SMS Notifications
What the customer receives when a sandbox transaction succeeds.
Overview
On successful completion of a sandbox transaction, an SMS is sent to the customer number in the request. No SMS is sent when a transaction fails, and none is sent for Transaction Lookup.
Each service uses the wording a customer would normally receive, wrapped in a sandbox prefix and suffix. The message reaches a real handset, so both are fixed and appear on every sandbox message.

Delivery
The message body follows the real EcoCash wording for each service, minus the closing balance, since the sandbox does not hold a customer balance.
Delivery uses EcoCash's existing SMS gateway, and the number must be whitelisted first.
