Send text to multiple recipents.

aznbruinboy · #1 (**permalink**) 01-05-2009, 02:27 PM

Is there a program or plugin that will allow me to send a text message to multiple recipients instead of sending them one at a time? I know it's possible with the ; and space but I'm hoping to avoid that and just type out the next person immediately. Is there a registry fix? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have it and use it occasionally. I don't send too many group texts, but when I need to it works really well.

IDK about you guys but the default SMS/MMS threader in 6.1 does multiples just fine. I simply start typing the first few letters of a contact and it gives a dropdown based on what ive typed. I can select it and start type a new contact and it will populate it also. It auto adds the ";" character anyway so am I missing something that you guys are doing differently?

Thats the way i doit, thats the reason i dont use the GroupSMS program nor other similar program, i am sure on the GroupSMS program you can select the contacts or a group of contacts you are going to send a text to, for some people is a lot of easier specially i they arent that good with typing..

You can send to multiple people without any special software. Start the message by selecting "Send Text Message" to one of the recipients in your contacts. This will bring up the message in the same format as your email in outlook mobile (rather than in a threaded format). Then simply keep adding recipients before you hit send. I do it all the time. Once it is sent, your threaded messaging will show one message for each recipient. Why use a third party program full of glitches and bugs when you don't need to?

Some people like the added features, such as scheduling messages to be sent at a specific time, replying to missed calls with sms, quickly sending to designated groups, etc. It's not for everyone, but like anything else, there is a market for it.

Yeah I do have an app called TimedSMS which I use for scheduling SMSs for Bdays and such but the only time I do groups are for holidays. Even then have if the idiots dont respond back so Ive just about quit doing that too.
