Key Takeaways

  • Scenario 203 is compost-share / finished-bin pickup lists — not timebank hours, community-fridge holds, seed-library packets, record-fair crates, makerspace lasers, bike co-op bays, coworking hot desks, photo-studio sets, dark-kitchen bays, B2B RFQ samples, event wristbands, marina slips, P2P parking, tool rentals, storage-auction units, vehicle cash holds, lost-found lockers, charity vans, will-call merch, consignment, booth maps, wholesale pallets, RMA bays, meetup pins, escrow, age-gates, or seller KYC.
  • “Bin BIN-3, bay A, 09:00 pickup” is transactional. “Join the compost mailing” is marketing. Split SIMs.
  • Free caps contacts at 300. Do not keep every closed hold in the gateway book.
  • Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Developer is 25,000 SMS per year.
  • Staff console OTP stays on its own phone. A Saturday open will starve it if shared.
  • REST list/send fields live in Developer Center — not a CodeCanyon compost plugin. MCP, if you use it, is only a REST wrapper.

Summary

Scenario 203 is marketplace contact lists for compost-share finished bins. The yard owns the bay. The Android texts the member a bin and a clock. Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit.

If you reuse last week’s “open bins” dump, you will text people whose pile already left — and they will treat BIN as spam.

BIN is not STOP

BIN / LATE / DONE belong on the steward Android. STOP on a “join mailing” blast must not mute a live hold. Auto-reply and STOP · two-way.

Cost

Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Free: 1 device, 300 SMS lifetime, 300 contacts. Developer: 25,000 SMS per year. Paid plans uncap platform volume; devices still meter. Pricing.

Ops

Charge the steward radio at the yard. Doze · setup. Purge closed holds after close.

Security

A paid hold is not mailing-list consent. Trust Center · OTP.

Checklist

  • This-date paid-hold filter only.
  • Role-specific BIN templates.
  • OTP isolated.
  • STOP scopes documented.
  • Airtime for Saturday open.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers about laravel sms gateway scenario 203.

Can we SMS the same BIN pin to member and steward from one list?

Send role-specific templates. A shared bay pin on a group list is how a third person takes the bin.

Does importing a compost list include SMS credit?

No. You bring phones and operator airtime. We meter devices and platform send volume.

Is Free enough for a Saturday open?

Free is 300 SMS lifetime on 1 device. Prove one bin, then use a paid device/volume plan.
