Importing phone numbers

Lost the zero on the front of each phone number

Don't worry.  This happens when you save a phone number without any spaces in it in Excel.  Excel thinks it's a number, and strips the front zero off the phone number.

We know all about this problem, and have coded a solution during import to add the zeros back in.  So if your spreadsheet is missing them, you don't need to manually fix them.

Can I have spaces in phone numbers?

Yes, these are fine.  If you use the text messaging facility, WebCollect will strip out the spaces before sending.

How do I store international numbers?

If you are not using the text messaging facility, you can store them any way you like.  If you are using text messaging, then you can use + or 00 to designate the number as international, plus the country code.

Note:  For non-UK organisations, the text messaging facility is not yet available.
