Number format
How do Iceland mobile numbers look?
A typical mobile number in Iceland has 7 digits after the calling code +354 and is written at home without a trunk prefix, as in 611 1234, so the international form is simply +354 611 1234. Spaces, dots, dashes and brackets in your list are removed automatically.
Alphabet
Which alphabet do messages to Iceland use?
Most people in Iceland read Icelandic. Plain text fits 160 characters per SMS in GSM-7, but á, ð, é, í, ó, ú, ý and þ are not in that alphabet, and one of them moves the whole message to Unicode at 70 characters per SMS (67 per part). The composer lists each of these characters, so you can choose between keeping the accents and saving segments.
