You can import mobile numbers from an excel sheet (.xls , .xlsx), along with names etc. You can also enter your numbers individually. We have a Quick Import feature whereby you can simply cut & paste mobile numbers only.
This is because Excel thinks your mobile number is a long number so has converted it. To change these to your mobile numbers highlight the whole column, right click, choose Format Cells, click on Number in the Category and change the amount of Decimal places to Zero and then OK.
It may be that your excel sheet is in the incorrect format. To view the correct format, visit the ‘Import Mobile Numbers’ page within your account. Alternatively contact Sendmode and we will assist you or you can send your spreadsheet to us and we can upload it for you.
