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.

Questions about bulk SMS to Canada

How much does bulk SMS to Canada cost?
Each SMS segment to Canada costs $0.00515. A plain message of up to 160 characters is one segment, so 10,000 messages cost $51.50. Longer or Unicode texts use more segments, and the console shows the exact total before you send.
Are failed messages to Canada refunded?
Yes. When the network reports a message as failed, its price returns to your credit automatically and appears as a refund line on your ledger. Numbers the console leaves out before sending, such as duplicates or invalid formats, are never charged.
How many messages to Canada does a $40 top-up buy?
$40 buys 7,766 single-segment messages to Canada. A first top-up adds +10% bonus credit, which raises that to 8,543. Credit never expires and works for every destination.
Should we send in English, French, or both?
National lists often go out in both languages. Quebec lists read best in French, while lists in the western provinces usually go out in English.
How does time zone difference affect national sends?
Stagger sends by region, starting with the Maritimes in early morning. Send SMS during daytime hours in Vancouver for better engagement.
