Question

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.
