Safaricom IPN is way better than the Sim Based, its more leliable and easier to intergrate, yes the messages are repeated and this is because the service keeps checking if the receiving server is live for a period of i think 24 hrs, its up to you to set up a primary key on ur db to check and stop repetition..

The IPN API is not without it challenges and reliability issues.
i.e. I have seen the same IPN message being repeated, messages being truncated most likely due to it originating from a system working with a SMS char-limit.
But I agree it is probably the best options at the moment.

To answer the original question: No a paybill number is not associated with a SIM.

n.b. maybe you can find some useful code in PesaPi you can use for your integration.

Hi good people.

For those that have done MPesa paybill integration, help with this one:

what are the options provided by QB to the recipients... API integration? A SIM associated with Paybill No?
