Hello
I want to send a text message from my honor 8x to a group of my contacts but cannot do it because there will be an option of MMS for groups only. Can anyone tell me soultion.
You may change to SMS group messaging through the advanced settings of the Messages app.
Messages>Settings>Advanced>Group Messaging
Then choose the option: Send an SMS reply to all recipients and get individual replies (mass text)
Hope this helps.

GS2 allows me to send SMS to contacts no more than 10 Even more annoying is, that also email addresses are counted in a group list. Although I'm writing SMS and try to add the contact group in it, the list shows both the phone numbers and email addresses!!! Helpdesk said: "It is possible to tick the whole group at once, if you have contacts 10 or less." So, if all of them have email too, I can have a group list of 5 contacts max!!!
Is there any chance to get rid of this limit???
Same question
I have a limit to 10 contacts per time to select
See this mod, only for custom deodexed roms though.
As you all know, Android lacks the ability to receive group text from iPhone users under one single thread. iPhone users can text a multiple users using MMS, and all the replies from all recipients will appear under one "group MMS" thread. For Android users, each individual message in the conversation appears under the contact that sends it, not under a group thread. As a result, my SGS2 can't "reply all" to everybody who is on the original list of recipients.
This is a problem for me as I group text a lot and most of my friends are iPhone users.
I was a dumbphone user right until I got my SGS2 a month ago. I manage to tackle this problem with my dumbphone because it can "reply-all" to MMS messages.
I can't seem to find this option on the SGS2. Anyone got any pointers? Is it possible to send a text only MMS message to multiple contacts?
Reply All to iPhone group texts
I use GO SMS so this may not work in the stock Messaging app.
When I receive an iPhone group text (=Group MMS), I do the following:
(1) Create a new text-only message
(2) Manually key in all the contacts from the group text
(3) Add a subject (e.g. "X") to convert the text-only message into a Group MMS
iPhone users will receive your Group MMS in the same group text thread that everyone else is on, plus the additional "X" subject line. As you already know, without the subject, your text-only message will be sent out as SMS messages to each individual and the iPhone users will not see it in the group text thread.
Until Android Issue 24468 (google it) is resolved, this manual method is the only way I know of how to Reply All to iPhone group texts from an Android phone.
Hope that helps.
p.s. SGS2 is amazing.
Can't find my Outbox for unsent SMS or a proper inbox and sent?
Is there a way of showing these?
Thanks
it's like IOS. the two box has mixed~you can only check every message to find the text that you have received and send.
I would send a mass text message to start a chat group, but I would receive duplicate MMS from myself.
Has anyone encounter this issue with group texting?
I have Facebook contacts disabled but when I create a new message and I type in the recipients name, contacts from Facebook show up as options to chose. How can I get rid of this? I have already disabled pulling from history in recipient settings in messages... Help!
