Niamey, the capital of Niger, is home to small businesses like market stalls, tailoring shops, and local transport services.

Teachers inform parents about school events, clinics remind patients of appointments, and transport services confirm pickup times. Texts are practical here because they work on all phones, even in rural areas with limited internet access.

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.
