Hi,

I downloaded the latest version of smsclient (2.0.9a) which supports
KPN UCP as well.

All works fine.. it's a great tool! But... what I need is a way to send the
same messages to multiple numbers (approx. 20 - 30) in one batch.

If I specify multiple numbers now, the client will dial in for every number.
The problem is not the costs (although I'm not feeling too comfortable about
it), but the time it needs to reach all recipients. One dial action takes about
40 seconds to complete. So, in the best case for 20 recipients it takes 10
x 40 seconds = 400 seconds to reach them all. The standard KPN SMSC
supports 2 SMS messages to be sent in one session max.

Now, I read that is is possible for KPN to handle batch messages. But how
can I accomplish that with smsclient?

Does anyone know how? And which SMSC number to use?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rob
