Sending SMS to a group?

This morning i created a group in contacts with specific people i would like to send SMSs to. In other words, i associated few contact names to a category. I am able to go to my contacts and have the specific contacts show up but what i would like to do is send one SMS to that group of people. I was sitting for atleast 25 minutes trying to figure it out and i would appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction. Thanks in advance.

ur one step ahead of me.... i can't even seem to create a group in my contacts... i'm using a tilt with dutty's v3 rom...
and i would love to know how to send sms's to groups as well because i do a ton of txt msging

i use Skb Group SMS...not free though...

this was posted by someone in another thread... http://www.mediafire.com/?cxmjz2xdiay this is the latest version i've been using the 1.4.1 version on my Kaiser/Tilt and it's a life saver..about to try out this new version and see how it works...

Hi Mates,
I think the below mentioned link will solve your problem. I used this tool and its really very useful and effective and it even has a scheduling functionality included...

Group Messaging?

Do any of you know if the HTC One supports group SMS/MMS messaging like the iPhone within the native Text Messaging app?
Meaning, if someone (on iPhone) sends a text message to 10 people (MMS), my reply will be an MMS message back to the 10 people, and all the people responding in that group will be contained in one thread?
I have an HTC Sensation right now, and it only does a reply-all that sends 10 separate SMS messages to each person. This isn't acceptable to me when trying to maintain a conversation.

If you have a look, i might be wrong, but i found this earlier, when you goto Create Message, put all the contact in as per usual, then there is a statement with a checkbox saying 'Send as Individual Message' uncheck that box, and hey presto. . . group message.
Hope this helps. . .

That's good that i can send a new message out like that, but what about on Reply? Is that checkbox available? And if other people are replying, is it all grouped in one thread?

I definitely would try it out if i had the phone . I don't have it yet, and want to make sure that it can support it because a lack of Group MMS is a show stopper for me buying the device.

Jelly Bean - My first "bad" - No group SMS!!!

Ok, after some research, it appears that Verizon is the reason Group SMS is disabled in Jelly Bean, but I could be wrong. At any rate, can anyone recommend a good tool to send Group SMS text messages that will NOT take over my stock messaging tool? I really like the stock text tool.
I tried Go SMS Pro, and it took over everything, and I hated the interface. bleh. Used it to send my group, and then uninstalled.
So, looking for a tool that will see my Google Groups, and allow me to send group SMS to those groups.
Oh, and has to be separate messages, no group chat tools. I have to send out the mass text, and receive individual replies that don't go to anyone else. It's the best way to deal with the team I'm working with.
Your help is appreciated!

I have this exact problem. Have you managed to find a solution else where yet?

Right now, I am using GroupText. Not awesome, but ok, and gets the job done. Still looking for a better solution.

Anyone have a better solution to group SMS?

So, you can do that by swapping the Contacts area that pops up when you choose multiple reciepents, Then choose any of your groups.

ROM?

Nokia X2 Android: SMS'ing groups?
I've got an X2... have created a group... but find I can't SMS them.
Yes it is possible to add people to an SMS one by one...
but can't find any way to select the group itself to save you entering multiple contacts each time you want to SMS a group.
Has anyone figured out how to SMS a group on the X2?
PS. All the software is up-to-date... including firmware.

Yes, the stock messaging app does not support group messaging. Seems very strange to me...I mean, what is this? 2011?
Anyway, if you update Hangouts and use it for SMS/MMS, you can use it for group messaging.

I was hoping that the stock messaging app supports group text but I guess that's not the case

Create a new message >Search for your first contact by name or number >Tap the "To" field at the top, after the comma >Search for your second contact >Repeat for your group until you're ready to write you message
This is how it has always been on stock messaging. Doesn't work like other messaging apps though e.g. only you get the replies, not everyone in the group

I just use Textra messaging app. It's like the stock messaging app on steroids.

Then...that's not group messaging. It's mass texting.
