We have a small group of people who have opted-in to receiving text messages from us. This is on another system and I would like to upload it to Constant contact. I don't have their email addresses included and it won't let me upload the list (as I would do it for our email mktg). I don't want them all to have to opt-in again when they've already done it. So what I can I do?

Hello @chc_wellbeing ,

 

SMS contacts must have an email address associated with them to be sent to through our system, regardless of whether you send any emails to them or not.
