. Plain text fits 160 characters per SMS in GSM-7, but the tone marks (ă, â, đ, ơ, ư and the accented vowels) are not in that alphabet, and one of them moves the whole message to Unicode at 70 characters per SMS (67 per part). The composer lists each of these characters, so you can choose between keeping the accents and saving segments.
