Phone number format in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is part of the North American plan: +1, a three-digit area code and seven digits, such as +1 787 234 5678. The workspace reads the area code (787 in this example) to charge the Puerto Rico price, so keep all eleven digits in your list.
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.
