sila,

wat u r suggesting is wat i have been doing for 4 days straight without much success.wen u select the group it accepts,but the save icon doesnt work.so the group remains empty irrespective of the number of names u add to it.

[Edwin Corbett]

to put it more simply, the save icon only works when iam saving new details into contacts. when i add those contacts to a group it doesnt work.here is a screen shot. i have saved new contact,then added them to a group(drop down disappeared) but now i cant save.hope this screen shot makes it clear for u.

[Edwin Corbett]

sorry here it is!

[Edwin Corbett]

it was VERY helpful, as iam finally able to work. lastly can i import from excel into my contacts?

[Joy Kendi]

I'm glad that helped! Please let me know which browser you were using before so that we can check on fixing this issue if it is still occurring.

You can import contacts from excel if they are saved as CSV files.
To do this, go to settings, general and click on contact details, and choose the file you want to import.

Using Windows 7 OS, Mozilla Firefox 13.0.1, FrontlineSMS 2.0.3

Is it possible that while a message with multiple recipients is still being sent, the number of messages already sent and the number of failed messages are displayed?
