Ability to collate phone number lists

With the use of email declining, especially among younger age groups, it’s starting to become necessary to think about more effective ways of reaching people . It would be good to be able to collect a list of contacts from my customer list so that I can export them for use in WhatsApp or Messenger.

Erika Lawal found it! :) Your post has me thinking more deeply about SMS messaging now that I see your post refers to Messenger (which is facebook, right?) and also WhatsApp. I had not considered those methods of contact when I posted the feature request asking for SMS message capability. Was thinking mostly send a text to their phone via the native texting (iOS or Android) on their device. Is there a benefit to utilizing WhatsApp or fb Messenger? Creating groups / bulk messaging? Just curious! I'd love to reach a whole class with a text easily, so thanks for posting.

Vibhuti Jaya: Hi, thanks for adding to this. Yes, i’m thinking group messenging.
The chief benefit for me of Messenger/WhatsApp over SMS is that there’s no additional cost (as you know, 3rd party application use of SMS usually involves paid credits). My preference would be WhatsApp, as that seems to be the medium of choice for millennials at the moment😊

Hi Chris,
Probably both, as many clients report not checking their email on a regular basis.

Hi Erika - quick question for you. Are you talking about bulk contacting people, or contacting customers individually?
