Alphabet
Which alphabet do messages to Spain use?
Most people in Spain read Spanish. Plain text fits 160 characters per SMS in GSM-7, but á, í, ó and ú 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.

Spain covers more than one time zone, from UTC+0 around Canary to UTC+1 around Madrid in January. In Madrid, 10:00 local time is 09:00 UTC in January.
