Best practices

Anticipate peak times

On Christmas Eve and at midnight on 31 December, networks are saturated. Sending a little early makes sure your message arrives on time.

Match the tone to the recipient

A message to a close friend can be casual; to a client or colleague, stay measured and avoid abbreviations. The same template works in two registers.

Frequently asked questions

When should new year wishes be sent?+

Between 1 and 31 January by French custom. To avoid network congestion at midnight on 31 December, send earlier in the evening or on 1 January.

Can I send the same SMS to several people?+

On this service messages are sent one at a time: there is no group sending. You can reuse the same template, personalising it for each recipient.
