Is it possible to make the original sent mass text message appear in each individual's conversation threads rather than one thread with a group of names? Right now I have to send each person a personal text message for this to be possible. My reasoning is because when I get a reply, I want to see my sent text and then their reply text in each person's conversation. Is there an app or something that can do this?
Is there a way to do this??
Another question: I am also wondering if there is a way to automatically detect incoming messages as a group text. Right now I have to manually go into my Go SMS app's settings and turn on Group Messaging. But by then it is too late. when the Group Messaging setting is off, and I recieve a group text , the sender and all the replies all go onto their own individual conversations, and I have to reply to each person individually.

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
I noticed that even when I have the "When replying, include body" option ticked in the messaging options, it wont include the body of an original messgae when replying to any messgae in my SMS/Text Messages inbox. It works well with my other messaging (email) accounts, and even when replying to Sent Items messages in my Text Messages account (of course, it doesn't make sense to reply to your own mesage) but always does not include the original message's body when replying to a message in my Text Messages inbox.
Anybody knows how I could get this to work?
Thanks.
Hello,
I am currently using the Mobile Secretary as my program to auto-respond to missed calls. As viewed here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...secretary.aspx
As you can tell it is quite outdated and need something a few more features. (excluding international texts being the primary concern)
Can anyone recommend any applications?
Also I think it's worth mentioning I have a Samsung Ace i325 with windows mobile 6 standard.
OK, the source is available, so you're on. Be specific about what you'd like to have changed.

The most important feature I need is the ability to:
-exclude international callers. (and SMS if that feature is added)
-ability to automatically reply to SMS/text as well.
Some features that would be a bonus: (in order of importance)
-Ability to have 6 saved messages I can switch between
-Number of rings before the phone auto hangs up
-Max number of SMS that can be sent to one person
-Log of amount of SMS sent per session
-Log of phone numbers that SMS were sent
If I can get a program like this working on my current phone I will definitely pay for it.
When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group?
As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?
When you say "exclude international callers", you mean don't automatically send back the SMS when you miss a call from an international caller? Yes.
Why don't you just leave international callers out of the group?
I only really need the "Default" and "Unknown Caller" groups with both sending the same message. I don't plan on using the groups to send specific messages to certain people. I want to send the same SMS to all missed calls. Unless I am missing something but I don't see how to filter out all Int Calls?
As for automatically replying to SMS, how would you like the reply to be handled? Would you put a message in for each group, and SMS from people in that group would get that group's reply?
That would be a nice feature, but all since I am only using two groups with the same message, it probably isn't necessary. I just need it to auto-reply one SMS to all received SMS.
If all you're looking for is a quick little app to auto-SMS any missed calls (excluding international calls) with the same message, that'd be really quick to whip up.

As long as it doesn't attempt to send SMS to numbers that come up as "Blocked ID" (could cause errors) ...then even what your suggesting would be improvement.
That plus auto-SMS to all texts would be great.
I would also need a manual filter for a few numbers that I know don't want any SMS sent. (paycard numbers in particular)
(I currently use a "third group" on mobile secretary to "filter" out those auto-SMS, forgot to mention that earlier)
I definitely don't need an intricate program =)
Hello. I need some help with group texting on the G2x. You see all my friends friends have iPhones when the receive a group text then they can respond to the whole group.
Let's say person A texts person B, on person B's iphone he sees a text message from person A in his conversation list. Now lets say after that person A texts person B again along with person C,D,E, and F as well. Now on person B's iphone is a new thread listing person A,C,D,E separate from the original thread between A and B. Also, if person B replies to person A in the group thread then everyone else in that thread also receives the reply. It is sort of like a group conference call but for text messages.
Now when I receive a group text message from someone, I only see the original sender of the message not the other recipients nor can I reply to everyone in the group. My messages only go to the Original sender.
Is there a way to allow my phone to do this?

Have you tried 3rd party SMS apps like GO SMS Pro?
MIUI has something like this. When you text a group of people at once, it keeps everything in 1 thread. I don't know if your phone will send out multiple texts to everyone.
See on the iPhone it isn't really text messages... (I don't think). Once you send a group text, it converts it to a data IM. It still shows up in the Messaging program, but it isn't SMS.
To do something like this strickly with SMS, you'd be sending out 5-6 messages at a time every time you sent a comment. If EVERYONE's phone sent a reply SMS to EVERYONE, it would work. But I think the iPhones convert it over to data.

That's exactly what it is. It's iMessage. It only works between iPhones. Guaranteed if the other person does a group text to C,D,E,F, B will see all the group members because A sent B the message using an iPhone and B had an iPhone, but let's say that C doesn't have an iPhone, they won't know it was a group text.
Annoying, but meh.
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
