Number format for Portugal
Mobiles in Portugal carry 9 digits after +351 with no trunk 0, so 912 345 678 is sent as +351 912 345 678. Set Portugal as the default country and local numbers need no prefix at all.
+351 912 345 678
Alphabet and message length
Portuguese uses letters outside GSM-7, such as á, â, ã, ç, ê, í, ó, ô, õ and ú. 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 Portugal
Portugal spans 2 offsets in January, from UTC-1 to UTC+0, so a national list reads the same text at different local hours. A 09:00 start in Lisbon is 09:00 UTC in January and 08:00 UTC in July; the console shows both times when you schedule.
