Number format for India
Mobiles in India carry 10 digits after +91. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 081234 56789; with India as the default country the console reads that as +91 81234 56789, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.
+91 81234 56789
Alphabet and message length
Hindi, English and many regional languages is written in Devanagari and the other Indian scripts 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 India
India keeps UTC+5:30 all year, with no clock change. A 09:00 start in Kolkata is 03:30 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
