International SMS numbers
August 31st, 2009
To send a text message via the Hosting Ireland SMS API to an international number, the number needs to be formatted in such a way that the gateway knows how to route the message.
If the number was being sent to a UK number (country code +44), and the number itself was 07832165422 then the international number would be formatted as:
447832165422
This same format should work throughout all the mobile networks, but if any mobile networks report a problem with the number, then you can try the following formats as well:
00447832165422,
+447832165422
