Phone Number Readiness

Whether this team can actually use a phone line — including texting.

IT NOW ANSWERS THE REGISTRATION QUESTION TOO, and that is the whole point. Measured in the gym on 2026-08-18: asked to text a customer, the desk called this verb twice, got a green answer, sent the message, and told the owner "All set — I just sent the reminder." The shop was not registered, so US carriers would have dropped it silently. The verb a desk reaches for when it wonders "can we text" said nothing about the one thing that stops texts.

A readiness check that is green while the thing is not ready is worse than no check, because it ends the enquiry.
