Phone number format in Sweden
A mobile number in Sweden has 9 digits after +46. People write it locally with a 0 in front (070-123 45 67); paste it like that with Sweden as the default country, or as +46 70 123 45 67, and the workspace treats both the same.
Alphabet and message length
Messages in Swedish use the plain GSM-7 alphabet, so a text to Sweden 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: Swedish.
