Key Takeaways
- Scenario 220 is an away-fixture cancel or pitch flood at 14:20: PE office SIM dies under the parent spike — a spare already paired takes the rest. Not exam-hall moves, PTC, or late-bus.
- Parents who get silence will idle at the gate with kit bags. The product is the second radio.
- Do not SMS player names or the coach’s mobile in message 1. Sport, cancel, and pickup rule.
- Staff portal OTP stays on another device.
- 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.
Android SMS gateway scenario 220 is a PE office when the away pitch floods at 13:50. The bus is cancelled. Parents need one text before pickup. Hall changes and club leaks are the wrong list.

Fixture off, not a hall
Split squads across two device ids before send. Fail closed if both SIMs reject.
If you find the spare in a kit bag after the first two teams fail, you ran a car-park argument, not a cancel.

Fixture SIMs
Log campaign id + device id, not the squad in chat. Rotate keys. Not a CodeCanyon fixtures pack.
Two SIMs or a tannoy
If you will not keep a hot spare on wet fixture days, do not promise SMS cancels.
