Send your first SMS

Before you start

You can send when three things are ready:

• Your KYC is approved.
• You have credits in your balance (see Buy credits).
• You have a sender: your approved sender ID, or BULK SMS TZ until it is approved.

Send a message

1. 1
   Open Send SMS in the menu.
2. 2
   Under Sender, choose the name your customers will see.
3. 3
   Under Recipients, add phone numbers: Type or paste (like 0712345678 or +255712345678, separated by commas or new lines), pick from your saved Contacts, or Upload file (CSV or Excel).
4. 4
   Write your text in Message. To use each person's name, type {name} where it should appear. It is filled in from your contacts or your file.
5. 5
   Check the counter under the box. It shows how many characters you used and how many credits the whole send will cost.
6. 6
   Press the send button. The page tells you how many messages were accepted.

Good to know

• Sending to more than 10,000 numbers at once takes a little longer. The page tells you it is processing and you can leave it.
• Want the message to go out later? Turn on Schedule for later before you send. See Schedule a message.
• Write numbers as 0712345678 or +255712345678. Spaces around a number are ignored.
