messages, a header is added to each part to combine the parts into a single message on the recipient's phone, and the maximum length becomes

- when op = 1 and fmt = 0 or 1, the information is added to the end of the normal output from a new line:
<phone>,<mccmnc>,<cost>,<status>,<error>
- when op = 1 and fmt = 2, an array is added to the response:
<phones>

<balance> – new Customer Balance.
<phone> – phone number.
<mccmnc> – the numeric code of the subscriber's country plus the numeric code of the subscriber's operator.
<cost> – the cost of an SMS message.
<status> – sMS Message status code.
<error> – error code in the status.
The server does not accept more than one identical request to send SMS messages within a minute to protect against errors and loops in the Client-side program in order to reduce the load and not waste the Client's funds, as well as to prevent multiple messages from being sent to one subscriber.
The server also blocks sending more than 50 messages to one subscriber, which were sent with a break
between messages of less than 60 seconds, to protect against flooding and unnecessary debiting of funds from the Client's account,
since many operators do not pass a large number of messages to one subscriber in a short period of time.
