Changes to Delivery Reporting

Message id’s are now also included in your delivery report file, this change is only really relevant for API users, however if  you send messages over 160 characters you will now see multiple entries per message (as there were more than one SMS needed to deliver the message).

The message id is the unique identifier of the message that has been sent. This means that API users can match up the actual message as many messages to the same mobile could have been sent in that day (as you only have one delivery report file per day).

To match the message id you need to use the XML option as described here

Also be aware that if the message required more than one SMS the message id is comma delimited with all the id’s
