It must have exactly 2 columns where the first column defines the recipient's number along with the country code and the second column the message content. Please make sure that the file does not contain more than 1,000 lines and is without a header. Download a sample file

Then all you have to do is specify the separator of the columns in your file (the most used characters are ; or,) and specify exactly when you want your bulk SMS messages to be sent.

You'll be able to visually monitor all of this in our clear user interface
