Phone number format in Martinique
A mobile number in Martinique has 9 digits after +596. People write it locally with a 0 in front (0696 20 12 34); paste it like that with Martinique as the default country, or as +596 696 20 12 34, and the workspace treats both the same.
Alphabet and message length
Texts in French stay at 160 characters per segment until they use â, ê, î, ô, û, ç, ë and ï. 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: French.
