Number format in Equatorial Guinea
Mobile numbers in Equatorial Guinea have 9 digits after +240 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 222 123 456 becomes +240 222 123 456 in the to field.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Spanish fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use á, í, ó and ú: those letters are outside GSM-7 and turn the message into Unicode at 70 characters per segment (67 per part). For short alerts, write them without those letters to keep one segment; for longer texts, the console names each letter that changed the encoding.
Time zone and timing
Equatorial Guinea keeps UTC+1 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Malabo is always 08:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
