@mahoutukaisali is there is a jira associated with this?

Hi,

I've run through the setup on a test notification.

I added a few unnecessary debug lines into the loop:

        for m in messages:
            logger.error(m.body)
            logger.error(m.from_email)
            logger.error(m.to)
            logger.error(m.subject)
            failed = False
            for dest in m.to:
                try:
                    logger.debug(smart_str(_("FROM: {} / TO: {}").format(m.from_email, dest)))
                    connection.messages.create(to=dest, from_=m.from_email, body=m.subject)
                    sent_messages += 1
                except Exception as e:
                    logger.error(smart_str(_("Exception sending messages: {}").format(e)))
                    failed = True

noting the log output, of a single message with 2 recipients

I successfully received the SMS message on both phone numbers. I would kindly have to refer you back to Twilio, check their logs and error messages. There are a number of cases where the message will be ignored, such as trying to send a message to yourself.

You only need 3 lines of code to test this yourself.

from twilio.rest import Client
connection = Client("sid", "token")
connection.messages.create(to="+3538......", from_="+3538.......", body="test")

Or multiple recipients

from twilio.rest import Client
connection = Client("sid", "token")
connection.messages.create(to=['+3538......', '+353......62'], from_="+3538.......", body="test")

If you can give us more information, maybe we can proceed further, but cannot currently reproduce this problem.
