i think what you mean is be able to do a "group" send but i don't think so that is one of the options available under the sms application that comes on kaiser. You could search around for one that does enable that though, as i don't know of any (not that i ever looked for one, only text occassionally ).
when you create a new sms, where you put in the person you send it to, what i do is, hit the hard center button, and that brings up contacts, after you select the contact you want it returns to the send part of the sms, just keep repeating that process till you have all the people that you want to send it to. see if that works for ya or if thats what you wanted.

Cheers - hadn't realised you could do that - was fed up with having to go through each menu everytime. I think I'll try it that way before I put more software on my device
Thanks again

hi there!! i wanted to know if there is possible to sen d an sms to more than one person at the same time... in my older nokia, i could creat group in contacts, or when i sent messages i could check the contact and tick those i wanted to sent messages at the same time for all...
but i don't know how to do it in diamond...
Add Recipient, then go and add next recipient then add next recipient?
if your going to mail all of them often save on in drafts and reuse it
EDIT: In the SMS go to NEW then in right down corner go to menu->Add Recipient
no, that's not the ideia...
what i want is to send one message but not just to one person, for example, i want to send a message saying "good xmas" to 50 persons at the same time...
but i don't know how to do that..
When in the new message, in "To:" click add recipient under menu, find the person you want, add him, and then click add recipient until you get all the recipients you want.
it works the same way as a email in Outlook. (on your PC)
I think this freeware is what you are looking for:

Erm, are u Trolling ?? Diamond is capable of sending to multiple people one SMS in one step, just do a new SMS
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 1st person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 2nd person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 3rd person
... and so on
and all will get ur Happy Xmas
as i sayed earlyer ... so whats the prob bro ?
Exactly what I'm looking for as well, although the application posted above is good, is there anything which adds tick boxes to contacts so that you can select more than one contact instead of groups.
I know you can add and then add again but that is just annoying especially when you move from Nokia to WM...
just start writing their name in, then select them when i suggests the right person, and then start writing the next one!

Was that directed at me?
If your read the original request properly, the OP is looking for a way to send messages to many people without having to repeatedly tap "add recipient". You haven't provided a solution.
If you read the link I've posted, you'll see that it adds the ability to select any number of contacts using check boxes without the irritating repetition.

The above application does allow individual contacts with check boxes. After selecting a group, including the "All Contacts" group, the next screen has the check boxes.

I see.
The OP wasn't very clear, I guess I only understood him (or her) because I had been looking for a similar application. He also failed to thank you for your original suggestion.
However, it's best to not to acuse people of trolling just because you haven't understood their question!
sorry guys... i couldn't use my internet for a few days, so i couldn't read alll these messages.... first, i want to thank for the help...
and them maybe i wasn't so explicit as i should be.... but what i want is a way to could send one sms to a lot of people from my contact, but avoid to add recipient, then select one person, then go again to add recipient, then select another contact, and then again add recipient, select another contact, and so on... lets imagine i would like to send the particular message to 50 persons from my contact list... i would take an eternity... so i was looking for a program that allows me to go to add recipient, and inside it i could select those 50 persons that i want to get my message, and no add recipient, select contact, another add recipient, selecet another contact, and again add recipient,bla bla bla....
ok? was i cleared this time? hope so, sorry for my english guys....
i think that way it could be more easy to send mesages to a group of people, right?

Is there any way to have messaging closes after I hit send on a message. I hate having to close messaging every time I send at text.

Don't know about closing the SMS app automatically, but you can send new messages or reply to received messages without opening the messaging app altogether, so you don't have to worry about closing the app when your done.
While in the TF3D Messaging TAB, simply hit the icon on the right edge of the screen a half inch from the top, looks like a message bubble with a pen.
To reply to a message, simply have the message displayed on the screen and press the Menu option, bottom right, and select reply. When you hit send, your automatically back to the TF3D TAB.
I find I only have to open the messaging app itself once in a great while.

well i don't have TF3D on my phone but i created short cuts for my most common texted people and when i press the short cut it automatically pops up with the person info filled out so i type what i want and hit send then it closes automatically
what I would like to know is if there is a way to keep it from telling me I have unread messages while I'm using thread mode. I'll be having a conversation with someone and it says I have 10 unread messages because I didn't click the title of each individual one because it is in a single thread.

