Re: Problem with send several SMSs with kannel

It is recommended to send every SMS individually as if you specify  delivery reports or similar requirements, you need to distinguish every individual SMS from each other. Those things are extremely difficult if you send one message with 1000 destination numbers. Delivery reports will acknowledge "any" message, not a specific one as there's no way to distinguish them from each other as you have only one URL which is always the same one.
