Can anyone tell me how to send a text message to a group of people. I have contacts that are assigned to a similar category. I would like to be able to seen everyone in a picked category a single text message and everyone get it. How do I do this on the Fuze?
GroupSMS does this nicely.

You can also look at trinket software they have an application called power sms...it cost but well worth it...they also have a trial version.
easy and free.
open up blank text. Hit menu, then Add Recipient, repeat

Though I do wish there was a way to select multiple people at a time instead of selecting them one by one.
Also, since this topic is somewhat relevant, anyone try to send a group message, but then not all the recipients receive the texts at the same time? Some recipients received the text a few hours later, or some the day after..
The delay could be caused by the different carriers your friends are on.

I was gonna say that as well, but the original post mentioned that the contacts were arranged in categories and they would like to send messages based on that.
But yeah, your right, easy and free.

Is there a SW available on the XDA II that allows me to send a SMS msg to a group? I used to be available to do it on my ipaq using simple SMS.
I select category say "personal" from my contacts and viola, the msg will be sent.
AFAIK you can either select multiple recipients from you contacts list or you could set up a contact named "my-group" or so and put all the phone numbers in the mobile field, seperated by semicolons. It works here, but I have not yet tried more than a dozen at once.

How did you do it Martin? I created a new contact and put multiple of mobile phone numbers saparated by semicolons, but the semicolons don't appear on the SMS program. In other words, the SMS program removes all semicolons and appends all the numbers.
tried this, but when i send a message I get the error:
"You cannot send this message as both an SMS and an e-mail message. Please remove either the SMS or the e-mail address and send again"
Needless to say, I created a new contact with two telephone numbers in the mobile phone section seperated with one ;

hi guys
i tried to do this as well but it didnt work i had a nokia comunicator and i was able to do this with no problems.
regards kevin b :lol:
Thanks guys for the replies. I guess I have to live with sending SMS messages manually
It is really strange that an expensive pda+phone with a powerful operating system doesn't have this simple functionality.
I might sound strange, but this function is very important to me coz I send an average of 8 SMS messages to a group of people on daily basis.
I miss my T610
gropu sms
i agree kufi these phones arent cheap.
when i do into my sms box and say new i can add more contacts and seperate them with ; without any problem
havent tried sending it though so i'm not sure if it would fail but i can add more then one contact thats for sure
Yes this is how I do it too; the manual way which is time consuming and annoying. The optimal way is to assign a group of contacts under one name, but as you can see, it is not possible.
Hoping an application will be avaialable soon, coz this is driving me crazy.
group sms
I got this software, I think it works great. you have to first creat a group list, when saving the number, you have to save it in the group. I don't have any link for it, but its group sms ver1.1 by shailesh ashar, google it, or find the cab laying around here. hope it helped.

i am using O2 XDA Flame model, i need to know if there is any application for forwarding sms from inbox to group contacts by selecting the group name. i have used software for sending new sms to group contacts but have not seen any application helping to forward inbox sms to group contacts... hope i have clearly mentioned my query.
thank you.
If you are sending the same group of people text messages I send the message in the normal way - this requires you adding each of the recipients one at a time.
When you are finished and you send the mail - go back into your messages and select the 'sent' option form the drop down. You can now highlight the recipients and use the 'copy' option.
Then, go to the 'NOTES' section of your XDA and paste in the list and save it using whatever title you want.
Every time you want to send a message to these recipients, open your 'NOTES' and copy/paste the list into your message - it is not perfect...but it does work and does save time.
I have only just joined the forum. Anyone still having problems sending texts to multiple contacts on you htc tp2 try this I think it may help you.
Create a new contact any name and type the contacts numbers in as laid out below.
12345678999>; <12345678999>; <12345678999>; and so on. You need six spaces between each number, no left side arrow in front of the first number as the phone puts that in by default and no right side arrow after the last number. I have tried it with upto ten numbers no probs it might work with more.
Also if if one of the contacts in your group sent you the original message you wont wanna send it back to him so if you hit menu then hit check names hey presto it will put all the contact names in relevant to the numbers, touch on the one you want to delete and then hit your back space key and its gone. Good luck.

can this forum develop such kind of software.
i have wm6.1 ppc
can anyone tell me abt it
No i have not heard of anything like that.... you could copy paste in threaded sms view (all into one sms) that may or not be a quicker may to do it.....
you want to send 10 different sms's to the same person at the same time?
why not send one after the other? or just... write a long one.. usually the provider divides the messages according to the agreed length.

dude that i know but lot of friend ask to send suppose i have 10-15 okes/greeting sms to their phone & then i have to again & again forward it -a kind of headache
I'm very sorry but I can't seem to understand what you want.
to send multiple SMS's you can just creates Drafts of the messages you'd like to send and send it again and again to the same person. you can do the same thing for the same message or for different messages.

Second day with the new touch pro, lovin it. Theres a few things that are bugging me, though. When I send a text, it places a copy in my Inbox like: Me: Message
It clutters up my inbox a ton, but is it necessary for threaded messaging to work?
Also, if I go to hit the compose button on TF3D, and rotate the screen before the actual text box comes up (5 seconds later) then the ****ty 8 button landscape view will come up and screw up my message. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks guys
Joe
Just wanna know if everyone deals with this.
Everyone have their sent SMS's in their inbox?

you can change threaded mode to normal.then you have recieved messages in your inbox and sent in sent items.but i think you know this already.if you want to use threaded mode this is something you heve to live with
or check out this software http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html .it is not free but could help you keep threaded mode.try trial first and see if you like it.
I need to send batch texts occasionally/frequently. I run a business which most people send me a text to set up an appointment. By the nature of the business, most are not return customers, I fix a problem that they have and they hope to never have to use my services again and so I don't save them to my contacts. I do however like to send a follow up type message a few days later.
Currently I use Handcent SMS. I have the follow up text saved as a quick text and I go through and search all of the people that I have done business with during the week. I then one by one send them the text. This can take a while since I may need to send the message to 30 or more people. I want to be able to search all of my texts and just check box the ones that I want to send the message to and then select the quick text and send it.
Batch mode with handcent currently is just really batch delete mode. There are a few multi-text programs out there that can send one text to a group or you can select from your contacts, but none that I have found that you can look at your inbox and just check box the ones you want to reply to.
Wow. Crickets. That all I can hear.
Is there really nothing that can do what I need?
Two questions really.
If I knew where to get a manual (can't find one anywhere) I'd not need to ask the first question:
OK, I've received an SMS which I want to forward to someone that isn't in my phonebook. I can hold-press the message and select 'forward', but instead of being able to put the number in to send it to, Hangouts pops up (which is the ****tiest text app I've ever seen, btw) and makes me select a contact. Because there is no contact for this number, I tried creating a new one (although I don't want a contact for this number) but when I put the number in, it won't let me save it; I've tried pressing enter but nothing happens. This is the single most frustrating thing I've found with KitKat so far.
In fact, I have another question:
Can anyone recommend a decent SMS app? Really, hangouts is truly awful.
