When I went to restart it... it did not pick up where it left off. It started the entire list all over again. In the same order. The other odd thing was that the list was just random order. It did not work its way down in alphabetical order. But the biggest issue I have it that it wont send to entire list automatically. Making me do it one by one. Which defeats the purpose.

Great video that was well put together. I have a data set of over 2400 numbers and counting to be sending messages to. I have them segmented into groups of 100 contacts at a time, all with a different note in it. The issue i was running into was multiple texts being sent to one person. as well as an iMessage fail when they have an android. It will fail to send as a text unless i manually send it out. any suggestions for those issues? i switched the note to their department name... (more stable than a note??? might alleviate this issue we will see) Texts are being sent properly after first message is sent but this is still annoying, maybe a phone setting or a rendering issue with phone number in iMessage...? last issue not having to manually send a photo... i have spammed my friend with 50 pictures trying to get this done and it is not working.
