Sending SMS to multiple numbers

Hi Team,

I am using PHP SDK to send SMS. When I send to one number it works fine but when I try to send to two numbers I get following error:

Business operation is not supported

I am currently on sandbox environment so not sure if this is environment specific issue.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

Regards,
Numan Ilyas

Only a single SMS recipient is currently allowed. This is shown in the request example below:

For internal company messages sent directly to user extensions, you can use the pager functionality to send to multiple users in a single API call. This is shown in the request example below:

Thanks for the reply John. I hope RingCentral does allow sending to multiple recipients in future.

This limitation is to prevent SMS-SPAM and bulk sending as that is not a supported workflow at this time with our API.

Alright. Our use case don't involve bulk messaging. Sometimes we have to send messages to our subscribers which we can send by staying within the max limit per minute.
Thanks.
