When sending a text message it’s important to make sure the number you are sending to is internationally formatted. This means removing the ‘0’ off the front of the number and replacing it with the specific country code of the destination number (note, this is where the number is registered – not it’s physical location). This should be done without any extra ’00’ or ‘+’ in front of the country code.
Example: 07123456789 as a UK number, where the country code is ‘44‘
– +447123456789 – wrong
– 00447123456789 – wrong
– 7123456789 – wrong
– 447123456789 – correct
NB: If sending in standard format, without any country code at all (i.e. 07123456788) using fastsms we will assume this is a UK destination.
For your reference, the following table includes country codes for anywhere in the world. This should not be used as a guide for the destinations that we deliver to, click here for our full Network Coverage.
