Phone number format in Argentina
Argentine mobiles written for texting need a 9 after +54, then the area code without its 0 and the number without the local 15. A mobile dialled at home as 011 15-2345-6789 goes into your list as +54 9 11 2345 6789.
Alphabet and message length
Texts in Spanish stay at 160 characters per segment until they use á, í, ó and ú. Those letters are not in GSM-7, so the message becomes Unicode with 70 characters per segment (67 per part). Short reminders written without them stay in one segment, and the composer names each letter that changed the count.
Main languages: Spanish.
