Hi everyone. I honesly have no clue where to post this question as the subject falls into multiple categories.
I have been getting a lot of 2nd hand confirmation that iMessage Sort of works with Blackberries. According to my 2nd hand sources, the following happens all the time:
An Iphone user sends a group text to at least one other Iphone and at least one Blackberry
One of the Iphone recipients responds to the Group (Not sure if this step has to happen) and all users (including Blackberries) see the response
One of the Blackberry users responds to an individual in the group and all Iphone Users in the group see the response anyway (Unsure if other Blackberry users see it also).
According to EVERYTHING I've read, the above scenario is impossible. But alas, it is happening. So, now the question is how does it happen? And of course, the BIG question is, can we get something like this to work on Android?
The other thing that is of concern is that this means a Blackberry user has no way of knowing whether his/her response is going to a huge group.
The only GOOD theory I can think of for this happening is that the Individual Iphone that the Blackberry user responded to automatically forwards the message to the rest of the group. But, would Apple actually do that? Due to it being without the Blackberry user's consent, I feel like they could be sued for that or something.
If my theory is incorrect and the Blackberry phone is doing something to figure out the groups, then can we do this on Android too?
Its just a standard group text. There's no magic involved, no special requirements but the ability to send SMS over a cellular network. Android phones can do this, even dumbphones can.

You are correct that any phone can do a group SMS, but what I am describing above is a Blackberry successfully doing a "reply to all" to a group text. I have yet to see that happen with SMS on ANY phone as none of the receiving phones ever see a "group" associated with an SMS. If this is possible on Android, please tell me how to do it.
Ok, I finally found a thread at android central . com /verizon-galaxy-nexus/142991-reply-all-text-messages.html. Apparently the feature is missing from the Galaxy Nexus messaging App. I downloaded the Verizon Messaging App as was suggested, but is this seriously the only App in the market that can do this? This is atrocious!!
Hi,
my wife has two smartphones (one private, one business) and wants to change to a dual sim phone (acer liquid e2 duo).
On the new phone there will be two addressbooks each assigned to on of the sim cards.
For private she is using whatsapp and the question is, if there is a possibility to restrict whatsapp to the private addressbook. There is no need and she does not want to upload all her business contacts, they do not even know the private number which is registered in whatsapp.
Regards,
Donny
Hello
A friend of mine changed her phone number and she changed her number on whatsapp too.
She has all her conversations, but now I have 2 conversations with her. One with her old number and one with her new number.
Is it possible to merge these 2 conversations?

I need to set up an alternative Whatsapp for work and generally people I don't trust.
I installed Whatsapp in Parallel Space
I got a free alternative number with the Flyp app (very handy). I don't plan to make any calls, only text.
I was now going to proceed to confirm the Whatsapp installed in Parallel Space with the Flyp number so in theory, only people that have that number could see me, but what I don't get is:
Whatsapp looks at your SIM card contacts. Parallel Space's Whatsapp is also looking at this same SIM card contact list even if I confirmed the Whatsapp account with another number.
So wouldn't they see that it's me but with another number?
How the hell I guarantee they don't find out? (as in, how do I keep contacts separated from one Whatsapp to another???)
Please help
hello all,
i am using samsung galaxy phones, even though samsung has feature dual-apps , so it lets user to install two whatsapps for example, but only allow 1 whatsapp business app and 1 standard whatsapp apps.
i have 2 whatsapp business number, so i need a phone that can support 2 whatsapp business in 1 phone, it's better if the phone can install more than two WA business (optional) .
thanks.
