Does stylist send messages to clients using the phone number in their account or do I have to enter them in manually when send a txt sms to a gallery list?

For it to send a text to the phone number in their account, they would have had to explicitly check the option to give permission to receive text messages.  Otherwise you will have to type it in.

In the SMS settings:: 

Asking for consent
When someone is creating an account or updating their phone number they will be asked for consent to send them text messages if text messaging is enabled above. Below is the message displayed to them about that.

The option to ask or require a phone number is in Settings -> Account Requirements

There was a check in a previous version not to send an email to the same email address again within 2 hours, but there is someone who apparently like to send multiple emails one after another so I removed that and is not in the current version. 

If you go to Settings -> SMS and Sent Messages, it will show if it was sent or not and if not details in the information icon.

If you are resending an email from Stats -< Email Logs, it directly sends and does not go into the automated messages.
