Importing

Frequently Asked Questions

What will happen if I have two of the same numbers in my group?

The SMSPortal system will never allow you to upload duplicate numbers to the same group.

When I import my data in excel, it takes away the "0", why is this and how can I fix it?

Excel sometimes removes the “0” in front of the number automatically, but this is not a problem. The system will still import the numbers.

Can I import my data with "27" or "0" in front?

Yes, you can import the data with either “27” or “0” in front.

Do you provide us with data or should we supply it?

SMSPortal does not supply data. Users must supply and manage their own data.

I want to import numbers into a group, am I able to check whether or not these numbers appear in another group?

When importing data, you are able to identify duplicate numbers by selecting the groups against which you would like the new data to be checked. Users are able to check all groups or identify selected groups from which duplicates will be removed.
