Hi,
I need a SMS Scheduler that works with groups stored in gmail contacts.
Need to have a weekly txt sent to a group, all the ones I have seen on the market seem to work on single contacts and do not see the groups.
Can anybody make a recomendation? My Scenario is this:
Every Saturday morning and afternoon send txt to contact group footy.
Has anybody had any success with this? work arounds?
Thanks in advance

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 ;

group sms
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.

please help me....
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.
chk out my signature for group sms app that I made
Hi Guys
probably a very common request but, has anyone seen an app that properly integrates into the WM address/contacts book and allows group texting?
I've tried some poor apps that are outside of the address book and (sadly) most of them don't work properly anyway :-(
Thanks in advance!
Don't know if you have tried this but Auto SMS Reply v 2.0 has a tool called Send MASS Sms that sends group of SMS to your contacts. It also has a host of other features like automatically sending SMS to your missed calls etc..
I use a TYTN 2, WM 6.1 ROM and auto SMS works fine for me..
thanks for that. Not heard of it so will download now and give it a try
lol - found it and had a look and whilst i think the "SMS Call blocker" auto-response could be very funny, its not really what I was after.
I really want something that integrates into the current address book system, thanks anyway though!
Group SMS can do wat you want. And it does a very good job if I may say so!
Only disadvantage might be that it's not intergrated into your address book, but for me that's no problem.

Thanks for that however, used that one and it didn't work very well for me at all! Problems ranged from not sending to all the group to some members of the group receiving the same message a few times.
That's to bad. I've used v1.4.5 on the HTC Trinity, TouchCruise and Kaiser. And it worked very good actually.
Hope you'll find the right app. for you..
try the app i hv developed and see whether it works for you.

Hey all.
Iv recently subcribed to facebook sms alerts and its working great.
However the messages i get sent are from slightly different numbers
eg. 32230004 or 32230010, the 3223 is the facebook address but the 0010 is the message number.
This is screwing up my threaded messages as its threading each individual message instead of grouping them.
Is there anyway i can thread a range of numbers so all the facebook messages get grouped eg 3223**** or 32230000-32239999
Thanks in advance
i need a way to set up a distribution group so that i can just send a mass text to everyone. i don't want to get handsent or any other messager, i liike the stock one.
i've already created the group on my gmail but it doesn't seem to sync to my phone, anyone know how i can accomplish this?
i use GO SMS
it does group texting super easy and convenient
the only bug is that if you attach any photo or document to the group SMS/MMS only the first person will get the attachment, the rest only gets the text
I used handcent for group messaging, u can try that. Also, u can customize it to ur liking.

Hi,
I was wondering, if it would be possible to integrate the Whatsapp messages for a contact in the sms history. So that you don't have to look up twice all the messages because you have them all at one place.
Furthermore, it would be great if i am writing a contact a sms who i also got in WhatsApp that then the message would automaticly send via WhatsApp. I mean something like that my phone checks wheter the contact is in WhatsApp and if yes sens over it and not a normal sms.
These two things would be fantastic because I never have to open up the WhatsApp App because everything is integrated and works automaticly.
Could this be done?

Do tell us if someone is succesful...
Any new posts about this? I just switched to Android from Blackberry and I find it a huge pain. Also I wish there was a number next to the notification icon on the top.For example is you have 3 messages it will have 3 and then the icon. I will look around for a fix for that on my phone.
