Number format in Mauritius
Mobile numbers in Mauritius have 8 digits after +230 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 5251 2345 becomes +230 5251 2345 in the to field.
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
Mauritius keeps UTC+4 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Mauritius is always 05:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
Send to Mauritius with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (MU) and the price. A delivered or failed event follows on your webhook, and a failed message is refunded.
For a list, send the same text to up to 10,000 numbers with POST /v1/batches, or a personal text per number in messages.
