Alphabet and segments

English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to the Solomon Islands holds 160 characters and each part of a longer text 153.

The Solomon Islands keeps UTC+11 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Guadalcanal is always 22:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
