Number format for Laos

Mobiles in Laos carry 10 digits after +856. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 020 23 123 456; with Laos as the default country the console reads that as +856 20 23 123 456, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.

Alphabet and message length

Lao is written in Lao script, which SMS carries as Unicode: 70 characters fit one segment and each part of a longer text holds 67. An English or Latin-letter version of the same notice fits 160 characters per segment, so bilingual senders often run two short campaigns instead of one long one.

Local time in Laos

Laos keeps UTC+7 all year, with no clock change. A 09:00 start in Vientiane is 02:00 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
