Decides what counts as a local number. With Australia selected, 0412 345 678 becomes +61412345678.
How the phone number formatter works
1
Pick your base country
Australia by default. This is what tells the tool that an 04 number belongs to +61 and not somewhere else.
2
Paste or drop your file
The tool finds the number column for you, and you can change it if it picks the wrong one.
3
Download and send
Only the numbers change. Your headers, names and merge fields come back untouched and ready for a campaign.
What it fixes
- Local numbers converted to international format using your base country
- Missing leading zeros and numbers mangled into scientific notation by Excel
- Spaces, brackets, dashes, dots and stray text stripped out
- Duplicates caught after conversion, so +61412345678 and 0412345678 match
What it flags
- Landlines and service numbers that can't receive an SMS
- Numbers with too many or too few digits for the country
- Values that aren't a phone number at all
- Flagged rows stay in your file unless you choose to remove them
