Mobiles in Hong Kong carry 8 digits after +852 with no trunk 0, so 5123 4567 is sent as +852 5123 4567. Set Hong Kong as the default country and local numbers need no prefix at all.
+852 5123 4567
Alphabet and message length
Cantonese Chinese and English is written in traditional Chinese characters script, which SMS carries as Unicode: 70 characters fit one segment and each part of a longer text holds 67. An English or Latin-letter version of the same notice fits 160 characters per segment, so bilingual senders often run two short campaigns instead of one long one.
Local time in Hong Kong
