Phone number format in Mexico
A mobile number in Mexico has 10 digits after +52 and no leading 0, so 222 123 4567 becomes +52 222 123 4567 in international format. With Mexico as the default country you can paste the local form.
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.
Best time to send to Mexico
Mexico has more than one time zone, from UTC-8 in Tijuana to UTC-5 in Cancun in January. A campaign scheduled for 10:00 in Mexico City reaches other regions earlier or later, so for local reminders split the list by region and schedule each part for its own morning.
