Key Takeaways

  • Scenario 1593 is analog meter-face MMS for billing exceptions — not hazmat bags, LOTO, night keys, storm claims, or closeout selfies.
  • A cropped dial and meter id are the payload. Do not MMS the customer’s hallway or kids’ bikes.
  • Read MMS and “we attended” SMS must not share a radio with portal OTP or a “switch plans” blast.
  • Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Free is 1 / 300 / 300. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year.
  • Operator MMS is usually dearer than SMS. Budget estimated-read days separately.
  • REST attachment fields live in Developer Center — not a CodeCanyon AMR add-on.

Summary

Scenario 1593 is field MMS for analog meter faces when AMR failed. The CIS owns the meter id. The Android sends a cropped dial shot so billing can replace an estimate. Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit.

If the only proof of the read is an MMS the APN dropped, you do not have a read. You have another estimate.
