Key Takeaways

  • Scenario 360 is an immigration / visa biometrics desk: booked-slot check-in OTP. Walk-in passport photos sit behind that queue — not a garage hoist or a court docket.
  • If the bio OTP stalls, a photo booth does not jump the lane. Priority is the listed slot.
  • Do not SMS the passport number or the visa class. Time, door, and how to cancel.
  • 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 360 is a VAC / biometrics hall. Booked applicants get an 08:00 gate OTP. The same counter sells walk-in photos. Those are different queues. Hearing OTPs are the wrong list.

Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. OTP queues · Developer Center. GSMA.

Biometrics OTP fills first. The photo lane stays thin until the slot is confirmed.

Bio OTP, not a booth

Map OTP to the slot id. Expire it when they are called or the slot is forfeited. Do not reuse digits for a later photo.

If the photo code arrives before the slot code, you trained the queue to ignore the booth clock.
