Best practice
Tips from the setup
Keep one master list
Update it each term so numbers stay current and duplicates stay low.
Lead with the action
Say what changes and when, in the first line.
Check the price first
The batch quote shows the exact cost before anything is reserved.

Can I send in Luganda or Swahili?
Yes. Characters outside GSM-7 switch the SMS to UCS-2, which fits fewer characters per segment. The quote shows the difference.
Do I need a developer?
No. Upload the CSV in the workspace, review it and send.
