Send SMS to North America: prices for 6 countries
North America on this page means the United States, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Greenland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The United States and Canada share the +1 calling code and ten-digit numbers, so a list from a booking system on either side of the border can go out as one campaign, and the workspace still prices each number by its own country.
Small businesses here text for the same reasons everywhere: appointment reminders for dentists and salons, pickup notes from restaurants, delivery windows from installers, and short offers to customers who signed up at the counter. Mexico adds a large Spanish-speaking audience reached with numbers that start with +52.

Time zones and timing
The region spans many time zones: from Newfoundland (UTC-3:30) and the Atlantic provinces to Pacific time on the west coast, with Alaska and Hawaii further behind. Most of the United States and Canada move their clocks forward in March and back in November, while Arizona (outside the Navajo Nation), Hawaii and most of Mexico stay on standard time all year. Schedule by your customers' local morning, not your own.
Alphabets and message length
English, French and Spanish texts stay in GSM-7 when you avoid curly quotes and emoji, so 160 characters fit in one segment. Accented letters such as é and ñ are part of GSM-7; others like á or ç switch the text to Unicode.
Tips for this region
- Write numbers with +1 for the US and Canada; ten digits without a code work when you pick the United States or Canada as the default country.
- Put your business name at the start of the text, since recipients see a number, not a name.
- Keep promotional texts to daytime hours in the recipient's time zone.
