I need to send regular texts to the same group of people every week (for 5-a-side footy) and want to set up what I would call a group. I can't seem to find anyway to set up a group in my contacts and just wondered if someone could point me in the right direction?
Cheers....

have a look at handcent in market.. great text app.
Thanks for that I'll have a look.
However first I want to see if I can create a group using the standard contacts app and then use the standard sms app to insert a group to send an sms to?
Can I do this?

I need to get a decent app that will allow me to send group sms messages to 70+ contacts at a time. Currently I'm using go sms pro to send them as it can use the groups i've imported via goggle contacts into the stock messaging app.
However some contacts aren't receiving my messages for some reason.
Anyone know of a good paid or free app that will allow me to get the job done properly?
Group SMS
same required app here...any suggestions?
Handcent, but I don't know if it goes as high as 70.
Does go sms pro only send a set amount of texts in one go? If this was the case then maybe that's why alot of my contacts don't get my messages???

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to forward a message using the native gmail app on android to a group of contacts already established on gmail? I often need to forward an email to a group of employees but have found no way to do it other than logging on to gmail on the computer which isn't very efficient. I've searched quite extensively but have found no solution. It seems hard to believe - anyone know how to do it, or know of a third party app that works with gmail to do so? I'd really appreciate any response!

Well I don't know about a group. But you can add as many as you like. Just tested a mass Email to 35 people. Just open up the message. On the right hand side towards the top you'll see a star, an arrow facing left, and a triangle facing left. Press the triangle and a menu will pop up Reply, Reply All, and Foward. Then when box pops up for send to just add as many Contacts as you'd like.
Yes, that works, thanks, but then I'd have to memorize the names or emails of everyone in my group which isn't my strong point (especially for groups with lots of members)....

A backwards way of doing this, I figured out, is to copy the message text you want to forward to a group and then go into a program like Go Contacts, select the group you want, click email all, then paste the text into the email body. A bit cumbersome bit the only solution I can find. Anyone else have any other more straightforward solution? I can't believe the gmail app wont allow for this.

Has anyone tried Contact Lookup Pro for contact searching (particularly for groups) and then bulk emailing?

I use Group Contact Manager Pro application. It has option "Copy all email addresses to clipboard." which make possible to paste all group addresses into forwarded email. Maybe it is not perfect solution but at least it is a real forward displaying as such in gmail.
I have been trying out various group messaging apps and having no luck finding what I need. From what I have read in the forums, 4.2 will solve my group messaging problems. I have a Note 2 so I am assuming I will get that update in the next few months. Until then, I need some help! I have about 20-25 contacts that I am the manager of. I regularly need to send reminders and important info via SMS. I have regular SMS messages that I send on a daily basis. What I need is an SMS/MMS app that will allow me to choose templates or custom mesaages, then send those messages to a group or groups of contacts. I have set up groups in my phone already, but that will only allow me to send up to 10 contacts at a time. Then when I do pick my group, I have to checkbox all the ones in that group that the message is to go to. This is a pain! I have spent hours reading through the forums for recommendations, then tried those recommendations. Does anyone out there know of an app that will help me out?
Hey,
I'm having some trouble on my Optimus L9 P769 group texting. I have figured out how to send a text to a group of contacts, but when those contacts reply to the text it comes in separate conversations. Do any of you know how to make the replies all come in the same conversation? Thanks for all the help I can get. By the way, I know I'm a noob so don't hate.

Its not a group texting, but a message who's sended to several people. Use an app like Whatsapp, Kik messenger or other to participate in group conversations.
Sentry is right. The stock LG app receives replies as individual conversations. Apps like Textra (Recommended, I don't like the UI but it's good) will let you use group MMS amazingly.
MMS has evloved into something it was not originally intended to be, and has become fragmented. MMS is implemented differently by different carriers and on different hand sets. The apps recommended by Ilxaot and SentryMescudi will use a seperate text number number (instead of your phone number) or 'user name' to recieve texts, and will use 3G/4G/wifi instead of your carrier's 2G service to recieve the texts. So make sure you tell all your contacts to use a seperate number when they send you a text.
Need help with finding a messaging app that works the way I want it to. I just recently updated my note 2 to 5.1. My old messenger App allowed me to send a text to multiple recipients without it being a group text. I find group texts to be highly annoying. I have tried about 20 apps on 5.1 and I have found that all of them but the verizon app make it so whenever you send a picture it automatically converts it into a group MMS messenger. On verizon you have to manually change it every time. So my question is if there is a way to send picture messages as solo texts to multiple recepients. Is their an app that will allow me to do that by default.
I have turned off settings such as send as MMS etc. The issue is picture messages are already MMS and therefore that setting does not affect it and it still sends as group.
Please help.
i typically want mine to send out as a group so never checked this on my current sms app.. but right now i'm using Textra. Has all the features I want and is very stable and reliable.
