You can. Go to "compose". Start typing contact name, select from the suggestion. A comma will appear after the contact name. To add another, start typing the name again. Much like gmail.
yep, there's no checkbox-like interface though.

[Q] Deleting messages at one go

Hi
It should be simple but I still haven't been able to figure out how to delete multiple msg from different senders at one go on my X10 stock msg app.
Is it possible to some how tick only the msgs you want to delete ???
You have to be in the thread, then press the menu button - more - delete thread. Or install MyPhoneExplorer on both the phone and computer which makes managing your messages, and phone a little easier.

Handscent will also allow you to delete multiple texts too... in "Batch" mode.

+1 for this. Handcent allows you to delete messages in 'batch' mode and send business cards (sort of) via SMS. It also has a lot of other great features too. Well worth checking out - especially as it's free :-D

This method only allows you to send the business card via Bluetooth though, not via SMS.

Sending sms to favourites

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.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
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?

Can't add a contact when SMS using handcent !!!

Hi all, just download handcent from market
but the main problem i face is can't add a contact to sms
which i click add contact to choose the person that i want to sms, because I dunno what is he number
so I scroll my contact list, I tick it, then I click menu > end end select
then it go back to the message there, but no number in the To there
that was weird, although I can just type the name and it will search, but if I forgot what the name that I put so how ???
*some contact can add into To there, some can't
what the problem ?
hope you all can answer my question, thanks ~

[Q] Adding multiple SMS recipients

I'have installed [ROM][4.1.2][AOKP/CM] GT-I9100/I9100P Vanilla RootBox [23/10][v3.0].
Is there i way to add multiple recipents when sending a message/SMS. ?
I can't find a way to open a list /group in my contact and then select desired contacts from that list and add them.
You can just type a name in the search box and select name from that search box.
Is this possible in aokp roms?

How about using a third party app like Go SMS ? I never use stock sms.
Yes, it's possible, enter number of person 1, then type ",", then number of person 2...
like this:
123456789, 234567890, 34567801

Is there a way to access to a group contact (as in Go Sms) in order to send sms to all contacts being the goup? Because it wastes time to type manually the name of each contact whom I want to send sms...
It depends on which ROM you want to do this. In CyanogenMod there's no problem. Once added is visible as group.

Default messaging app not working properly, how to make third-party default?

So, the messaging app hasn't been working since I got my phone. Its a GSM razr maxx. When I create a new sms, and go to enter the contact name in, nothing happens-- I don't see any contacts come up. Even if I enter a phone number or name from my phone book, it says my entry was invalid.
Is there anyway to make another 3rd party app my default messaging app and have it appear on my lock screen?

I figured out why my contacts weren't showing up when entering contacts in a new message. Some stupid glitch in my "people" app. Under "contacts to display", nothing was checked under custom. Even though a custom view was NOT selected (all contacts was), this made it so nothing would come up in my messaging app (although my contacts displayed in chomp & my dialer just fine).
Although your advice will still come in handy because chomp is a lot better than the default app!
Haha .. Lolz ...
Thanks !!
Well that didn't work. When I send a message in my default app, it doesn't ask me to send in chomp sms.

I found a way to get it to work, using the same idea as what you suggested. After trying a third-party app to make chomp my default (didn't work), I thought of doing it this way.
1. Go to "people" app
2. Send message through people app
3. Select chomp to send message, and check the box to make it default.
A lot of people on other forums are saying to disable the default text messaging app. Maybe this works with other SMS apps, but not chomp. When I did this I could not receive texts. Probably because chomp works in conjunction with the default app.
Also, I did read that other SMS apps have an option within the app to make it default. Chomp should add this to make it easier. I did try a 3rd party app that controlled what apps are default, but it didn't work.
Well, now I am having this issue AGAIN. I tried out a few different sms apps to see what I liked best and upon reinstalling chomp I can not get it back on my lock screen no matter what I do... Making it the default app no longer works. Ugh so frustrating. I
