Q: Number Validation/verification
Hey, if I scrap numbers from Google Maps and send them SMS in bulk, will SMST-iT automatically validate and send to correct/valid phone number (the numbers which can receive SMS) or we will be needed a separate SMS number validator first? I am trying to outreach the Leads grabbed from Google.
