Description

Sends an SMS text message, with specified text, to the subscriber associated with the message on the user billing day.

The default source and destination address configured on the MPE device can be used or overridden.

To send notifications to multiple destinations, you can specify dest_address as one or more comma-separated static values, or as one or more comma-separated references to custom fields in the subscriber profile. Destinations must all be of the same type. No transformations are performed on the profile data of the subscriber by the MPE device, so custom fields used as alternate destinations must contain values formatted as required by the SMSC. Multivalued fields (LDAP attributes) are not supported.

If the addresses specified are not available (for example, if a custom field is not populated in the subscriber database), then the global default is used; if the global default is not configured, then the SMS message is sent to the MSISDN for a subscriber; if the MSISDN for the subscriber cannot be determined, then no SMS message is sent and a trace log alert is generated.
