Key Takeaways
- A pre-launch checklist for the Android SMS gateway app is go/no-go: pairing, Doze, airtime, OTP isolation, spare, canary.
- Green control-plane UI is not enough. Prove DLR on staff numbers.
- Official APK from Downloads — not a random marketplace build.
- You bring the phone and operator credit. Platform pricing is devices plus send volume.
- Confirm live API fields in Developer Center before cutover.

Gates before customer traffic
Assign an owner per gate. Prefer canaries over big-bang. OTP.
If nobody owns SIM top-ups on launch day, you do not have a checklist — you have a hope that prepaid survives the spike.
