Key Takeaways
- Scenario 1056 is massage-therapist session door OTP — not salon, calendar deposits, waitlists, studio door-codes, telehealth, vet, garage, driving, notary, implant, visa, physio, optician, tattoo, barber, pilates, or nail chair.
- Session OTP is P0. Room-ready is P1. Retail merch waits.
- Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Free is 300 SMS lifetime, 1 device. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year.
- Starter is 2 devices; the studio spare still counts.
- A cancelled session at 11:05 must kill the 11:20 OTP still queued.
- Pin OTP deviceIds. Newsletter never shares the session radio.
Summary
Scenario 1056 is the massage door. Session OTP first, room-ready second, merch held until the last room sits.Service pricing is based on device count and total SMS sent through the gateway. You need a working Android phone with a SIM and SMS credit from your mobile operator. Operator message costs are yours—we do not sell carrier SMS balance.
If the sale CSV left at 11:00 and the client is still at the door, you did not start a session. You advertised.
Not a CodeCanyon “studio SMS” pack. Device meters apply — Twilio vs Android SMS gateway.

Context
Saturday sessions stack at 11:00. Clients reply from the pavement. Retail still wants an oil CSV.
Free (300 SMS lifetime) is a rehearsal studio. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year.
Core scenario guidance
Session OTP is P0. Cancelled slots kill queued codes. Timezone is the studio city.
Session OTP roles
| Role | When | Typical fail |
|---|---|---|
| Session OTP (P0) | Client at the door | Queued behind Saturday sale |
| Room-ready (P1) | Therapist seated | Sent after the slot was cancelled |
| Retail merch | Held until last session seated | Released at 11:00 into OTP |
| Portal login OTP | Own pool, always | Dumped onto the session SIM |
Cost and ownership
Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. The studio spare is a billed device. Codes burn airtime.
Name a Saturday 10:00–16:00 on-call, not only weekday reception.
Operations
10:50 canary both radios. Abort: hold merch, keep portal OTP, skip queued session if cancelled. Do not “resend all rooms.”
Security and compliance
Short codes only. No treatment notes plus full name in one SMS. Authenticate booking hooks. Merch is promotional.
Decision guide
Ship when 10:50 canary is green and cancelled slots kill OTP. Delay if phones lock Friday night. If handsets are forbidden, CPaaS for session OTP.
Checklist
- Primary + studio spare paired.
- 10:50 canary.
- Cancel kills queued OTP.
- Session isolated from merch.
- Portal OTP own pool.
- Airtime before Saturday.
- Battery exemptions both OEMs.
- Studio-city locale.
- Session on-call named.
- Device cap includes spare.
Next steps

Deep dive: production hardening
Saturday cleaner pulling USB at 10:20 is an outage at 11:00. Watch DLR, not booking 200s.
Deep dive: scaling and failure modes
Multi-room Saturdays add devices before inventing a hidden unlimited-handset SKU. Raise OEM ceilings; fair-use remains.
Deep dive: integration discipline
Idempotency on booking_id + kind (session|ready). MCP is a REST wrapper — live fields in Developer Center.
Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit.
10:50 session drill
Canary both radios. Cancel a dummy slot; confirm OTP dies. Hold merch during the wave.
