Number format for Australia

Mobiles in Australia carry 9 digits after +61. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 0412 345 678; with Australia as the default country the console reads that as +61 412 345 678, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.

Alphabet and message length

English text fits the GSM-7 alphabet, so a single SMS to Australia carries 160 characters and each part of a longer one carries 153. One emoji or curly quote turns the whole text into Unicode at 70 characters per segment; the composer names that character and can swap quotes and dashes for plain ones.

Local time in Australia

Australia spans 6 offsets in January, from UTC+8 to UTC+11, so a national list reads the same text at different local hours. A 09:00 start in Lord Howe is 22:00 UTC in January and 22:30 UTC in July; the console shows both times when you schedule.
