Hello,

If you are using Gnokii or a similar software to send SMS messages with a serial GSM modem, you can send the same message to multiple users by specifying multiple recipients in the command line or configuration file.

For example, if you are using Gnokii, you can use the "--sendsms" command with the "-r" option to specify the recipient phone numbers separated by commas. Here's an example command:

gnokii --sendsms -r "+1234567890,+0987654321" -m "Hello from Gnokii!"

This command will send the message "Hello from Gnokii!" to the phone numbers +1234567890 and +0987654321.

Alternatively, you can specify the recipient phone numbers in a configuration file, such as gnokiirc, and use the "--config" option to specify the path to the configuration file.

It's important to note that sending SMS messages to multiple recipients at the same time may increase the load on the serial GSM modem and may result in slower message delivery or other issues. It's recommended to test the software and modem thoroughly before sending messages to a large number of recipients.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your SMS sending!
