Tips for GUARANTEEING that I don't miss any "Touring Plans" texts?

[BJoy82]

I've read through TouringPlan's FAQs and see that their SMS messages come from multiple phone numbers. Is there a list of those numbers anywhere, or should I ask them for a list?

I have an iPhone, and what I have in mind is creating a contact for each such phone number, using the "Emergency Bypass" option (so that I get an audible alert and vibration even if my phone is silent or in "Do Not Disturb" mode), and assigning them a long, loud, and obnoxious ring tone.

Has anyone else had success doing something like this? Do you have any other tips for not missing any middle-of-the-night openings (aside from the obvious of just not sleeping, LOL)?

I did the same for our last trip a few years ago. Obnoxiously loud, distinctive ring that would come through even in middle of the night. You can set up a test with a few restaurants that already have availability and see what numbers they are coming from. When I did it, they were consistently coming from one, so maybe that has changed. And yes it did work!! I was woken up very early one morning by the sound and got a BOG lunch back when that was really hard to do because it was a quick service.
