Note: You will need to use Internet Explorer to download the application.
B. Buying Credits
Purchasing credits will still be the same process used with Web2SMS-Pro. Since the username and password are the same for both applications, sms credits will be the same as well. All purchases are made either online or through any of our corresponding banks.
C. Uploading Contacts to your Address Book
In order to upload contacts into your address book, please click on the "Upload Address Book" button.
In order to upload text files please ensure you have the correct fields in the right column. The only mandatory field for a successful upload is GSM number.
To include names in the address book, simply seperate the numbers and names by comma.

E. Sending Multiple SMS
