Number Format
smsPULSE Standard Number formats
Using email
When sending messages using the email method, the subject line must include a number in the following format:
<countryCode><mobileNumber>
The mobile number must be stripped of any leading zeros. Any leading zeros or other characters ahead of the country code will be removed. Then the SMS is sent.
Using Default Country code
When you send messages on an smsPULSE Server where a Default Country code is set (44 for UK, for example), the following format applies:
- Sending to a number that starts with a single zero: 0nnnnnnn will convert to <countryCode>nnnnnnn
- Sending to a number with a leading + or leading 00: Country code will not be added and so a number +<countryCode>nnnnnnn will convert to <countryCode>nnnnnnn, and the same to 00<countryCode>nnnnnnn, will convert to <countryCode>nnnnnnn
Using database records
When creating database records in this database (smspulse.nsf), the mobile number can remain in its common format but must not have the country code included if the smsCountry field contains data. smsPULSE will "clean" the number from signs and leading zeros and then add the data in smsCountry to the front of it, then send it out.
