The short answer
No. Headers are optional. The importer finds the column holding phone numbers, normalises them and drops anything that cannot be a real number.

Why schools and universities ask this
Parents and students need the same notice at the same moment. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when closures, exam notices and enrolment reminders stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is one message instead of a phone tree. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.

FAQ
Does my file need headers?
No. Headers are optional. The importer finds the column holding phone numbers, normalises them and drops anything that cannot be a real number.
Is this different for schools and universities?
The mechanics are the same. What changes is the volume and the timing, because schools and universities mostly send closures, exam notices and enrolment reminders.
