I.love the app but I can't seem to set default number of contacts having multiple numbers using go sms which means I have select one number each time. It's very annoying while sending group sms as for each contact having multiple numbers I have to select single number everytime. It's sad it doesn't have this option as handcent and stock sms works very well in sending message to only default numbers which I have set.

HI
Not long had my X10i, and so far very impressed. However, Im trying to find out how to send a text message to my favourites. I run a football prediction league, and have 13 members. On my old samsung phone, i was able to type one sms and send to my 'group' of 13 contacts.
I have sorted my favourites out, but cant send an sms to them all at once?
How do i do it?
Thanks.
not sure that you can send it to a full distribution list
the only way is to select one then click left button to add more contacts you have to do that each time

Download the app Handcent, and use it as your messenger service.

i think after sending first sms with all 13 contacts (manuell added recipients), you will automaticly create an entry in your sms list, with a group u looking for.
1. new message
1.1. add recipient
1.2. menu key --> add recipient
1.3. menu key --> add recipient
..
1.13 menu key --> add recipient
2. type text
3. send sms
after this you schould create a groupe entry in your sms list. now you can use this to send further sms to your football group.

Thank you all for that. How do i group my contacts in handcent?
Hi there,.,
I have a contact with two numbers, as following:
Code:
Contact name: EXAMPLE
Number 1: 111
Number 2: 222
I'd like to:
1) make the default call number: Number 1
2) make the default sms number: Number 2
I already made the default call number "Number 1", but where can I set up the default sms number setting? If it is even possible?
Btw, my Xperia X10 Mini is on MiniCM7-2.1.6.
are you using a specific app for texting?
most apps out there are set up as blocks of conversation anyways so you don't really need to put the number to whom you're texting to

I use the stock "messaging" app when I turn on the phone because I need to mark all messages as "read".
The rest of the time I use Handcent SMS,.,
Btw, do you maybe know how to set up Handcent SMS to automaticaly mark messages I read (in Handcent app, or pop-up notification, anyway) as "read" in the stock app also, because I don't want to manually mark all messages as read after every reboot
The thing i didn't mention is:
I created a shortcut of that contact on "desktop", so when I press on it, a pop-up balloon shows up with 3 options:
1) phone call
2) open contact
3) send sms
when I press on "CALL", it calls the default number,.,
I'd like to set it up so that when I press the "SMS" button it uses the other number,., I hope this clarified my question
Basically I'm trying to get my Wife/teens to stop using carrier text messaging without having to explain to them how to use two different applications to send texts.
Doesn’t have to be Google voice, really any app that will act as the default messaging app and when texts come in over the Verizon number and they reply to the text the recipient gets the “free” text number to respond to will work – Gvoice just seemed like the easy choice.
I've done quite a bit of research and cannot seem to find a clear answer so I'm hoping someone here had come across this. What I'm looking to do is change the reply-to number that gets sent to text message recipients from the default messaging app, Go SMS or Handcent SMS. What I do NOT want to do is have two separate text messaging apps. I want all texts to come from one application.
The idea here is to avoid paying Verizon text messaging charges and eventually block carrier text messaging altogether by using Google voice to send/receive all SMS.
Ideally this is how it would work - When a friend sends me a txt using my Verizon number I get a notification. I click reply and then press send and one of two things happens:
1. Instead of sending the text over Verizon’s network the text automatically sends it through Google voice and my friend sees my Google voice number and replies to it, essentially encouraging them to use the new phone number but seamless from my perspective.
2. Another alternative is to send the text message over Verizon’s SMS network but have the reply-to number be my Google voice number so when they reply it will go through Google voice.
While #1 will more quickly reduce the number of text messages sent through the carrier network what's most important is I'm using the same app for all texting.
I don't mind purchasing an app that can do this either.
I using a rooted Galaxy Nexus if that helps.
no app can do what u want sorry
Not sure if this has been mentioned or if its old news lol. I was using Handcent for a while now and although it works for the most part, its still buggy where it still splits up a group text or it only sends to 1 or 2 ppl in the group and creates a new group chat. So far I haven't had any issue with Go SMS Pro.

Where can I activate this feature?
In go SMS go to:
setting/application setting and check "message grouping"
Setting/Send Setting and check "MMS Group Chat"
Setting/ Receive Setting check "disable other message notification
In your default htc messaging disable notification just in case.
That's it.

I have several contacts with several phone numbers between mobile, home, office, work, fax, etc... whenever I want to send a text to any of those contacts and i type their name in the To: field, it lists all their numbers every time and i have to scroll down and select the mobile number.
this doesn't happen in windows phone, where the sms app only lists the contact's mobile number, and it only shows you the contact's numbers twice if the contact has more than one mobile number.
also, in windows phone you can create a group of contacts and then you can send a text to the entire group and it knows to select only their mobile numbers and you can do this from the sms app by typing the group name in the To: field. I have tried creating groups on the Note, but when i have tried to text that group typing the name of a group on the To: field does nothing, it is as if it didn't exist.
And don't get me started on not having group sms like in iphone and windows phone.... does anyone know how to enable this feature without having to install a new app for a new service and either getting a new number for that service or having to get your contacts on that service (whatsapp or skype or kik or any of those) i want to send group messages from my phone, like i could do with my windows phone and my friend do with their iphones...

You can turn off the notifications for stock SMS and make go or handcent default.

I remembered what was the other reason I didn't line go SMS, it didn't keep the unread messages count visible like the stock SMS app does...

So, going third-party is still the only way to restrict/view only mobile numbers? (GS3 v4.1.2)
