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
Sorry for starting a new thread I know a junior member feels himself like an alien if he starts a new thread but i am really missing feature of sending group sms.
I have the problem to send group sms to many recipients. Currently I have to add all one by one but Can I make groups to forward text directly. I am using group SMS but that is not as good as I have this functionality with TPC's ROM in Kaiser. I am missing this in HD2. I search on xda & on google but unable to find any solution yet. Please help.
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?
okay! 1st of all let me tell that I am a old win 6 and 6.5 user. Just in July, switched to the world of Android. But still expecting few things as that of my old windows mobile. These are maybe in my new phone but I failed to get it work even I tried lots of googlings!
Well I am a college student so I mostly use group messaging. In frayo I can send 20 per time but now in Gingerbread it's limited to 10. Well it's not the issue. My main issue is the threads. Whenever I send msgs to group it creates a separate group. In my win mobile the grp msgs were getting categories as a conversation with the individual in that grp.
Is there any setting or any app that can place the sent msgs to the respected buddies conversation thread instead of being at one place.
Even is there any way to find out whom I msged in the grp messaging?? Because when I send 10 sms once a time it doesn't show any details except 1st few names of the grp members. So is there any way to find out to whom I msged??
I hope you guys are getting my question.
Waiting for reply.

I think, GO Sms could help you. New message-> + contacts -> Group - there u can check your buddy's grup. U have to have defined that group before that U can do this via pc (www.google.com/contacts) or on your phone via some contacts manager.
You don't even need to define a group, in fact. You can check the contacts you wanna send it to. After that, once sent, the messages will be posted into individual contact's threads.
Downlod whatsapp with group message
Hello guys,
I am currently using CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-Cooper-KANG by Grif_07.
The most important thing missing in this great ROM is "grouping" contacts!
I am a text geek and I send around 100+ SMS daily to my friend circle. I foreword SMS to my friends which I group according to my convenience. I was doing this with my Gingerbread unrooted SGA. But now I have rooted my phone and installed most amazing ROM but it's lagging this extremely important basic feature. I did search and found that CaynogenMod officially not having this feature and can't found any patch for this. I used GO SMS pro but failed to create any group. It shows group tab but not allowing me to add any contact to the groups. I also used Handcent sms app. It is allowing me to creat group but after creating a group it do not allow editing group. So all we have to rebuild the group which is pathetic.
So is there any solution to my problem? Any app or patch to enable grouping feature to send group sms?
Waiting for your reply,
Regards,
Adwait
