Number format in New Caledonia
Mobile numbers in New Caledonia have 6 digits after +687 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 75.12.34 becomes +687 75 12 34 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
New Caledonia keeps UTC+11 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Noumea is always 22:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
