Bulk SMS to Canada
Bulk SMS to Canada from $0.00515 per message
Toronto and Montreal anchor Canada's finance, education, and retail sectors where large member lists are common. Colleges, provincial health services, and national retailers send appointment reminders, store promotions, and campus alerts. Volume spikes when winter storm closures are announced, Black Friday deals go live, or university admission decisions are released. Per-message pricing helps national organizations manage costs when sending to remote northern communities and dense urban areas in the same campaign.

Number format for Canada
Canada is part of the +1 North American plan: area code 506, then seven digits, as in +1 506 234 5678. That area code is how the console tells Canada apart from the United States and charges the Canada price, so keep all eleven digits.
+1 506 234 5678
Alphabet and message length
English and French uses letters outside GSM-7, such as â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï. Any one of them sends the whole text as Unicode, 70 characters per segment and 67 per part. Written without those marks the same text keeps 160 characters per segment, which often cuts a long message to less than half the segments.
Local time in Canada
Canada spans 6 offsets in January, from UTC-8 to UTC-3:30, so a national list reads the same text at different local hours. A 09:00 start in St Johns is 12:30 UTC in January and 11:30 UTC in July; the console shows both times when you schedule.
