Number format in Turks and Caicos Islands
The Turks and Caicos Islands uses the North American Numbering Plan: +1, a three-digit area code and a seven-digit number, such as +1 649 231 1234. The API reads the area code (649 here) to price the number as the Turks and Caicos Islands rather than the United States, so keep the full eleven digits in your list.
Alphabet and segments
English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to the Turks and Caicos Islands holds 160 characters and each part of a longer text 153. Watch for curly quotes and emoji copied from other tools: one of them moves the whole text to Unicode at 70 characters per segment, and POST /v1/estimates shows the encoding before you send.
Time zone and timing
The Turks and Caicos Islands changes its clocks: Grand Turk is on UTC-5 in January and UTC-4 in July. 09:00 in Grand Turk is 14:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example -05:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.
