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
I am ok with the threaded SMS included in dcd's unofficial roms but I have read that many people prefer the Treo SMS application or some other... what are the best SMS applications available for the Mogul, free or paid for?

Although you won't find a CAB file on here for the Treo threaded SMS application (it was ripped from a Treo 750), you can find it by searching google for it. There are other threaded SMS programs that are available though that you can get a CAB for, such as this one:
PocketCM Contacts & Keyboard
Def can't deal with PocketCM is pissed me off..
Check the 6800 section of the wmexperts.com forums.

Sweet thanks. I installed that cab
One thing I'm concerned about is keeping my old SMSs. I loaded one threaded SMS program and it used a different database to store SMS, so I couldn't see my old ones. However, they were still there and once I uninstalled it I could see them again. Does anyone know if any of these use the same database as the default app?
I would like to get P-SMS running in 6.1... I loved it... The one over at WMExperts.com is pretty good though.
Edit:
Nevermind... just got it going...
which one out of the two in the zip file is recommended? I don't want to reassign my email button, but where is there an sms button?
okay, i installed hte sms softkey application, however, wehn I try to send a msg i get the "you're not provisioned to send multimedia messages, message not sent".
any ideas
sending double text
I have Cody threaded sms and people are telling me that I'm sending a message 2-4 times. Does anybody else have this problem?
I uninstalled, soft reset, and reinstalled. But I don't think that fixed the problem

i just installed the shogun threaded hopefulkly its better than the cody threaded, but i had one question is there any way to make the calander button on the today screen to make it the smsm button like the cody threaded?
"i just installed the shogun threaded hopefulkly its better than the cody threaded, but i had one question is there any way to make the calander button on the today screen to make it the smsm button like the cody threaded? "
I believe you may be able to use a cab I have... I would attach but doesnt seem to be working right now. PM me and I can email it or sumin....Cab us called Softkey Changer... works great. Props to whoever made it.
Is the shogun threaded better??

Its still doubling but i think its because when i uninstalled the cody threaded sms there waqs still some files left in my phone. Because when installed the shogun all my old sms from cody was there.
Ok so I install the latest Sprint rom on my Mogul. It works perfectly. I dont use HTC today plugs so I have no memory leaks. After 11 hours I still have 20mb of memory left. The phone runs stable. No freezes. I use Spb mods for all my other needs and sirius radio, tcmp, flash bundle, opera mini for all my apps and needs. I run Slingbox and Orb to connect to my home PC media. I have zero problems with the phone so far.
The reason for my post is I was wondering what the benifit to using 6.1 would be. I dont have memory problems. All of the menues work the way I need them ect.. As far as I can tell 6.1 boasts better memory management? I realy cant find any claims to fame on the MS sites for it.
Any info is a big help ty much!
If you use SMS a lot, the new threaded SMS client is MUCH better in 6.1
Question about the threaded SMS. If I backup my sms and load it back in after loading DCD's rom, will it still be there with the new SMS program? Basically, I want to keep my SMSs just like I keep my emails. Does the SMS program use the same database to store them? Will I be able to view the old ones in threaded style? Also, does it distiguish between conversations or does it just thread all the sms between you and said individual?
Also, here's one thing I found talking about 6.1 advantages.
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Hands-on-with-Windows-Mobile-6.1-Professional-article-a_2477.html
The only negative I've found is that WM 6.1's PIE seems to take quite a bit longer to "render" webpages.

After reading those ppl's comments, I clearly realize that most people are oblivious of the capabilities of WM phones. Also, the 2nd guy says he wishes he could get WM 6.1 on his XV6800. I want to tell him that he can, but that would make me more of a dork.
hahah!! i thought the same thing about that guy and his 6800! hahahaha

Yes, if you use PIM Backup to backup your SMS, when restored with WM6.1, it will restore it as threaded. It distinguishes the conversations. It will restore email like normal.

It does not distinguish the conversations in the way that Poke_N_PDA asked. Every interaction between me and my brother, for example, gets put into the same thread. We might not send messages for a week, but then once we do, it creates the messages in the same thread as our previous messages. You end up having a single thread for each contact you correspond with by text message.

I don't think I have a problem with that. It would be nice to be able to divide it yourself and start new conversations, but I can live without it.
Also, can you still view and look through messages individually like you could in 6.0? It would be really nice if they just set it up as a view option to where you could select different styles.
Hi guys,
Do you know any good sms spam blocking application for wm6? Could you recommend any?
Thanks,
ncc74656
I don't think the networks have the facility to block/reject sms's like calls, if your phone rejects or doesn't respond with the network regarding the sms the messages will keep on being sent until it is received and the phone say's it has been received. The best you could do is find a program that will automatically delete the message for you, and there are one or two out there..
Could you please provide a few names, so far i've tried SMSrules but it fails to launch on my Samsung Valencia with Remora 3.0 ROM.
here you go
the best and free!
it blocks calls,fowards or rejects calls with a reply sms
and yes it blocks sms as well
Thanks for the prompt reply but i'm afraid i cannot see any link in your previous post. Is there something I'm missing?

Hey Folks,
I was wondering if with Handcent SMS it is possible to have group conversations. I know that you can select more than one contact to receive a particular message but is their anyway for it to host conversations. With BB(I know a shame to compare) I had an application and if I sent a text to say 5 people, all 5 people seen each others replys as the phone forwarded one persons reply to everyone else and added their name. Is their anyway to get Handcent to do this? To host like a chat, if you will. It was super handy on BB being able to text 5 people, and all 5 of us carry on a conversation.
If this is something Handcent can not do, is their any other good application recommendations?
Thank you very much,
Blaine

They claim to support group sms but like you said when people reply it goes into their own individual thread from my experience. Damn shame they can't get it working properly like on BB and iPhone.
Well as dissapointing as it is thank you for confirming it wasn't just my ignorance. Such a shame though. Have you found any alternative applications that can do it?
Thanks!

Actually I just gave up and said forget it to group sms for now. I emailed handcent but never got a reply.
That's just not cool. It would really be handy for me. Weird Handcent never replied.
OT: What year car do you have? Foxbody?
Handcent has a group sms plugin on the market. Never had a need personally but it may be what you're looking for
I've downloaded tthe plugin & well...I still haven't figured out exactly what it does lol.

after searching "handcent group sms" on the market, multiple packages showed up, so far I count 9 plugins for group SMS. I'm gonna screw with it a bit. You may need to have everybody you're texting in the group running on the same SMS client... I'll see what I can figure out with it
