Sending Text Reminders to International Phone Numbers

Learn how to send international SMS reminders with Timeline Genius! Formatting tips & country exceptions included.

Updated over a month ago

Timeline Genius allows you to send SMS reminders worldwide, helping keep your wedding party, vendors, and team on track—no matter where they are! Here’s what you need to know about sending text reminders to international phone numbers.

Which Countries Can Receive SMS?

We send SMS worldwide wherever local providers allow us to do so. However, there are two important exceptions:

  1. United Kingdom (UK) – We use a UK-based number for sending SMS.

  2. Malaysia – We do not send SMS to at least one country, most likely Malaysia, because a local mobile number registration is required for sending messages there.

If your recipients are in Germany (or most other countries), they should receive SMS reminders without an issue!

📌 How to Format International Phone Numbers

To ensure successful delivery, international phone numbers must be entered in the following format:

Correct Format: +0 000 000 0000
🚫 Incorrect Format: +00 (000) 000-0000 or 000-000-0000

Make sure there are no additional digits, spaces, or special characters beyond what’s needed for the country’s standard phone number format.

🔍 Testing International SMS Delivery

If you’re unsure whether a recipient will receive the text, we recommend sending a test SMS before the event. Have a collaborator confirm receipt to ensure everything is working as expected.
