Okay I looked high and low for an answer and It may be what I am looking up but heres the scenario.
I have two girls that wanna "chat" at the same time now I know you can send bulk messages natively but I was wondering if there is a way to either combine or something of that nature the sms that come in from them.
Thanks in advance

Shouldn't you be asking GoSMS about that since that's the app you're using? Honestly I have no clue if what you want is possible
KIK messenger has a group chat feature, but I think you all have to have it installed to use it. Or Gchat has a group chat feature as well.

Yeah if you want to do group messaging, its gonna have to be some kind of IM app. KIK is amazing FWIW.
The only reason i put the SMS app im using is for reference as far and the other people have oldder phones like a razr I think.. So I need a app that could not only send but recve sms and group them based on the person

Hi.
It seems WhatsApp is looking for C# programmers
Might hint on an upcoming release...
I really want it to come already, so all you C# programmers, go apply and write me WhatsApp (bug free please)
If they're looking for developers now this isn't going to get released for months.
Why not use kik?
Wish I could but all of my friends are using Whatsapp (Android/iOS)...
Without whatsapp I can't move to WP..
The same for most of my friends
Iosu
can u give me more details? how about copyrights and salary?

there is a kik messenger app for android and ios.. And thb kik messenger is alot faster then Whatsapp
Just to clarify:
worldwide WhatsApp Users: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000....
worldwide kik (or however this unknown bloody software is called) Users: 10
Or in different words: nobody has kik! And all want WhatsApp (regardless how crap this software is) for the only reason: because all their friends (on Andorid or iPhone) ALREADY have it!
Thats the problem, so ROLL ON Whats App!

Yeah dude, you're right. WhatsApp is crap. Kik is way better since ever, and I'll not trade something better to worse just because the whole world use it.
I would have an Android, if so (;
if kik can just automatically add friends based on their phone numbers then it would be great.you wouldnt have to add individually each contact...still i agree its better then whatsapp
Oh god, why people are so lazy??
You just need to add ONCE. Your hands will not explode in pain if you use it to something beyond fap.

Not allowed in wp7 until mango.
I'm looking forward to this if it's ever see's the light of day - if need be then i can always roll back to Kik messenger
Having a BBM-style IM client will certainly help me transistion from BlackBerry a damn sight easier!!
whatsapp and kik and all the others are useless just use the built in FACEBOOK chat, or MSN messnger, 95% of people have a facebook or an msn app on their phone.
My girlfriend has an iphone4 and i've got an omnia 7. We use Kik messenger to send messages to each other because the iphone doesn't have push notifications for facebook chat or MSN messenger (i know it's a iphone problem...but it does prevent me from using it).
Although Kik works, the biggest downsides for me: it is not mango (multitasking)...yet, you have to set the kik tile to your home screen (it would make more sense to use the native messenger tile), no voice to text and text to voice like the native messenger in mango (it is awesome!).
Maybe i'm too fussy about these things
they should have integrated facebook messages into mango, as well and not just facebook chat.
in combination with the new facebook messenger app for ios and android it could be an alternative to whatsapp.
@gentrice Exactly! Now it's kinda weird you can chat (facebook, Win Live) via the messenger tile in wp7...while you can't send facebook messages. It would be totally awesome if WhatsApp, Kik etc. would also be able to integrate directly in the OS. I can imagine that companys like WhatsApp would like to receive some earnings from this. I would have no problem in paying a yearly fee to be able to have WhatsApp integrated in the OS (it would be the same as paying for the app on a year tot year basis).
I guess I just keep dreaming a little further . Hopefully facebook messages will get integrated in WP7. Everyone I know uses facebook. With a cross platform messaging app...it could be huge.

Yea maybe if your friends are all on WP7 its ok because its integrated and running all the time (unless you go and turn it off). But I dont believe its integrated into iPhone, Android or Blackberry..
Hey,
Facebook app on WP sucks. Can someone make a proper messenger app with geolocation, support for read receipts etc? Something like iPhone and Android have. I'm sikc and tiered of this current app that wastes space and looks uggly. Push notifactions that work would be also a bonus.
Just an idea. If wished, I would not mind a proper facebook app in genreal aswell but I can handle the lack of that, if messenger app would exist.

I suppose you know that at least on your message you can swipe to online and that's Facebook chat right

Yeah, but "who cares" for chat, we just want an messenger app that iOS and Android have. I really, really miss that feature on my 8X, not only that push notifications does not work, but also, we are not able to send or receive any file/picture via it !

