I have a group of at least 1000 contacts that I need to send regular sms to, which is the best app to use?
I've tried handcent (crashes always....latest version), chomp sms (max of 9 contacts), go sms (I think this one works but I'm not sure if all contacts are listed, I only tried adding them but not actually sending them (because it's gonna be expensive if I send them out unecessarily.
Anyone with similar experiences? I need to be sure that it reaches all 1000 contacts. I've been working like hell adding contacts to a new google account.
wow.. that's insane.. I'd suggest using the gmail app to send a mass msg like that. you can select the sa.e group of 1000 from gmail, and email their phones, you can send it as an SMS or mms.
as far as insane mass texting like that good luck... I know there's a tweak in villain rom that lets you send unlimited messages at once, not sure if it crashes at 1000 tho

Insane yes but I have to do it since I'm on marketing lol
The only thing I entered per contact is their mobile phone so no email. And nope I can't use gmail for sending sms in my country.
Anyone out there who has tried pullin off something like this?
You could create groups with maybe 100 contacts in each. Would be easy to see if go sms pro works then.

I too would be interested in finding a good solution for this too although I only have to send around 600 at max.
Btw, 1000 ppl to text. Wow. I have nearly that many contacts but thats including businesses etc.

You can try our SMS Marketing Service app that support unlimited sms sending per hour (we have 40 sms add ons, so you don't worry for 100 sms limit per hour)

So, I've fallen in love with Go SMS and its themability. My problem is that I mostly use Google Voice, but I hate the application. I also don't want to forward all of my GV messages to my phone, because that will use up my messaging plan and is not as well integrated.
I know that Go SMS allows plug-ins, such as for Facebook. Does anybody know if there is any way to integrate Google Voice into Go SMS? Perhaps make a plug-in for Go SMS that would do it? Is this difficult/impossible to do?
Thanks a ton!
No plug in as specific as you want for sure. The best answer is email the dev of go sms or whoever is making the plug ins. I have a string feeling that it isn't possible/allowed though, or someone would have made some app to do it.
I haven't looked for an app that can receive Google voice messages in a data form though.. if someone has done it, contact them. I think I would've seen an app like that by now..

In your GV settings you can have SMS notification rather than use the app....pretty sure that's your best bet, but not too sure how that will eat up your messaging plan any more than regular texts (that's all it is..a text of the VM)
IMO unless the dev of Go SMS can integrate the two your only option is SMS notifications from GV settings.

Unless you have Sprint and unlimited data. Then you're all set.
Thanks for the tip!

Super old thread! Glad some are still using the MT4G. I still use mine just not an active phone.
I'll keep my eyes out for new posts on these old threads.

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???

Handcent and install the group sms plugin... I don't know why people hate on handcent so much.. The thing works amazing with many nice features

I'm looking for an app which allows free exchange of text messages, as a replacement sms (which cost money).
ebuddy xms looks ok but it requires a ton of permissions, which I don't like.
I don't need something too fancy, just simple text messages. Ideally should also be available for iphone/BB/nokia so it could be used with many friends.
TIA
Free text messages ? Do you mean free messanger?
I mean something which allows to send an "sms" which will popup on the friend's phone, but which is free.
messengers are good for chats and conversations. I just need something to quickly send a few lines of text now and then.
tel me wich is good msg application i send fast and free
Search google play for 'Handcent sms'

Thanks. Please see my original post: I'm looking for a *free* replacement to sms. Handcent is an alternative to the stock sms app, but the sms it sends cost money.
My bad, I misread.
Try google

Try Viber and ask your friends to install it aswell and then u can send free messages between Viber users

Now that I've gotten a lot of my friends using whatsapp, my text messages have dropped significantly, it's gone from 8000 texts a month to 1500 texts. Now I use whatsapp as much as possible.
Who here is using whatsapp more and more?
Do you think whatsapp will eventually be integrated like a BBM service?
I am currently using whatsapp and viber for text messaging and phone calls respectively... Much more efficient that using my monthly text and call allowance... Although I used to be a fanatic with whatsapp, I have started using Viber a bit more because it integrates both text and call capabilities...
i use a lot whatsapp, but unfortunately people i really care doesn't have it =(
Whatsapp is the future of texting
I use it a lot ...and I think its way better than Bbm
Unfortunately I can't try it, for my phone is off and I can't get the verification code. Although from the screens I've seen, I don't like the ui and design. I use kik Works perfect, but yes; no need to have texting with apps such as whatsapp, kik etc.

Im using it to chat with my girlfriend so i save a lot of money from texts...but unfortunately people around me still dont have android phones and using old music nokia phone with capative display and thinking its awesome to hit it with a nail...and others are just iOS douches who using kakao and other ugly craps but itll be nice to have whatsapp as main android chat service since Gtalk is just regular looking app which refuse to work if you switching between 2g and 3g often (in Czech republic its common problem, only 10k+ population cities are covered with 3g signal)
Never used Whatsapp, I sometimes use Kik though, which from what I've seen of Whatsapp, is better in every way.
I use whatsapp more than i text, its freaking awesome o.o
Is a shame that is not available for Bada. I'm using android, but my gf have a Wave S8500.
I'm using whatsapp intensively too. However their server sometimes delays and my messages cannot be received. Only in that case do I have to switch to sms

8000 texts a month? I find that hard to believe. Isn't "unlimited" texts on any contract limited to 3000 texts a month anyway???
Not accusing you of BS but I'm just curious!

I don't know about "Unlimited" contracts, but I get over 4000 texts a month just on my crappy £15 a month contract
I tried to convince my friends to use WhatsApp, but they denied it. Therefore I'm using it neither, because it would be senseless
Hey guys I was just looking through my messaging setting and noticed that it has "delete old messages as limit is reached" the limit is set at 200 for SMS and 20 for MMS. I looked through my SMS messages and know for sure that I am over the 200 limit. Does the limit refer to SMS threads or actual texts? As far as I can tell it looks like nothing is being deleted (which I would prefer). It also seems as though I have over 20 MMS in each thread as well. I also use gosmspro for cross android/iphone group "SMS" texting which is actually MMS. Everything seems intact in my inbox. Any clarification on how SMS and MMS on android operate is appreciated!
