This time, we're pleased to announce our latest release: the phone number formatter

Issues when sending SMS from the web

The world of the internet and the web is globally oriented. Therefore, SMS sent from the web must have world standard phone number notation. This phone number display format is called E.164 There are unusual rules, such as adding the unnecessary country code and the leading symbol + (plus) when writing this as a "phone number" in Japan. It's a hassle to remember, but you can't send your messages unless the phone number is written in this notation.

Of course, it is possible to remember the rules of the E.164 format and revise the phone number list that you have manually, but it takes a lot of time to go through each phone number and modify it to the standard notation. (Besides, not everyone is good with using spreadsheets!)

Most of the content which we sent by SMS, such as marketing messages and emergency broadcasts are of high importance and urgency. You want to send them as fast as possible so that the recipient can also read them as fast as possible.

EZSMS supports non-engineers

EZSMS has a sister service, Xoxzo. Xoxzo offers a telephony API, which is useful for engineers developing web services and apps.

However, EZSMS is a service that even non-engineers who do not know coding or programming can easily use from a web browser. Simply registeer and you can start sending immediately. So, we developed a tool that can automatically revise any number in your phone number list to the E.164 format. Even if you don't understand the rules of E.164, or if you can't revise the list using spreadsheets, there is no problem! Please leave it to EZSMS.

How to use the Phone Number Formatter

How to use the automatic number correction tool it's very easy!
If the recipient field contains an invalid phone number that needs to be corrected, the Send from the web will still show up when you try to send the message. For details, see the next section.

The Phone Number Formatter displays a correction sample of the entered number. Numbers in an invalid format that couldn't be modified are excluded from the list. The result of automatic correction will be displayed for all numbers, so that you can look through the revisions before you agree to send your message. *Please not that CSV sending is currently not supported.
