Dear NowSMS support and fellow users, we are using scripts to create .req files in the NowSMS queue folder. This is working fine as long as we just have one phone number. However, we now need to send messages to more than one recipient and added the second number in the PhoneNumber line delimited by a comma. Unfortunately, this is not working. Using a semicolon does not work either. The message is not being sent. Instead, the .req file looks like this: [SMS] Data=This is a test. PhoneNumber=+4917111111111,+4917122222222[ErrorDetail] RetryCount=1 LastRetryTime=20140204134439 LastErrorInfo=ERROR - Modem Response (2): +CMS ERROR: 500 -- GlobeTrotter GI40x - Modem Interface What do I need to change in order to use multiple phone numbers?

Hi Dirk, When you submit messages through the web interface, you will notice that one REQ file is generated per recipient. That is the way it must be done. The actual over the air protocol for SMS is one recipient at a time ... separate messages. MMS is different. (That is why many newer phones automatically use MMS when sending to multiple recipients.) -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Dear Des, thank you very much for your answer. So I will change my script to create multiple .req files. Regards, Dirk | |||