Push Notification does work.... I am not missing any fb chat message however it's lagging couple of seconds.
Microsoft is not a copycat. They are trying to be original and bring something new to the end users.
Everything has to be intergrated in the people hub. Whatsapp is an exception since it uses your phone number to communicate with the other party; so is Tango.
Keep in mind that WP8 was meant to be compatible with Windows 8 where all your contacts are now integrated into your live messenger.
well the facebook app does not always work. most of the time its fine.. but sometimes its just a pain. messages send online are not displayed.
sometimes messages are not displayed at all. some contact i can write messages to and they dont receive all of them..i evne have contact that dont receive any of my messages.
its supposed to support on and offline fb messages.. not sure if that works correctly

If your contact is offline they wont get messages. In all other scenarios, they do receive your messages.
A dedicated Facebook Messenger app is needed because
1. the built in Facebook Chat lacks several important features (most importantly group messages) and is unreliable. Also doesn't show previous messages that weren't sent using the built in chat.
2. the normal Facebook app has several issues when it comes to messages, including annoying error popups and no notificaitions.
There is an app called FIM, I haven't tried it yet.
So I just got my Moto X and its pretty awesome. My previous phone was an iPhone 3GS and I really liked iMessage but I figured that now since Android supports group sms I would take the plunge. However, after doing my first group message today I was only able to see 1 of my contact's text messages while everyone elses messages just never reached me (I guess in text message limbo).
All of the people I messaged were iPhone users (5 and 5s). Is this just a blip or just a common problem that I will have to deal with for the next 2 yrs (which I dont really want to deal with, all of my friends are iPhone users)? Could it possibly be a ATT problem, I tried texting my phone from one of my friends and immediately it went to iMessage instead of SMS but it eventually changed to text and I got it.
so I asked motorola about this issue. They said group messaging is no longer supported (wth) and I should download a 3rd party app.

If you like the stock app check out 8sms. Works very well and supports group messaging.
I have found that group messaging on android is pretty lack luster. I've installed Google hangouts as my default sms app and just deal with the issues. Hopefully, it will get better over time. They have a ton of issues to work through though. Good luck.
I do group messaging all the time in the hangouts app. Works no problem for me at all. I do them as "group MMS" messages. Try switching your SMS app to hangouts and see if it's any better.
Oh and before you switched from the iPhone did you unregister your phone number with iMessage? If not, that might be why they're not coming through. The apple database thinks you're still on iMessage and they're getting lost in limbo. See this:
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/2013/11/28/switching-from-iphone-to-android-switch-off-imessage/
Anyone know how to enable them or an app to use? I'm using the stock messaging app and I can't see/send group texts. All of the texts from the group text are being sent as individual texts instead of a group text. any help would be great, thanks!
That's how mine is too. Probably just have to use an alternate messanger if you want it, like Android messages, Hangouts, or whatsapp.
Maybe they should add some features to the stock messanger app, it's very basic.
Use Signal. It is a great texting app that also allows for end-to-end encryption for anyone else that uses the app.
thanks guys, im using android messages and it seems to work fine.
And why? ?
I'm using Facebook messenger app. Crazy, I know.
The Why: Because I already have it for the occasional FB message, so I thought I would give it a try. It's not bad, and I like the chat heads. I don't share anything too personal over it, so I'm not concerned. One day I might stop being lazy and try some others out.
Google Messages works a treat for my usage...
Textra ftw. No other texting app better, none as customizable. I also use WhatsApp for friends out of the USA and for sending video and photos to my most talked to friends

I use Google Messages right now but I do miss the customization that Textra offered and how fast and smooth it is but the one major thing that prevents me from using it every time is the lack of archiving message threads feature that text apps like pulse and messages have. It keeps me away cause sometimes I want to delete a message thread but often times I just want to archive it cause there may be images, information, or just the fact that I want to see my text history with that person. Which Textra would add this feature instead of just the deleting the whole thread.
Textra here too
Fast and simple and heavily customisable
Whats app, facebook messenger.

Yes I agree I gave it 3 stars and mentioned this in my review to the developer. I told them it would be a 5 star if there was a way to backup and restore or archive them as to not lose them from phone to phone or in cases you need to data reset your phone. They responded to me and said they would look into it and nothing... this was about 2 years ago.
Textra is love, Textra is life, no other compromise.
Google messages. I have used textra alot before. But just switched to Google and it's been smooth and exactly what I need.
Google Messages for me.
Smooth, useful features, and web messaging from other devices.
As a non US résident, I don't have access to those fancy text apps nevermind to a supercharged network !
Hence, where I am from, texting is a thing of the past!
I use Telegram which is, in my opinion, light years ahead it's competition in terms of features and one of the last really secure platform there is! (Among with signal)
+ Channels
Google messages, Whatsapps and Telegram.
Used to use textra, then chompsms, now pulse.
I got tired of backing up my messages when changing phones (I switch between 3 at least once a week.)
Pulse auto syncs messages and restores automatically upon a new login.

You guys use text messaging? Damn...
It's 2019, use Signal.
Using Google messages, simple, works for me and has a web client for the rare time I don't have my phone next to me
Textra
Great app no issues
Using the stock messaging app for the time being but considering moving to google messaging app because of the web client, which was very convenient back when I had my Nokia 6.1
Textra , it's awesome!
