Number format in Saint Pierre and Miquelon

Mobile numbers in Saint Pierre and Miquelon have 6 digits after +508. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (055 12 34); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +508 55 12 34.

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.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon changes its clocks: Miquelon is on UTC-3 in January and UTC-2 in July. 09:00 in Miquelon is 12:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example -03:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.
