Country-specific features and restrictions for France.

Available phone number types

FR mobile numbers - Sakari-provided FR mobile phone numbers in the +33 format, which support two-way text messaging and call-forwarding where applicable
Alphanumeric Sender ID - displays your company name or brand to the recipient as the 'sent from' phone number

Local regulations in France require that you provide your full name and business or personal address to purchase a +33 number. Please provide this information if you wish to purchase a +33 number.

France Long Virtual Numbers (LVNs) should only be used for P2P (Peer-to-Peer, or person to person) message traffic.
- The French telecoms industry limits message throughput from +33 numbers to c.500 messaging segments per day.
- Messaging traffic must be balanced between outbound and inbound. For example, sending 500 outbound SMS messages from a single number with little or no inbound traffic indicates the traffic may not be P2P.
- French telecom carriers will block inappropriate messaging from a France LVN.
- Sakari will charge for sending these messages.
Alphanumeric Sender ID is not subject to these restrictions.

Sakari cannot send text messages from your existing mobile phone number.
