What should the program do if the contact has more than one number defined?

For messages longer than 160 chars, I'll check (honestly I never tried to send long messages with it).
Thanks for the feedback.

EDIT: I submitted now version 0.1.7 fixing the > 160 characters bug.
I understand what you are implying - regd. contacts/CLI.
My main reason for getting this implemented is that it can be a great tool to group sms in an efficient way.

Probably, if there is more than one cell number associated with a contact, smssend can complain it is inappropriate to use it with contacts more than one cell number and exit over CLI?

If this can be done, we can also link it to be used with Nickname? by doing this we can sms to an entire group with same nick name right?

Or can the smssend have an option such that the contact numbers can be selected via GUI and not over CLI? (just like -c to type text over GUI?)

By the way, thanks heaps for getting the multiple sms thing fixed. I will update/check/ get back to you on that.

Thanks, nAni.
