Multiple smartphones (centrals) using advertising data

Hi,

I want to send data from one peripheral(nRF51 DK) to multiple Android Phones. This will be a one way connection from the peripheral to the smartphones. I red on the forum that no multiple central connections are possible so therefore I wondered if it would be a good idea to send the data using the 'custom manufacture data' in the advertising.

This way multiple phones can receive the data if within the advertising range. Am I forgetting about something? How many packets will be lost? I know this will not have some kind of handshaking for redundancy but maybe this can be build in into the manufacture data using CRC or something simular?

Or are there other ways to send data to multiple smartphone centrals?
