SMS and MMS general info - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

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!

The limit is per conversation not total.

[Q] group sms limit of 10

anyone know how to increase sms group limit of 10
Just been searching for a fix for this, any luck?
Maybe I need to change my search terms?
Yes, a fix is in vrtweaks for villainrom 1.4. Also lets you send over 4 sms without it converting to mms
Thx for tweaking pulsar!
What i also find very anoying is when sending group sms and one recepient has only a email saved, the whole sms is send to all recepients as an mms! Produced me some unwanted extra costs..
Just wanted to let you know
you can also use "handcent sms" oder "gosms" from the market.
they're much prettier than the stock sms app and you can send group sms to all the phonebook eg or tick off the conversion to mms and stuff like that
I changed max sent from 10 to 100, and sms convert to mms after 40

[Q] SMS Settings

Yesterday, for the first time, I realized that my X10 has a SMS limit. I could not send or receive any SMS until I purged out a few messages by deleting several conversations. I saw somewhere on this forum an app/tool that provided for SMS/MMS settings that would automatically purge messages when the limit is reached. For the life of me, I cannot find that thread. I have no idea why Sony Ericsson didn't provide more messaging options like my wife's HTC Inspire. I have no reason to save old message, but I want to receive them without limitations.
OK - Maybe there is someway to purge text messages automatically when the limit is reach; any suggestions?

I only can say thanks....thanks a lot. Handcent looks amazing. I have a lot to learn, but it would be worth it!

[Q] Is there an app to remove old text messages?

I know the stock Messaging app has an option to remove text messages over xxx messages but it doesn't work. I have 700+ text messages with some of my contacts and I'd like something to automatically remove all the messages over 200, i.e. I'd like no more than 200 texts per contact.
Anyone know of a program that will do this?
Handecent
try handecent sms, I think that It has this feature, I cant check at the moment. But iirc it does.
I tried posting a link but I dont have more than 10 posts so I cant. It should be easy to find.
hope this helps. Either way its a great app.
go sms pro has a remove old messages feature. its pretty good actually. plus its free of charge!

Whats the best app to use to send sms to all contacts?

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)

Messaging App

Need help with finding a messaging app that works the way I want it to. I just recently updated my note 2 to 5.1. My old messenger App allowed me to send a text to multiple recipients without it being a group text. I find group texts to be highly annoying. I have tried about 20 apps on 5.1 and I have found that all of them but the verizon app make it so whenever you send a picture it automatically converts it into a group MMS messenger. On verizon you have to manually change it every time. So my question is if there is a way to send picture messages as solo texts to multiple recepients. Is their an app that will allow me to do that by default.
I have turned off settings such as send as MMS etc. The issue is picture messages are already MMS and therefore that setting does not affect it and it still sends as group.
Please help.
i typically want mine to send out as a group so never checked this on my current sms app.. but right now i'm using Textra. Has all the features I want and is very stable and reliable.
