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.

Wallis and Futuna keeps UTC+12 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Wallis is always 21:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.
