```

## Variables explained

| Variable | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `[Entity]` | Authority or company name matching the sender ID | CityPower |

## Category and compliance notes

Transactional SMS: it must relate to something the customer did or owns. Keep it free of offers and promotional links, or operators may filter it as promotional traffic and apply quiet hours.

```

```

[Entity]: Happy UAE National Day! Centres closed [Date]-[Date]. Pay bills and track requests anytime in our app: [Link]
```

## How to use this template

1. **Copy the text:** Copy the message and keep the brand name at the start so the recipient knows who is writing.
2. **Replace the placeholders:** Map each [Placeholder] to a field in your contact list or system, keeping the message short.
3. **Check length and encoding:** Paste the final text into the SMS counter to see the segments you will pay for.
4. **Send from a registered sender ID:** Use a sender ID registered for this traffic type in each destination country.
