I will blast out a txt msg to all my friends to see what they are doing or let them know what I am doing that night etc. I could do this with my pos Nokia I just got rid of by creating a distribution list on it. How do you do this on the TP?

I send a huge text message blast during holidays and what not, but I have to add each person one by one in the contact list till I add all the people I want and then send to everyone in 1 text message. As far as I know, there isn't a way to add a distribution groups or anything of that sort..... I hope I am wrong!

NVM

I stand corrected

I noticed that while sending a text message, winmo inputs from contacts like this:
Joe Blow <xxxxxxxxx>; John Doe <xxxxxxxxx>
and so on....

So I tried this and it seems to work (not the best solution, but its free!):

Create a new contact (lets say "People at work" or "Friends")

When entering multiple phone number, enter them like this :
xxxxxxxxx>;<xxxxxxxxx>;<xxxxxxxxx>;<xxxxxxxxx
leaving out the first "<" and the last ">" and separating with ";"

Not sure if this is what you are looking for...but it should allow you create a contact and input several phone numbers to text to. I am also unsure if there is a limit to how many phone numbers you can add.

Good luck and let me know if it works!!

There are a couple active threads discussing this very subject (including this [ur=http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=37106&highlight=massone). Search in the Software Forum on "mass" and "distribution".
