Why utility providers ask this
Outages generate a call centre queue within minutes. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when outage notices, restoration updates and meter reminders stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is calls avoided by telling people first. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
