Time zones and timing
Central America keeps UTC-6 (Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica) or UTC-5 (Panama) all year. Most Caribbean islands use Atlantic time, UTC-4, without daylight saving; Cuba, the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands follow daylight saving changes, and Jamaica and the Cayman Islands stay on UTC-5.
Alphabets and message length
Spanish, English and French texts fit GSM-7 when written without curly quotes or emoji. Many islands share +1 with North America; the workspace reads the area code to find the right island and price.
Tips for this region
- Island numbers inside +1 are priced by their area code, so check the country chips after pasting.
- Mention the place and time plainly for visitors who are new to the island.
- Hurricane season updates and ferry changes are short, factual texts people appreciate.
