1. Prepare CSV
Before importing CSV file, format CSV file as follows
- Open Excel file, make sure the first column is the mobile number, the second column is Subscriber Full Name, third column Email. Only the first column Mobile number is required.
-
Important! Make sure mobile number is formatted in International format; prefixed with country code "1" for US e.g. 16091234567, "44" for UK e.g 447937947999
-
Save File as Comma Separated file (*.CSV)
Sometimes Excel data is not in the best shape, you may need to move columns around or the first name and last name is in the separate columns and our requirement is to have them in one column, in that case, you need to join two columns.
