How could I text message everybody in a group, instead of having to add each person individually. For example, if I have a Work group, how can I text msg all the people in that group?
Unless you can make SMS distribution list I don't think you have any other option but one at a time.
Try this one.
It is in beta timed form.

I've made a small application which adds a group of contacts as recipients to the existing messaging application. If you start the application from the start menu it will create a new SMS message for you. If you start it from the messaging menu it will update the already created SMS message. This makes it possible to forward received messages to a group.
As this is an extension of the original messaging application, all messages will be saved in the Sent Items folder.
Changelog and more information can be found at my website: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms
The application will run on both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones with Windows Mobile 5.0 and above. Never tested on older devices, so it might work on them too
It supports MUI and can easily be translated to any language. Currently english and norwegian is supported.
Please give me feedback if you experience any problems.
To download, please visit my homepage at: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms
Here are some screenshots:
GREAT!
works like a charm!THX!
dis application is much better, starts faster than the one other thread
Hi,
I'm still using version 1.3. I don't know if you remember my mail from then.
This is a part of it:
"Do you think it’s possible to add a group of contacts that’s in my SIM-list?
I mean, if I select the box All Contacts, only the contacts saved in Outlook are visible, not the ones on my SIM-card.
If not I can always save all my SIM-contacts to the Contacts in Outlook, but then my contact list is growing so big and a lot of double phone numbers are showing up."
MANY THNX to you
really this GROUP SMS is come to solve a big problem in PPC which is sending message to more than one.
NOW by using you GROUP SMS i can remove other silly program that try to send to many but big , not embeded in the options of message like yours
thnx again and again

make sure that there is at least one groupe (catergory)
Group SMS can't add a group at the moment. It can only read the Outlook categories. I will probably implement functionallity to add, remove and edit groups in a later release.
I recommend you all to upgrade to version 1.4.1. Some users found a small bug when contacts are member of more then one group. I forgot to reset a string before I used it again and this can cause the application to show a group multiple times with some strange characters.
The new cab file can be found in the first post of this thread.

I gave this app a try. First thing I noticed is that it wiped out the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions. Unfortunately, these two options are much more useful than a group sms. Great work anyway and maybe you can find a compromise.
I will certainly look into that! Which device are you running on? Is the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions a part of the ROM or have you installed it?
Nice app.
thank you
thank you very much for this app!!! i was looking for this for decades!!! great work dude!

I have
htc p3300
with B&B 3.7
and net V2 installed.
I have more than 1500 contacts divided in 10 categories.
when I try to use groupsms I get the first screen with preselection of groups (cateories)
I do chech one or various, then next.
Some seconds later I get just one, two and mostly nothing of contacts to check.
Where the problem comes from?
I used it with just one category and 200 contacts and haddn´t any problem ( has the program mem limitations?
Thank you for your great job
So I asked this in the Verizon forum but I figured that I might get more responses over here
Basically my problem is when I send a group message to everyone they all get it at the same time just fine but when someone replies to it I get the message individually and its sent to its own thread. Is this a known issue? Id honestly assume that group messaging would work much like that of the Iphones where the group would have its own chat and it would say in the same exact chat who said what. Is anyone else having this problem? If so how do I fix it? Im running stock everything not rooted at all and im using the stock messaging application.
I know that messages can be forwarded to a group but can you create a "chat group" using stock mms app?

yup I tested it out. There is an option in the settings to allow group conversations and among that when you are making one you have the option to send the message to the other parties separately or if you want it sent as a group convo
bump
So as much as I love this phone the one gripe I have is there is no group messaging option for us stock users. What do you guys use as far as a good messaging app? I love the stock messaging app just wish there was a group messaging option.
There's an option for group messaging either thru SMS or MMS
Where? I feel like I'm missing something. I can start a group message but if I receive a message and its a group message I get everyone's replies individually in separate threads.
I just wish there was a way to put all of those group messages in one thread. I hate seeing then separately.

I had the same problem but fixed it. Just go to your messages app and then go to settings. From there go to Multimedia messages (MMS). Then turn on group messaging and voila.

Yup, he hit it right on the money. I found this the first day in the same place. Again it's located in your MMS settings in the messaging app. :thumbup:

Thanks guys! Yeah I did that but it's weird, mine shows up as multimedia messages in individual threads. I don't know what else to do.

Are you trying this with a newly made group MMS? If you sent a group MMS previously and your friends are replying to that, it may not work. Try starting a new one.

Well my buddy started a group message and I received his message and everyone else's message in separate threads rather than all in one thread.
I don't believe you effect a group started by someone else. Especially iphone users. Hate when they include me.

I use GO SMS for group messaging and stock messaging for individual texts.
Edit: I enabled it and it works great! I had my bro send a group message through his iPhone and it works! No more Go SMS or Handcent! I love this phone more and more everyday.
Sent from the Sexiest Android Device (HTC One)
Hello guys. I just got my HTC One. I have enabled group messaging from the MMS setting menu and have sent out a few group messages but I'm still getting responses individually. Any idea what would be the problem? Thanks!
If you sent to people who don't have group messaging...you will get individual responses because they don't have the option. I.e....I sent out a group msg to people with iPhones, HTC one and Samsung Galaxies...only the iPhone and One users were able to respond in the same group thread. The Samsung users responses were individual. I believe it's not an option on every android so there are alternatives like GO SMS and Handcent but they can be buggy. I am so GLAD that HTC embedded this option on the One. This was another reason why I chose this over the S4.
Edit: I was wrong, the S4 also has the group mms option.

Group messaging was established system wide with 4.2.2, update to a ROM with 4.2.2 and it will work great..If you don't want to upgrade and/or use a different SMS app...I love Textra SMS ...very simple and does group messaging perfectly.

Yeah it tends to be a little slow but it's because it's converting to sms to mms message.

You all need to download TEXTRA Messaging app from the market. Works flawlessly and emoji support. Best text message app out. Updated frequently.
I just swtiched to CM11 on my Nexus 5. In google hangouts the text messaging doesnt seem to be behaving the same now. Problem i am having is with group messages. I send text to 4 or 5 people at once but their responses all come back in separate messages to me. they look like they are just to me but it seems from responses that they are to everyone in group. It didnt do this before. If i sent messages to group, all their responses came back in the same message thread. if i had seperate message to someone it was in its own thread. please help because this is very annoying. there has to be a setting or something that got switched
I think using google hangouts its meant for that to happen if I am correct. If your sending a text it sends to individually but if you send a hangout messages thats a group message.

It definitely wasn't doing this before. Send a group message and it wouldn't seperate into individual messages. It absolutely shouldn't be sending me a message that looks like it's from one person and only going to me but actually is going to a group.

Anybody out there help me or see how this works in hangouts for them? I am 99% positive it didnt work this way before and it makes no sense for it to. Stupid if somebody can send me a group message and i think its just from them and only way to respond to everyone is create new message to all of them.

So when i send something in a group message, it goes thru, and right underneath the message it will have details next to the time stamp. when i clicked into the details it tells a list of people in the group and the time it was sent out to those individuals. those recipients will ask me why i'm sending them individual texts and why not group messages.
