Send Bulk SMS with Excel / CSV

Sending Bulk SMS with Excel / CSV

iSMS supports sending bulk SMS directly from an Excel file by converting it to CSV (Comma Separated Values) format first. There are two methods: importing contacts to your address book, or sending directly with a CSV file.

Step 1 — Convert Excel to CSV

1. Open your Excel file and organise your contact data (phone number, name, etc.) in columns — no header row labels needed.
2. Go to File → Save As and select CSV (Comma delimited) (.csv) as the file type.
3. Click Save. Your CSV file is ready.
