Number format in Slovenia

Mobile numbers in Slovenia have 8 digits after +386. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (031 234 567); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +386 31 234 567.

Alphabet and segments

Texts in Slovenian fit 160 GSM-7 characters per segment until they use č, š and ž: 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

Slovenia changes its clocks: Ljubljana is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Ljubljana 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.
