I think you send sth to an address and you send sth to a group of people/clients. You can also send sth to somebody at an address.

I'd use the other one to send sth at a point of time.

To sum up:
"Confirm that you want this sms to be sent to 10 clients?"
But: "Confirm that you want this sms to be sent at 10 pm?"

Clients are persons. The preposition "to" is used for showing who receives something. We usually use "at" for a place. Sometimes "to" is also used for a location or place. Pease send it at/to my address.

So the first sentence with the use of "to" is grammatically correct.

This is a confusing distinction. When going to or sending something toward a destination, we typically use "to," but when arriving or leaving something at a location we use "at."

We are going to the park We are meeting at the park. Please take this envelope to my office. Please leave this envelope at my office.
