This article describes examples of how to format phone numbers entered in Google Sheets.
Phone numbers can be entered in a Google sheet in different formats. Common characters (e.g., hyphens, brackets, and spaces) found in phone numbers are automatically removed by Walution add-on before sending messages.
The below examples are accepted for phone numbers in the United States of America:
+15162652941
+1-516-265-2941
(516) 2652941
5162642941
15162642941
When a phone number is entered in a Google sheet without a country code, then the default country code is applied.

Send messages to recipients in other countries
If messages need to be sent to recipients in countries other than the default country, the country code needs to be specified with the phone number. The country code needs to start with an apostrophe and a + sign.
The screenshot below shows two types of phone numbers:
Phone numbers without a country code, which means the default country code applies (in this case the default country is the United States of America).
Phone numbers with country codes for the different countries (e.g., +44 for the United Kingdom).
