Bulk SMS to Colombia

Bulk SMS to Colombia from $0.00395 per message

Bogotá and Medellín drive Colombia's economy, with sectors like retail chains, universities, and logistics firms relying on large customer lists. Organizations such as banks, schools, and delivery services send bulk SMS to keep people informed. High-volume moments include university exam result announcements, seasonal retail sales, and updates on public transport schedules. A per-message pricing model matters here because organizations often send frequent alerts to large groups, especially in remote areas.

Alphabet and message length

Spanish uses letters outside GSM-7, such as á, í, ó and ú. 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 Colombia

Colombia keeps UTC-5 all year, with no clock change. A 09:00 start in Bogota is 14:00 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