I would like to know the answer to this as well, as it is quite annoying!
I think that in Eten was app send sms or SMSSender which allow you create new sms and after send didn't open messaging window. maybe someone have cab here.
For SMS, just press "OK" (h/w keyboard) or Home instead of the "X" - I've changed the X behaviour to only close the app if I press AND hold the X.
For hanging up calls more quickly, there's a registry tweak that changes the number of milliseconds... I think this is where it was described:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-354596.html
I think it could be done via Mortscript.... please post in DEV forum if you find a solution as this could be used by all
Hi,
Is there any way to select multiple people easily when sending out sms messages?
Thanks
when u write a texts and type the name in the "To:" box and then select the name, the phone puts ";" in and you able to add another name and so on
Hope this makes sense and is what you asked
Marty
Thanks for the reply, what i was reallyt after is there a way of selecting multiple contacts in one go. For example is there a way to pull up my contacts as a list with a tick box next to it, so i can jsut tick the ones i want to send it to, or do i have to select is one and then back to the main text screen, then add another person. etc
you may have to use a 3rd party app to be able to do group sms in that way.
Thanks Marty for the reply again, does anyone know of any third part apps that may be able to do this.
Thanks

Is there a way to delete all SMS Messages from phone? Because they just keep clogging up by contact and you can only delete messages from one contact or X number of recipients but not ALL SMS from the touch of a button.
All SMS's at once? No.
All from one contact? Yes. In conversations, press and hold the recipients name, delete. All SMS's from that contact are gone
Or should it be easier than that?
No i mean all SMS from phone like WM6.5, Select All Messages > Delete

No there's no way of doing it exactly like WM 6.5

But I personally tend to think WP 7 is way easier.

Yep I think it could be way easier than that - a prime example being the way you can delete emails on WP7 by select checking boxes. When I'm doing a bit of housekeeping on my phone and decide to purge all my SMS messages, I shouldn't have to 'press, hold, delete' for every single conversation. This is the first phone I've ever owned where there wasn't a Delete All / Purge All option for the SMS inbox so I don't think it's really that unreasonable.
For the record however, I loooove almost everything else about WP7 and this is a minor irritation. Can't wait for mango.
WOW!! When I send a text msg to one of my contacts, and if for some reason that contact didn't get it, the process to re-send it is just mind boggling! Actually, it doesn't RE-SEND it, u gota FORWARD a copy of the text u originally sent to the contact! And the process for that is just.........frickin....crazy! There has got to be something Im not doing right or I'm unaware of the simple "re-send" button that I can't find in the options menu when long pressing the msg. Someone please school me??
Oh yeah, where is the menu buttons to select if I want the msg sent with normal priority, high priority, urgent priority, or whatever. Both of my non-smart phones that I had before this zio had those kind of options, I'm sure this smart-like phone should have the options too, right?

You might try using a different messaging app. I find Handcent works really well for me.

ANYTHING is worth trying, but why should anyone have to. Id think it'd be something that's standard on ANY phone, smart or not. Well, hear I go downloading ANOTHER app again (lowering my internal phone memory even more) just to get something that should come standard. Ill give it a shot, thanks! Gota love this f**kin Zio.

All I do when a message doesn't send is long press on that message, select "copy message text," long press in the text entry box, and select "paste." No need to forward.
There is no re-send option that I'm aware of, nor is there any option for message priority. I never understood what that was all about anyway
For the most part,,, ^^^ what Lukas_s said.. Long press and copy msg text, then paste and resend.
There is not any message priority for SMS and unfortunately there won't be, because of the way the SMS network topology is set up. Unless there is a global rework of the SMS system, or it gets completely phased out by MMS, I dont think we're going to see any changes to SMS.

All sms should be moved to mms, so we get rid of the 160 char splits. I cant figure out why they haven;t done anything about that yet.

YES!! Thanks a lot, it is a lot quicker copy text and pasting then send. One thing I noticed today was, if u open a msg thread and long press one that was sent out then select View Msg Details it'll show date time AND priority: normal. Which has me thinkin that there could be an option to set priority level. Any advice, anyone?
Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
