*FEATURES*
- Upload excel into your app
- Insert the Google Sheets link from a public sheet
- Send texts to the telephone numbers in the excel
- Multi/Dual SIM phones send using the default texting SIM in the settings
- Normal texts sent out are plain text
- Texts are charged by the network operator at the normal rate
- Contacts will receive the message as if it is from you. A text message will be saved in the text.

*USAGE*
The excel file should have:
- A header row (the first row is not read)
- two columns: telephone number & message text (any other column is not read)
-The telephone numbers can lack a country code. In which case either your phones dialing-assistant OR your network operator will prefix it before sending. We however advise having a country code e.g. 250788310044.
-In both excel & Google sheets, it is not possible to add a + to a numeral as this is interpreted as a calculation. However, you can put an apostrophe before the numeral to interpret this as a text (This improves the excel experience).

*USE CASES*
- A property manager want to send out bills to residents via text. Using excel functions, they can create texts with custom balances.
- A members association wants to text its members about an upcoming event. Using spreadsheet/excel functions, they can customize each persons name.
- A marketer would like to send out a first promotion text to a group of a maximum of 500 people. The app allows them to send out messages on the company phone without having to store each person as a contact. Avoid registration such as needed with Twilio.

*PRIVACY*
The app does not store any data or transmit any data beyond the texts sent. See our privacy policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_qVuJlk0E0F3ayv74HNUVj4QHjXR1qT6ALzVHEaN6NY/edit?usp=drive_link

*PREMIUM USE*
The first month is free use and is limited to sending only 10 texts per session. Premium use allows you to user the app for a lifetime and replaces the session text-sending limit of 10 texts with 500 texts.

*PREMIUM USE COST*
One-off cost of not more than $5.
Final cost depends on Google Charges based on your location.

*Common failure points during app usage (without app errors)*
-Phone in Airplane mode
-Lack of money for sending texts (network carrier)
-Beyond 30 days after first install, the app will not work without payment
