Contact Group List ID's

List IDs are unique numbers assigned to your contact groups that enable phone-based broadcasting. When you want to send a text or voice broadcast from your phone to a specific group, you'll need to know that group's List ID number. This feature works without internet access and provides quick communication for time-sensitive messages.

How do I find my contact group's List ID?

Your List ID appears next to each contact group in your account. Here's how to locate it:

1. Navigate to your Contacts page in your Text-Em-All dashboard
2. In the left sidebar, click on the contact group you want to identify
3. Look for the information icon (looks like an "i") displayed next to the group name
4. The number shown next to this icon is your List ID

How do I change my List ID to a different number?

You can customize your List ID to make it easier to remember when broadcasting from your phone. Follow these steps:

1. Go to your Contacts page
2. Hover your cursor over the contact group you want to modify
3. Click the three-dot menu icon that appears
4. Select Edit info from the dropdown menu
5. In the edit dialog box, enter your preferred List ID number
6. Click Save to confirm your changes

What can I do with List IDs?

Once you know your List IDs, you can use them to launch broadcasts directly from any phone:

• Text broadcasts: Send mass text messages to specific groups without internet access
• Voice broadcasts: Deliver voice messages to entire contact groups from anywhere
• Emergency communications: Quickly reach the right people during urgent situations
• Mobile convenience: Broadcast while traveling or away from your computer
