[Q] Adding multiple SMS recipients - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

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.

Use Go SmS pro...

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.

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

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 ~

Different default number for Call and SMS

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

[Q] I'd like 'Default' phone numbers to appear first?

Hello Members
Does anyone know, or has noticed that even if I pick a contacts mobile number and make it the 'default' in the phones address/contacts book, if then go to type an SMS message entering the persons name in the 'To: ' it still won't pick the 'default' number in it's listings first, but choose the landline number of the contact as first number in the drop down.
It's important if you want to use an app for Sending SMS messages on the new Smartwatch 2, as doing so will send the message to the landline number.
Any ideas please.
Kind regards

A quick fix would be to split it and create 2 contacts one for the mobile and one for the landline. Not ideal but its a workaround.
