Time zones and timing
Most of the continent sits between UTC-5 (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) and UTC-3 (Argentina, Uruguay, most of Brazil). Brazil and Paraguay no longer change clocks; Chile moves its clocks in the southern spring and autumn.
Alphabets and message length
Portuguese and Spanish use letters such as ã, õ, ç and á that are outside GSM-7, so many texts switch to Unicode with 70 characters per segment. Keeping the text short, or writing without those letters, keeps the cost at one segment.
Tips for this region
- Check the segment counter for Portuguese texts: one accented letter changes the segment size.
- Brazilian mobile numbers have 11 digits after +55, starting with the area code.
- Avoid sending late in the evening, when many people have switched to family time.
