Number format in Micronesia
Mobile numbers in Micronesia have 7 digits after +691 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 350 1234 becomes +691 350 1234 in the to field.
Alphabet and segments
English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to Micronesia holds 160 characters and each part of a longer text 153. Watch for curly quotes and emoji copied from other tools: one of them moves the whole text to Unicode at 70 characters per segment, and POST /v1/estimates shows the encoding before you send.
Time zone and timing
Micronesia spans several time zones, from UTC+10 in Chuuk to UTC+11 in Pohnpei (January offsets). A send_at of 22:00 UTC lands at 09:00 in Pohnpei in January; for a nationwide reminder, split the list by region and give each batch its own send_at.
Send to Micronesia with one request
The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (FM) 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.
