[Q]How to to send SMS to multiple contacts? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if it's possible to send multiple texts/group texts on 7.5 MANGO.
It's for the Samsung Focus.
I did some thread searching and they were all old (WP7). Every time I try the group text/multiple text, it responds with "Can't send"
I was just wondering if anyone has found a fix for this, aside from using the Bulk SMS app.
Thanks!

The count is limited to 10. How many did you add ?

the same, i can not send sms to 2 people on hd 7

In the Messaging settings, turn off 'Group text' and then try.
It worked for me.
With Group text ON, it considers the text messages as MMS, and fails to send.

Here is a silly question but if you send 10 SMS or MMS messages, do you get charged for 10 by your provider of do they all count as one?

Each msg is sent seperately so charges are for each sms

Sending SMS again after restart

Hey everyone,
I currently have an AT&T Captivate on the Telus network. I had to manually put in the APN setting and stuff. I have a problem with the SMS portion of the phone. If I send an SMS using the messaging app or handscent sms it shows the sms as sending even though it has been sent. And when I restart the phone it sends all of the text messages again. It is very annoying as sometimes it will resend about 30 texts to the same person. What is wrong with the phone?
I have the same problem sometimes with handscent. Usually it's only 1 or 2 tho

Go under 'Settings', 'Send Message Settings', and check the box for 'Prevent Resend'. This stops that problem with Handcent SMS.

just tried, it would still send the message again after i restart the phone. any other ideas?
i have to delete the whole sms thread to make this not happen. Which is kind of annoying. So I am hoping someone has the same issue as me and has fixed it lol

[Q] phone wont send long text messages?

for some reason my phone wont send long txt messages but will send short ones..i have a signal. im using handcent sms on the htc evo. whenever i try to send a long txt message my phone just sits there and then says message not sent. it just fails to send all long messages. what can i do about this? is this common?
It's happening because you are on a CDMA network (sprint) which limit your sms messages to 160 characters. Handcent is not initially set up to split any message over 160... You have to go into the settings and select that option.

[Q] MMS sending with (no subject) before every text

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to the Nexus 5 and i'm loving it! when I try to group text over MMS with my friends, who all have iphones, they receive the text just fine over MMS and I can reply, view, all the normal stuff, but every text they get from me start with (no subject) in bold over the normal message. Anyone had this issue before?
anyone know how to fix it?
I have already tried a plethora of messaging apps and made sure my MMS settings are correct and can't seem to find any way to remove the (no message) from the messages.
Any help at all would be appreciated!
Isn't that a iPhone issue then? Group messaging does use MMS and you can send with or without a subject but boldly displaying that there is no subject should be an issue on their end. I get group messages and it never shows "no subject"
Are you using Hangouts or another custom MMS/SMS app? If using custom, try looking for any settings that would say to include subject line with text. If running Hangouts, I checked and there is no setting to include a subject in Group MMS or anything related to it, so the issue resides as mentioned with the iPhone user.
Try enabling data when you receive an MMS.

Ability to change default apps

Is there anyway possible to change the default messaging and email apps to whatever one I want? (Speficially Gmail and Textra)
Gmail works fine (for receiving at least). I turned it off because my watch was vibrating too much. I use Google's messenger just fine too - voice response and all.
Sorry for taking so long to reply, and is there a way to compose new messages from Textra?
I recall being able to send messages through the messages app on the watch.
Just ignore the "please set messages to default app on phone" message that pops up every time you make a new message on the watch.

Oh, but I can't see my participant's messages on the gear (only I see my messages) also, group messages isn't functional.
I would like to know this too. I use Aquamail on my phone for email and Next SMS (Handscent) for messaging. I don't really want to use the default email app or default messaging. Is there not a way to change it?

Text message app sending strange text messages

Hello,
I have a Nokia 3.1 phone running Android 8.1.0. My phone uses the default Google Messages app to send and receive text messages. The Messages app was working perfectly until recently. I was a recipient of a text message sent to about 6 people. When I replied to the message that was sent, all of the other recipients received a private text message containing my reply, as well as my reply being in the original mass text message. This has never happened before.* Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix the problem?
Thank you
Did it show up on your device as individual messages as well? It sounds like your group text option is set to send individual threads. I believe there are only two options with this, one that sends group texts and replies as one MMS and one that sends them out as individual threads. The latter keeps them from going out as MMS which for some counts against their data usage. If you haven't modified your settings or made any other data saving changes I'm not sure why this would have changed for you, unless the message originator changed something in their settings.

VidJunky, thank you very much for your reply.
In the Group Messaging settings, there are 2 options:
1. Send an SMS reply to all recipients and get individual replies (mass text)
2. Send an MMS reply to all recipients (group MMS)
Option 1 was selected on my phone, but I have switched to option 2.
Still not quite sure how that happened (I have had this phone for quite a while and never had this problem), but thank you very much for your reply!
No problem. It may have happened during an update. Thank you for your kind words.
