Hi. I've tried the method mentioned in thread http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/842.html to send the same MMS to more than one recipient, but only receive the message the last number in the list.

The method used is MM7, and this is an extract of the raw code:

<Recipients>
<Bcc>
<Number>+3464620****</Number>
<Number>+3467865****</Number>
<Number>+3466779****</Number>
</Bcc>
</Recipients>

(* it's a number, for security :-) )

What is the solution? Am I forgetting a property in the SOAP code or something like this?

Thank you!

Hi Sergio,

The technique that you describe is valid.

Are you using NowSMS? (This is the support forum for the Now SMS/MMS product.)

NowSMS would certainly support an MM7 submission with that format.

If you are using NowSMS to transmit out via MM7, it is certainly possible that the server that you are connecting to does not support a single message to multiple recipients. When this is the case, the server is supposed to reject the message and return an error code of 3003 to indicate that multiple recipients are not supported. When NowSMS sees error code 3003, it reconfigures the properties for its MM7 connection to submit messages one recipient at a time. You can force the one recipient at a time behaviour in NowSMS by editing VASPOUT\accountname\VASP.INI, and under the [VASP] header, add MaxRecips=1. ("accountname" is the name given to the MM7 connection under the "MMSC Routing" definition.)

If this does not address your question ... and your question is somehow related to the NowSMS product ... then I need more details on your configuration in order to answer your question.
