Number format for Malaysia
Mobiles in Malaysia carry 9 digits after +60. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 012-345 6789; with Malaysia as the default country the console reads that as +60 12 345 6789, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.
+60 12 345 6789
Alphabet and message length
Indonesian and Malay text fits the GSM-7 alphabet, so a single SMS to Malaysia 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 Malaysia
Malaysia uses one offset, UTC+8 in January, across its 2 time zone names. A 09:00 start in Kuala Lumpur is 01:00 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
