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
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

...is there a way to get rid of it?
Looking for an application that does NOT save the messages in "bubbles". I'd like the old fashioned way, where the inbox looks something like:
INBOX - 3 Unread Messages:
Sender 1 (Unread)
Sender 1 (Unread)
Sender 3 (Unread)
Sender 1
Sender 2
Sender 4
Sender 2
Unt so weiter...
The "chat" system is totally messing up things for me, especially when work sends messages. They don't rarely send 3-4 in one minute and I have to reply to each of them in order to book me in for work.
In this "chat" system, the messages are stored like:
INBOX:
Sender Work (42)
And when I click it, I get a chat thing like:
Sender Work: Want something to do today?
Sender Work: Want something more to do today?
Sender Work: Want even more to do today?
ME: Yes.
That only replies to their last send message, booking me up for one job event and not the previous two.
Messy?
In short, I look for an SMS app that stores messages like messages was stored back then, not in this "chat" format.
Thanks!
Non android developer here..
Very familiar with adb and the 'nix command line..
I run Textra as my SMS/MMS application.
This program has no way to limit the amount of saved messages.
I just backed up and restored almost 10k messages.. from my whatever count contacts..
I am looking for how I would parse the messages db and keep the last 200 or whatever messages in each contact.
If I were to use a different sms app, it would invoke the limit -when- I sent a message or -when- I received a message from them.
Not looking to send a message to everyone saying "Trimming my database. Please do not respond. Thanks."
Thank you in advance.
Anyone else seen this ? For the past 4-6 weeks every group message sent results in the app creating an empty draft text message to every individual on the group message. I reported it to Big G via the app.
