SMS API for Guadeloupe: bulk SMS to +590 numbers

Guadeloupe, an overseas region of France in the Caribbean, is known for its tourism industry and agricultural exports, with Basse-Terre as its capital. Businesses like hotels, car rental services, and e-commerce platforms send text messages to their customers. These messages are triggered by events such as booking confirmations, rental updates, and order shipments. SMS is chosen because it is universally accessible, works on all mobile devices, and is read quickly, making it ideal for both residents and visitors.

Number format in Guadeloupe

Mobile numbers in Guadeloupe have 9 digits after +590. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (0690 00 12 34); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +590 690 00 12 34.

Alphabet and segments

Texts in French fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï: 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

Guadeloupe keeps UTC-4 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Guadeloupe is always 13:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
