Import your mobile contact database in Netsize mMarketing
A good database of contacts is key for many mobile messaging applications. Whether used for sending individual messages or large mobile campaigns, the database is the basis for your recipients lists and targeted, personalized messages.
The contact import wizard of Netsize mMarketing allows you to setup your database in a breeze.
To import large numbers of contacts, use Import contacts in the left navigation menu (1). Select a text file that contains the contacts’ names and mobile phone numbers (2). The values should be separated by a comma or another delimiter that you specify. Click Next (3).
