Contact Meta Data

Creating and sending messages is a key part of our service. We have looked at how people use it and the things that stop them from using it more often.

One of the things we know is that a lot of people do not know what International Number Format is. When you enter a recipient number we look up where we think it is likely to go and display a country flag. If you are only sending to your friends down the street or colleagues in another state then all your recipients are going to get the same flag. However, if you accidentally enter a wrong number this will be obvious so you change it before your message is sent.

As well as the flag, you can click the contact to view or edit the details and can even add new numbers to a Group.

In the example above we can see that the message has been composed for:

• A number in the USA
• A number we think is invalid, so it probably won't be delivered
• A Contact called 'Charlie Chaplin'
• A Group of numbers uploaded in a CSV file 'promo.csv'
• A Group of Contacts called 'Celebrity Christmas Cards'
• A number that has been blocked
