Blacklisting Contacts from receiving BULK SMS

Blacklisting contacts on your list ensures that subsequent communications do not land in their inboxes. For example, a school may exclude parents who have paid their ward’s fees from receiving general blasts about fee reminders, without removing them from the contact list.

This is very helpful if you don’t want to keep updating your contact list for each communication.
