Number format for Madagascar

Mobiles in Madagascar carry 9 digits after +261. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 032 12 345 67; with Madagascar as the default country the console reads that as +261 32 12 345 67, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.

Alphabet and message length

French uses letters outside GSM-7, such as â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï. Any one of them sends the whole text as Unicode, 70 characters per segment and 67 per part. Written without those marks the same text keeps 160 characters per segment, which often cuts a long message to less than half the segments.

Local time in Madagascar

Madagascar keeps UTC+3 all year, with no clock change. A 09:00 start in Antananarivo is 06:00 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
