I send mms via MM1 with nokia6600 as gprs modem. I want to send the mms once and five mobile phone can receive mms at the same time,so i create a header file with multiple headers and use mmscomp create mms file, the mms file size about 1kb.
After I submit it via web menu , i monitor the gprs flux on nokia6600, it take about 7kb gprs flux. and I see the ini file in VASPQ,in [Recipients] section have 5 Recipients. So nowsms send the same mms five times , but i want to send mms once and five mobilephone can receive same time . Can you help me?
When we use mobilephone to send mms directly , we can select multiple recipients and send mms only once,so many recipients can receive mms same time , Does nowsms support the feature ? if nowsms support , when I use php or web menu to send mms , how to do? Nead Help.
I test the funtion on nowsms5.51 and it can do what i want. When i do samething on nowsms5.0, it semm to send mms one by one, but i have only nowsms5.0 , how can i do ?

The original question was answered in a duplicate posting:

For the follow-on questions from Jamal:

Yes, but your service provider will charge you for each recipient as a separate message. (It will actually be sent out as separate messages.)

If you want to send a message to multiple recipients via NowSMS, then separate the phone numbers with a comma (,) when entering them into the phone number parameter.

If you are sending via a GSM modem, no ... that is a technical limitation of sending messages via a GSM modem.

Otherwise, you can if your service provider allows you to. When submitting to NowSMS, you can override the sender phone number by including "&Sender=xxxxx" in your URL request.
