Mobiles in Saudi Arabia carry 9 digits after +966. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 051 234 5678; with Saudi Arabia as the default country the console reads that as +966 51 234 5678, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.

Alphabet and message length

Arabic is written in Arabic 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 Saudi Arabia

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