Grouping refers to merging of same type of data into single place. In our case it refers to merging same type of records in to one.
What are the advantages of Grouping?
1) Lowers the SMS cost to sender.
2) Avoids unnecessary repetition of data.
3) Makes SMS reading simple, easier & comfortable for the receiver.
Problem: I want to send SMS to all my clients listed above.
Using normal procedure I will be charged for 11 SMS for sending message even to repeated clients. Instead I need a solution with which I can send all corresponding data to its client in a single SMS. This will help me in:
1) Saving SMS cost as it would charge me only 3 SMS or 6 SMS for long message instead of 11.
2) Also it would be easier for my client to read all his data in a single message instead of opening separate messages.
Lets see how we will implement this ?????????????????
Solution : Grouping
STEPS TO SEND GROUP SMS :-
step 1: Sort your data according to client id (column F) or mobile number (column G)
Step 2 : Enter Message-> row range,->select mobile number column,->Advance Option & Preview check box ->select Unique Column(Group by column) with which you want to Group, Enter Header Text & Footer Text which you don’t want to repeat and Click on Send.
You will be prompted if your message has characters > 160.
Click “OK” to continue sending long SMS.
A Preview dialog will be displayed with customized SMS text. Here it shows 3 SMS will be pushed with each SMS more than 160 characters in length. So total 6 SMS cost will be charged.
You can view each SMS details by using “Next SMS >>”
and “<< Previous SMS” buttons.
Click On “Send SMS” shall directly proceed to sending SMS.
On successful sending of SMS, you will see an SMS Sent Confirmation dialog.
THE END.
