EnglishSending SMS to Latvia
Latvia uses +371 with eight-digit numbers and no trunk prefix. Latvian is Latin script with macrons and cedillas that fall outside GSM-7. A substantial Russian-speaking minority means many campaigns run in two languages with two different segment costs.
How to dial Latvia
Every part of the number, laid out separately, then the same thing written the way an API expects it.
+371 — +371 followed by the national number
From abroad, replace your exit code with +, then 371, then the national number — dropping the national trunk prefix if the country uses one (a leading 0 in most, though not in the +1 numbering plan). Store numbers in E.164 (+371…) and they work from any country and any API.
