Number format for Sri Lanka
Mobiles in Sri Lanka carry 9 digits after +94. Locally they are written with a leading 0, like 071 234 5678; with Sri Lanka as the default country the console reads that as +94 71 234 5678, so local and international forms end up as the same recipient.
+94 71 234 5678
Alphabet and message length
Sinhala, Tamil and English is written in Sinhala and Tamil 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 Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka keeps UTC+5:30 all year, with no clock change. A 09:00 start in Colombo is 03:30 UTC; the console shows both times when you schedule.
