Written a windows application to read a MySql database table within for loop, I am trying to send SMSs to our members using web API supplied by the service provider.

The program sending the first 2 SMS and also phones are receiving the message. From the 3rd row, I am getting an exception error "System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out at System.Net.WebClient.OpenReead(Uri address) at Ssytem.Net.WebClient.OpenRead(string address) in....."

I am expected to send more than 1000 SMSs.

Please anybody give me a solution for this. Note that the service provider is not in the position to help me.

Regards and advance thanks

Without any details of your code, which service provider you're using, or the API details, I doubt that anyone is going to be able to help.

If they can't help you then you need to build in some delays\retries. So if you get that exception wait maybe three seconds and try again. I suspect this is as issue with the service though so you don't use it to quickly spam loads of numbers.
