Group Texting

Rugby Enforcer · #1 (**permalink**) 04-02-2009, 05:05 PM

Hey everyone. I have been trying to do group texts with my contacts but I am able to. I have tried the programs Group SMS and Power SMS but neither work for the Treo 800w. Can anyone help? Thanks

so if u go to create a new sms, and just pick and add each contact 1 by 1, that doesnt send to all parties???

No it doesn't work. I checked the website for Power SMS and it says that the Treo 800 is not supported for some reason.

Using Palm SMS I can do up to 10 contacts at a time. I'm currently using POutlook and I was able to select more than 10 contacts but I had nothing witty to send them.

Yeah pOutlook will do it for you. Using outlook for SMS makes far more sense.

How does one use Outlook with SMS?

Here is the link to hannip's post. You will need to install MortScript before you install Poutlook.

I don't think this what I want. I like the threaded SMS that I have, and I think that is for the Palm OS. I have WM6.1. I have over 100+ contacts in my phone, and I would like to create groups out of those to send a text to without have to select each and every one of them individually. I tried Power SMS and Group SMS, but both of them do not work for the Treo 800w. Thanks in advance for your help.

POutlook is for WM6.1 I am currently running it. It is threaded. It is far superior to the OEM SMS on the 800w. You can send a text to all your contacts. I have 100+ contacts as well and I send group texts all the time.

So you can set up groups, and then send a text to a group without having to select them individually? If so, this is for me!
