Send text to multiple recipents.
 

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 :)

This might be what you are looking for, is called GroupSMS, i have not use this software so i dont know how it works but you can try, download it here:

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..

Or take a look at Power SMS here...http://www.trinketsoftware.com/powersms/

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.

by default it will add the multiple recipients for me if i create a new SMS, but will not put a space in between the ; and the next contact's name (it looks like "bush, george;smith, joe;obama, barack") - i have to go back and manually enter spaces after the semicolon, otherwise only obama would get the message - bush and smith wouldn't.

it's worked that way for me with 3 different moguls - you don't notice it until you ask people whether they've gotten your message and they have no idea what you're talking about.

EDIT: just to add, back when i had a 6700 with WM5, that would add in both the semicolon and space automatically and everybody would get the message. since WM6, it hasn't worked properly for me.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I don't mind the ; method if I didn't have to go back and put the spaces in there too. You would think something so simple wouldn't even be an issue in an OS. I think I will go with the Group SMS method.

I Use GroupSMS. I Like It Cus You Just Select The Contacts You Want And Hit Next...Type in Your Message And Hit Send...doesnt seem to slow anything down at all...LOVE IT...

I'm afraid of a man who regularly sends text messages to both George Bush and Barack Obama. :)
