Working with Country Codes

The SMS feature requires that a country code be associated with every SMS phone number. If no country code is specified by the user, the system assumes a value of US (indicating that the country code is US and the region dialing code is +1).

To work with country codes

1 Open the Table Editor.
2 Select to edit the country_code Mq View.
3 To create a new country code, click New.
4 In these fields, do the following (more specific information is available for these fields in the SMS Messaging Administration Guide):

Field

Action

Country Code

Specifies the country code.

The Country Code is a two character code that must match a value from the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard (for more information about the codes, see http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso-3166-1_decoding_table.htm).

If the value does not match a code from the ISO standard, those SMS messages that use that incorrect country code will be rejected by the SMS server and will not be sent.

This field must be only 2 alphabetic characters in length.

Note: Once you add a Country Code, you cannot delete it through the Table Editor.

No. of Phones

Displays the number of phone numbers that have been assigned to this country code.

Description

Specifies a description to display to users for help in selecting the appropriate country code.

The description may be up to 255 characters in length. The Description attribute may contain spaces and punctuation.

For example, you could specify a description of Netherlands, The for the country code NL.

5 Click Save and then click Close.
6 As needed, Edit existing country codes.
7 As needed, change the sort order for the country codes by clicking the Sort button.
8 As needed, change the display of the country code Mq view by clicking the Display button.
