How should mobile numbers be formatted to ensure SMS delivery?

To ensure message delivery, contact mobile numbers must be formatted correctly using international standards.

To convert mobile numbers to the correct international format, remove the leading ‘0’ or ‘+’ and replace it with the appropriate country code (e.g., 61 for Australia, 64 for New Zealand).

 For a list of country prefixes, see international codes.
