Number format for Rwanda

Mobiles in Rwanda carry 9 digits after +250. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 0720 123 456; with Rwanda as the default country the console reads that as +250 720 123 456, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.

+250 720 123 456

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 Rwanda

Rwanda keeps UTC+2 all year, with no clock change. A 09:00 start in Kigali is 07:00 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
