Sending to East and Southern Africa: timing and text
Southern Africa keeps UTC+2 (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana and their neighbours) and Angola UTC+1, East Africa UTC+3 (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia), and the islands UTC+3 or UTC+4, all without clock changes.
English and Swahili texts fit GSM-7. Amharic and Tigrinya use the Ge'ez script and are sent as Unicode, and Reunion and Mayotte share +262: the API prices +262 639 mobiles as Mayotte and the rest as Reunion.
The API needs nothing region-specific: put numbers in international format (+ and the calling code), and each one is priced by its own country. How numbers are read
