5. Click Save, and you will be given a short code number that you can use to message to the distribution list. Then, the next time you want text that group, just enter the short code in the To field of the text message.
TIP: you can add a new contact to your phone to represent a distribution list and enter the distribution list short code as their phone number to easily send messages to the list in the future.

A network component will block messages which contain specific criteria, unique to spam messages. As well, subscribers may also choose to personalize the behaviour of their service by populating their "allow" and "deny" lists. E-mail originating from addresses in the "deny" list will never reach the phone. E-mail originating from addresses in the "allow" list will always reach the phone, whether the service believes the messages to be spam or not.
