Phone number format in Seychelles
A mobile number in the Seychelles has 7 digits after +248 and no leading 0, so 2 510 123 becomes +248 2 510 123 in international format. With the Seychelles as the default country you can paste the local form.
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.
Best time to send to Seychelles
The Seychelles stays on UTC+4 all year, so 10:00 in Mahe is always 06:00 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.
