1-I sent him a few messages on different occasions.

Does this imply that on each of those occasions I sent him a few messages?


2-I sent him messages on a few occasions.


Could one use this sentence if on all of those occasions only one message was sent?
How about if on some of those occasions one message was sent?


3-I sent him a message on a few occasions.


Does this imply that on all those occasions I sent him the same message?

Gratefully,
Navi.
