Phone number format in Namibia
A mobile number in Namibia has 9 digits after +264. People write it locally with a 0 in front (081 123 4567); paste it like that with Namibia as the default country, or as +264 81 123 4567, and the workspace treats both the same.
Alphabet and message length
Messages in English and Afrikaans use the plain GSM-7 alphabet, so a text to Namibia holds 160 characters in one segment and 153 in each part of a longer one. Curly quotes or an emoji pasted from another app switch it to Unicode (70 characters); the composer shows those characters and replaces quotes with plain ones in one click.
Main languages: English and Afrikaans.
Best time to send to Namibia
Namibia stays on UTC+2 all year, so 10:00 in Windhoek is always 08:00 UTC. The scheduler takes your own time zone and shows the same moment in UTC, which makes a 10:00 local send easy to set from anywhere.
