VIEW BAD BATCH DATA
All "Bad" numbers, i.e. landlines or otherwise invalid contact records will appear in Payments > Batch Reports, which you can access later and use to update your contacts. Click on the number inside the Bad Data column to view and export a detailed table of the contacts that did not successfully upload.
