I send bulk SMS messages via Textra to my daughters soccer team. The group consists of 36 contacts so the 30 message/hour alert popup is triggered and I have to allow Textra to send the messages. I have poured over the forums and internet looking for a way around this to no avail. Mods to get around the limit are plentiful for Lollipop and down but are non-existent for MM and N. I am currently running Slimrom 7.1.1, which I love. Does anyone know of a ROM with this limit defeated or a way to alter some code in the ROM to do so?

Does anyone know how to change the SMS contact limit with AT&T. I created a few groups of friends and family to send a quick message out to. Groups are limited to twenty which would work for some groups just fine but when I send an SMS text out, I get an error message saying your carrier limits sms texts to 10 contacts at one time.
This has got to be a setting somewhere since I was able to do this all day long on my WM6.5 device. I even had a group of nearly 100 and had no trouble. Network is network so my thinking is this is a setting somewhere.
Ideas?
Got a lot of views on this but no one has been able to add anything. Should this get moved to WP General or WP Q & A?
Are you sure it's just with ATT and not an O/S limit? i think it's so you don't spam.
I have got to think that any carrier can tell if someone is spamming versus communicating with a group of people. In my case it was for someone that ended up in the hospital.
Do you have any idea how many calls and separate texts you'd have to send or make if you didn't have somethingng like this set up? Not asking a dumb question but more like an obvious one.
I am one of the few I bet that doesn't have unlimited text's and I would be willing to pay for my overage if that happens for the comfort of texting to a group that needs this communication.
Let's face it, someone can create an app to loop through a distribution list and fire off a text msg and loop to the next contact in the list and fire it again. Not looking for performance but convenience.
At some point I need to stop comparing WP to WM6.5 and just get over it.
I'm replying to an old thread ; hoping this generates a fresh look at an old problem:
I have an unlocked AT&T-branded Samsung GS4 (SGH-i337) operating on the Cricket network. I created a new contacts group "Buddies" consisting of 15 people in my Contacts. However, when I try to send an SMS text to this Buddies group, the stock Messaging app enforces a limit whereby I'm allowed to select and send the SMS to a max of 10 people from my Buddies group. This 10-person limit has been around for several years, so I'm wondering if anyone has found a simple/easy way to remove or adjust this 10-person group sms limit?
Interestingly, I also have an unlocked Verizon-branded GS4 (SCH-i545), and its stock Messaging app allows me to send an SMS to as many as 20 people from an established Group of contacts.
As a partial solution to the 10-person limit on my ATT GS4, is it technically feasible that I could simply copy/extract the Verizon Messaging app, then import and use that Verizon Messaging .apk on my ATT GS4 in order to increase the person limit to 20? Sounds simple, which probably means it's too easy to be true.
Hey, folks. I'm new, obviously.
I recently rooted and s-offed my LTEVO. I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and CM10.1 Stable (I also installed the exFAT fix). The problem I'm having and that I'm reading a lot of people are having is with MMS. I'm not sure if group messaging falls into MMS or SMS but I can neither send/receive picture or media messages, nor can I SEND group messages (although I can receive them). I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes, whether there's a fix that I just haven't found (I have done extensive searching/trolling before making a profile to ask this question) or if this is a common issue which may have been resolved in newer builds. Essentially, I was wicked pumped when I found out that I could receive group messages from people because the stock, unrooted LTEVO would receive "multimedia messages" from everyone participating in the conversation individually instead of all within the same thread or whatever you wanna call it. But, as I've come to find out, I can't actually participate in these group sessions, I can only SEE them organized within one text thread (which is still better than stock, but disappointing that it doesn't take one seemingly essential step further). Also, I thought it was just crappy Sprint service, but it seems that I can't send or receive multimedia messages (that aren't in text form). I was excited, again, to see that the preview of the image I was going to send was minimally compressed, if at all. I was sick of sending people screenshots of blurry, illegible caca, but again this feature falls short and now I can't actually send or receive any form of media.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong, or maybe what I'm just NOT doing right. At any rate, if anyone could shed some light on my unfortunate situation that'd be stellar. I'm forced to use Voxer for the time being.
I'm having the same problem. Any assitance is welcome!
I can't say I completely understand your issue but will give an answer with my best guesstimate as to a fix.
You are trying to group messages with others that have iPhones. iPhones natively send texts as mms while android natively sends as sms. Hence your problem (I think).
You need to use a third party messaging app. There are a couple that handle this but I use Go Sms Pro. It allows you to send and receive texts all while staying in the group without splitting the messages.
Once you install go sms pro you need to change a few settings in the app (you can find the correct group settings on Google easily) and disable the notifications from the stock messaging app (so you don't get multiple notifications for one text).
Hope this is what you were asking about as it is an issue for a lot of people.

Hi all!
I tried some old ways to change or unlock sms limit per hour but nothings work for me. Apps and threads are from 2, 3 years so i understand that some changes in the Android could make these apps not working.
I have some duties for group of people (approx. 50) and I have to write sms to them but I'm getting popup after a certain number of sent sms. I hope that you can help me with solving this problem.
Currently I'm running Cloudy G 3.3 on LG G2 D802
Cheers
you can use smshare app for that. You can set a delay to slow down the sending, or use smshare expansion apps to increase the sending rate. Though, you have to send SMS from your smshare dashboard.
Hello. Very frustrating afternoon trying to find a decent SMS app.
Any suggestions for an app that can do the following?
send multipart SMS messages
to lists of multiple recipients (as individual SMS messages, not group MMS)
incorporate appropriate delays to avoid hitting Android SMS rate limits
show in real time the status of each recipient:
not sent
sent but not delivered
delivered
error.
Thanks!
I have a lot of messages. Like a ton. It takes a long time to back up and even longer to restore all of them. I was wondering if there was a way or an app that let's you trim conversations down to the last 5,000 messages and only keep 5,000 per conversation. This would've been done already but textra doesn't have that feature yet (I just asked the devs about it today). I've tried downloading handacent and other SMS apps that have the auto trim feature but don't think they trim unless you're actively receiving messages and I'm now right now. I'm on an lg g3 fulmics 5.1. (Android 6.0)
