Number format in Montenegro
Mobile numbers in Montenegro have 8 digits after +382. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (060 123 456); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +382 60 123 456.
Alphabet and segments
Texts in Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian (Latin and Cyrillic) fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use č, ć, đ, š and ž, and Cyrillic text,: 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
Montenegro changes its clocks: Podgorica is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Podgorica is 08:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +01:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.

The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (ME) and the price. A delivered or failed event follows on your webhook, and a failed message is refunded.
