How do I increase the SMS recipients from the stock 10(people) to more ...with my HTC inspire I cam mass text all my contacts(300) in one time

Go into contacts and create a group. Name it and add as many people as you like.
BTW it is the 2 person icon next to the search up top
No it still allows only 10 recipients there has to be something in the registry that changes it

I personally use GO SMS, I find it far superior to the stock SMS application. It's free, ad-free, and 5 minutes of set up time = the most amazing SMS app ever .

x2, I use GO SMS also. TONS of options, and allows you to send an SMS to everyone (as a group or individual ones to each person)
I figured it out use sqlite to change setting from 10 to 99

+1 for go sms for texting
But if you have a big close knit group of friends that do alot of things or convo's together then might want to check out...
PingChat
Its just like your text/mms stock app or go sms but the difference is with this app is when you do a mass text message to a group their replies stay within that convo and all persons involved also can see others replies as well.
Downside is that they all have to have the app for it to work hence why i said a close knit of friends.
Go sms pro all the way and its free

Group Texting
I'm using Disco! Free from the android market.
Only thing, you get sms advertisments once in a while.
It's kind of like conference texting. You set up a group list, send the sms and its sent to everyone to see and respond.
Hi Folks
Little issue i'm having. My messaging app is not deleting messages when it goes over the limit set. I have set the limit of messages per conversation to 200 but it doesn't seem to do anything. I have many threads now with way over the 200 message limit.
I'm using Go SMS and the limit is set via the standard HTC messaging app as many of you will know. This feature worked fine on my old Wildfire and i also used Go SMS on that.
Funny how most people have issues with messages disappearing when i can't get the damn things to delete themselves! lol
Any advice appreciated!
Kenny
IIRC, Go SMS has an option in its settings to make Go SMS as the default messaging app.
Deselect the option so the native Messaging app would have control, just don't forget to turn off the notification so you don't get doubles.
Hope it helps
I found that just setting the max, doesn't cause the instant deletion of all conversion texts past that max, the deletion occurs conversion by conversion the next time that there is text activity within a particular conversation thread.
Although I must add that I still use messaging app as default and not one from market, although as I use a custom I have Sense 3.0 app.

I've been searching for a few days now with no luck. I'm looking for a Phone app that has your sms inbox included.
Ultimately I'd wish for the default Android Phone app, axe the "Favorites" tab and replace said tab with a shortcut to your SMS inbox.
Are there any apps out there that do something similarly? My reason for looking is purely for screen space efficiency though an all-in-one app seems like a good idea for consolidation since both functions use your carrier's cell service regardless...
Please & thanks for any suggestions.

I'm just curious what messaging program everyone uses?
I have used many of them and only one now has the functionality (that I have found) to deal with iPhone group text messages, Handcent 4.0. Once a week my family or friends will send out a group message and people with iPhones will all respond and it will come through as the same thread for people on the iPhones; however as an adroid user any responses will come back individually. This can get really annoying when there are 20 people responding and only 10 of them I have contact data for.
This problem has been reported to Google here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24468.
I love Handcent. I've been using it for quite some time now. It works great out-of-the-box so I've set it up on my parents' and grandparents' phones; additionally, it sports extensive customization options. Also, it can replace the default Android ringtone/notification selector, which is horrid.
I use ChompSMS. I got really used to BiteSMS on my old iPhone, and Chomp just feels right
ChompSMS here. No complaints. Tried gandcent but didn't think it was as good as chomp

GO SMS Pro always. I tried Handcent but it's so unpleasant, aesthetically.

After reading this post I installed handcent hoping if I sent a group text, the responses would arrive back in the same thread as the group text sent. Unfortunately handcent does not appear to be capable of that, unless there is an option I forgot to set.
Does anyone know of an SMS app which can support return texts for groups going back to the same thread, as opposed to separate responses coming back to multiple thread?
I love chomp and find that this is the only feature missing from it, which would make it otherwise perfect.

You have to set handcent at your default and then at the bottom of the settings there is a check box to "Thread group conversations"
Awesome. Thanks you.

Maybe I'm blind. i'm on Handcent 4.0.6, and I can't find that check box.
I've just been using stock.
I kept having a problem with handcent where it would tell me a message didn't send but it really did, so when I resent the message the receiver got it twice and I looked like a dufus.
Chomp has that ad at the bottom that is really annoying. I uninstalled for this reason. I would pay for the app if they would remove that damn add. So far I haven't figured out how to block it, the hosts method seems less and less effective lately.
For those of you that use Textra is there a way to set the maximum number of messages before it starts auto deleting in a conversation?
For instance, in GoSMS I think I had the message limit set to ~2k so it would be a maximum of 2,000 messages per conversation but I can't find that option in Textra and it looks like I have messages going back all the way to February of this year (when I got my Nexus pretty much).
This is causing the conversations for each person to get way too big.
I emailed the developer but they said thanks for the suggestion and nothing else. Is there a way to delete text messages older than say 30 days instead of deleting conversations and then restarting? Or what is the current alternative to Textra and GoSMS (got too bloated for my taste).
Thanks.

Hey I'm having same issue. Easiest way is use a different SMS app that does limit the texts then switch back?

That's too much of a hassle for me as this is something that should be built in, sad to say that even after posting this thread this feature still has not been implemented.
I even emailed dev with no response back when I made this post, I've made the switch over to 8SMS and am using that for now until I can find a replacement (8sms works just fine for me at the moment).
I agree however it took me 2 seconds to switch back to hangouts. Sticking with that for now.
