Number format in Mauritania
Mobile numbers in Mauritania have 8 digits after +222 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 22 12 34 56 becomes +222 22 12 34 56 in the to field.
Alphabet and segments
Text in Arabic is always Unicode, so a message to Mauritania written in Arabic carries 70 characters in one segment and 67 in each part of a longer one. Codes and alerts written in English or plain Latin letters fit 160 characters, which halves the cost of a long notice.
Time zone and timing
Mauritania keeps UTC+0 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Nouakchott is always 09:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
