Phone number format in Spain
A mobile number in Spain has 9 digits after +34 and no leading 0, so 612 34 56 78 becomes +34 612 34 56 78 in international format. With Spain 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 Spain
Spain has more than one time zone, from UTC+0 in Canary to UTC+1 in Madrid in January. A campaign scheduled for 10:00 in Madrid reaches other regions earlier or later, so for local reminders split the list by region and schedule each part for its own morning.
