How to export your contacts from SimpleTexting

SimpleTexting earned its name — and the export is as simple as the rest of it. The list your keywords built is yours; here's how to take it with you.

What exports from SimpleTexting

Your subscriber lists export to CSV with phone numbers, names, custom fields, and subscription status. As of August 2026 the export lives in the contacts area; SimpleTexting's help center keeps the current steps. Two things to check:

  1. Unsubscribes come too. The clean file distinguishes active subscribers from people who opted out — carry both, so the opt-outs stay honored from your first send anywhere else.
  2. Export per list if your lists mean something. Lists become tags or segments on the other side; a single merged dump loses that structure.

What happens to your keywords

This is the part people worry about, so here's the straight answer: keywords don't transfer between platforms — they live on a platform's phone numbers. What actually moves is the list each keyword built. You'll publish keywords again on your new numbers (it takes minutes), then update the signs and QR codes once. Text-to-win contest tooling is a genuine SimpleTexting strength that doesn't have a like-for-like equivalent here — if contests are central to your list growth, weigh that before moving.

Importing your list into AutoCampaign.ai

Wherever you land, the import side is the easy half here: upload the CSV or Excel file, map your columns once, and tags and custom fields become attributes you can segment on immediately. Opt-in status is recorded on every imported contact, STOP requests are honored automatically from the first send, and your first campaign shows its estimated cost before you press send.

If you're still deciding where to go, our SimpleTexting comparison is the honest version — including the cases where staying put is the right call. The pricing grid is public, so you can do the math before you create an account.
