Number format in Martinique
Mobile numbers in Martinique have 9 digits after +596. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (0696 20 12 34); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +596 696 20 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
Martinique keeps UTC-4 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Martinique is always 13:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
Send to Martinique with one request
