This parameter refers to the destination mobile number(s) to which the message is to be sent. It must 
include the country code appended before the mobile number (eg: 9198xxxxxxx, 4478xxxxxxxx, 6591xxxxx).
Any error in this parameter value would lead to non-delivery of the message. The mobile number should 
contain only numbers and no symbols like "+", “-“ etc.
        

    
The msg parameter refers to the actual message that is to be sent to the destination mobile number. The
format of the message differs depending on the type of message being sent.

In case of Unicode messaging, the message can contain only numbers in the form of Unicode
digits.Further,it can have a maximum of 70 characters i.e. 70 x 4 Unicode digits for each
character that means 280 digits.

be a maximum of 140 characters only for each SMS. However,Ring tones,Logos and Pictures that exceed
140 characters can be sent as two / three SMS messages.
