Extract Phone Numbers from File Feature - Why Important?

Use Case 1

In an office setting, information and documentation are often done with the use of digital files.

These files are available in many formats and can easily be shared among employees in the organization.

Now, imagine you have been tasked with the responsibility of sending bulk SMS to the list in your company’s customer management system data.

This list contains the phone number of all your customers numbering into hundreds or possibly thousands.

How do you go about this?

You have the option of copying each phone number from individual columns one at a time, which works.

Alternatively, you have the option of uploading the entire file in the software, and click a button to extract all the numbers at once.

Which one are you likely to go for?

We are sure you will give us no prizes for taking a guess; the easier method wins.

That is what the phone number extractor for the file does for you.

All you need to do is upload the file containing the phone number, and extract them all at once with one click.

Use Case 2

You have an occasion coming up, probably a wedding celebration.

Or you know of someone who does and you have been tasked with the responsibility of sending the wedding invite via SMS.

The phone numbers you want to send SMS to are saved on a phone.

They might be a lot of numbers and writing them out one at a time can be very time-consuming and energy-draining.

How do you go about this?

You can simply export the phone numbers on your contact list as a file on your phone.

Then come on the phone number extractor tool to upload the exported file and extract the numbers.

This would save you a whole lot of time and allow you to send SMS to those numbers, no matter how many they are, with ease.
