It is not possible to import existing lists of numbers. Canadian telecom regulations mandate that for mobile marketing campaigns each number must first opt-in to the campaign by sending an opt-in keyword that defines a campaign to the short code associated with the campaign. For txtr.ca campaigns this means that you first need to create a campaign and create one or more keywords in it. Then, you instruct your audience to send such opt-in keyword to 77777. Once they do so, their numbers will show up in your campaign and you will be able to use these numbers in future mobile marketing campaigns.

Standard messaging rates apply

To opt-out and stop receiving messages from the service send STOP to 77777 from your phone.

Once you have created your account you need to create at least one Campaign (also called Service) and in it at least one keyword. Here is a step-by-step process:

1. Login to your account
2. Go to Campaigns->Mandatory Keywords. This screen specifies the text of messages subscribers to your campaigns will get when they send one of the mandatory keywords (STOP or HELP). In general, your response for a STOP command should be: "Thank you, you have been unsubscribed from the campaign and will no longer receive messages from YOUR_CAMPAIN". For Help, you should indicate where they can receive further information - for example your web site or phone number. "Pizza-Pizza is a mobile marketing campaign that lets you save on your favorite food. Send keyword to 77777 to get discounts. Std rte apply. Call 888pizza12 4 more"
3. Save
4. Now open Campaigns->Manage to enter Service List screen
5. Click on the Create New Service link to create a new service. Click here for more
6. When you created a service, click on the name of the service to define your keywords. More on keywords can be found here.
7. That's it. Your campaign is now ready to go.
