Stop pending or sending bulk SMS

Any pending or sending bulk SMS can be stopped from its page (**Marketing** > **Send Bulk SMS)** within a certain timeframe. This is to help prevent accidental sending of extremely large recipient lists if the total SMS numbers weren’t taken note of prior to sending.
