Number format for Russia

Mobiles in Russia carry 10 digits after +7. Locally they are written with a leading 8, like 8 (912) 345-67-89; with Russia as the default country the console reads that as +7 912 345 67 89, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient. Russia shares +7 with Kazakhstan; numbers with 6 or 7 right after +7 are priced as Kazakhstan, all others as Russia.

+7 912 345 67 89

Alphabet and message length

Russian is written in Cyrillic 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 Russia

Russia spans 11 offsets in January, from UTC+2 to UTC+12, so a national list reads the same text at different local hours. A 09:00 start in Kaliningrad is 07:00 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
