Hi,
I have recently taken Motorola XT910 phone. I am struggling to find a easy way of sending SMS to multiple people.
Is there any way to select multiple contacts and Send the same SMS..
Just keep picking people in the contacts header. Once a person is added, add another. Works great.

Go to contacts Make a group in contact and add as many as contacts in group you want and save it. When you compose sms then find for group that you saved then hit send all done
When I do this on the Nexus it shows that it sends a message to each person you selected. But they cannot respond to the group. I use Whatsapp for group texting.

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???

Hello
I would like to send a text message or forward a text message to more than 10 contacts on my Galaxy S2.
I do not want to group the contacts up.
I am new to Android and appreciate all the help
Thank You
Some time ago there was an app on the news-page. About some sort of mass-mailer. I think it does what you're searching for. You just have to search the main-page, as I don't remember the name.

I recently decided enough with Apple/the iphone and so far I am absolutely loving my S3 and android in general. My only major issue is group messaging within the stock messages app.
With the iPhone it would show me in a group text who messages are also sent to and allow me to reply to all within the group.
Is there a particular setting to allow this on the S3 messaging app? I really like the look/theme of the app and would love this functionality. I do realize there are 3rd party messaging apps out there but I wasn't sure if I was missing anything.
Thanks.
It's not possible with the stock sms app, or even the samsung sms app. You need a 3rd party app like GoSMS Pro, or Handcent. There is a setting in each which enables it.
What it does is it combines the MMS's for you when they come in....so at first they come in as "download"...after they download, they go into the correct thread.
Yes it is just add multiple recipients and then send.

Yea, but when the message comes back, it doesn't group the recipients back (if your recipient replied to all). Don't see a way to reply to all either...in the case that someone sends you a group text.

I see this as well. It's a shame since other phones already have the ability.

You can group people together. You can select a group(s) to have your message sent to. If your friends have only one phone number in your contacts it won't ask which one to use, and unfortunately it doesn't remember which ones you picked the next time you start a new conversation (it does remember in the thread). Unless they can reply to all, the responding messages show up as a new thread.
Perhaps you can do this with the ATT MyMsgs app, I don't know.

I heard that the ATT Messages app supports group texting, but you can't initiate a group text...very odd if its true.
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)
Hey guys, as most of you know, the stock messaging app doesn't automatically send group messages to multiple recipients as MMS, resulting in the same message being sent to everyone individually. From what I hear, this has been fixed in android 4.2 - allowing for threaded messages.
I know this has been talked about in multiple other forums, but is there a way to enable automatically sending group texts as MMS on our phone using the stock messages app? I think there are fixes for other phones but I haven't seen one for the HOX+. I know third party apps like Go SMS and handcent can do this but I was wondering if it'd be possible with the stock app.
Thanks in advance.
