Sending SMS to a group

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.

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

[APP][2.1-2.3]Multi Texter

UPDATED TO 2.1.0!! Themes now supported.
** Multi Texter has no limit to send messages **
There is no limit to send to 20 contacts or anything like that. It is totally unlimited from the app. Just that the total number should not reach 100 messages in an hour for the app thats an android limit. If you have removed the limit then you can send unlimited messages from my app.
Hey guys. I have made an app that lets you send multiple messages to multiple contacts. For example. you can select 15 messages from a unified inbox and send them to 20 contacts. It's got tons of more features, and it's free. Do try it and review it.
Description: "It's different!"
What makes it different is that in this app you can choose multiple SMS from a unified Inbox to send to multiple Contacts. In other apps you choose a single message to send to many people. But here you can choose multiple SMS. This is a must have app if you like to forward a lot of messages. Works in multiple threads so you get TRUE Multi Texting.
Features:
*Groups
*Custom Messages
*Multiple SMS
*Multiple Recipients
*Drafts
*Retry Failed Attempts
*Search through Messages and Contacts by Message Content or Contact Name
*Delete multiple messages-Press menu in "Create"
Screenshots:
Here is the market link: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.xntax.multitexter
Direct download(For use unless you don't have Market):
((Updated))
MultiTexter-2.1.0.apk

Reserving Space
For later use.

Does this allow me to have a chat with 3 or more people?

Like the idea downloading now
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App

I regularly have to write and send sms to 50 different contacts... Will this application make it easier than normal sms applications (like gosms, handcent, etc)?

Can anyone post the APK please? I'm on a Tablet and can't access the download link through market.

I really want to fix those FC's on the Sensation. I don't have access to one so I can't fix it without your help. Please PM me with what exactly you were doing and how you experienced it. And next time you experience an FC send your forum name in it so I will have a better understanding of the problem while talking to you about it.
I am releasing an update which will fix a few problems I have seen. But not sure about this Sensation problem.

You will have to google that up. You have to remove the limit yourself on your phone. You'll have to root the phone first though.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

wow.. awesome app. had sooooo much fun with this today.

Glad to hear that you like the app.

Is there any chance of an update for this app? I really wish someone develop an app similar to this one.

Hello

pixel group text mania

inb4 search the forums - i definitely did
using the default essaging app on a google pixel on verizon.
when i initially send or receive a group text, i'm clearly in a group text. but my replies to that thread get divided and sent out as individual replies effectively taking me out of the group text. the other recipients therefore cannot tell to what i am replying. the HTC One didn't do this - group messages were group messages, individual messages were individual messages.
what am i not understanding about how to reply in and stay in group texts?
thanks!

Its the way it was designed, it should say it when writing a new group text.
'This is a mass text, Each recipient will receive an SMS messages from you, Replies will appear in individual conversions.'

To fix this click on the three dots in the top right corner, go to settings, then click on advanced. The first option should be group messaging and you can change this to use group mms instead of a mass text.

Shows how much I've use a group message lol . thanks for info
