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?

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...

sooo... i finally found a way to get all of my contacts onto the phone itself so that i can add those contacts to a group.
here's a link on how to do it in case you dont already know how to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769000
MY NEW FUSTRATION
When in the messaging app... When sending a new Group text mssg, Click on groups.... It takes about 8 seconds (seemed like forever, I thought my phone froze) to load the groups... Then when you select the group, it pauses for another 3 seconds,... then you have to individually select the contacts within the group....
Talk about time consuming! not sure if the lag is because i have over 1000 contacts total? but, the group im trying to send the message to only contains 10 contacts.
I was hoping that when I clicked on the group, that it would at least automatically select everyone within that group.
THERES GOTTA BE AN EASIER WAY thats not so time consuming...
why the hell do you have over a 1000 contacts. you can't honestly talk to all of them

tried any of the 3rd party sms programs? I personally havent tried them but they should offer some features or better than stock
download handcent sms... so much better than built in messaging.

thanks! group text in handcent is a million times faster than factory messaging system
plus you can customize the colors and make it look baller.
Anyone having this issue? what i mean by "group text" is basically a chatroom, not
just being able to send to multiple people at a time. the problem is they are getting
my texts individually and not as a group. I was able to send group texts as MMS
when the bionic first came out. im on the 902 eclipse 2.2 btw if that matters. any
help would be MUCH appreciated, thanks in advance!
PS the people im trying to group with all have Iphones, maybe thats the issue? I hate iphones and they all make fun of me for not being able to group chat -.-
Make fun of them for owning an Apple in the first place.
The eclipse ROM doesn't support the group chat feature you're looking for. You need to use the stock ROM.
I'm recently bought the new Note8 and went to send out my new number via text messaging. I selected multiple contacts thinking it would just send a message individually to each recipient but it did not. It instead started a full on group chat.
I've deleted it. Still won't stop receiving messages.
I've selected to remove recipients and there's no option to confirm or apply and when I back out after deselecting people, they still remain in the group chat.
Can someone help with this issue?
I've searched everything. Even ran a dark web search that led me to absolutely nothing.
Hi everybody.
I'm trying to use WhatsTasker plugin to automate my Whatsapp messages: Tasker Schedule Whatsapp message with Whatstasker Plugin - YouTube
I know this is very old plugin, but it still works fine while sending messages to individual contacts. However, I have issues with sending messages to groups. I know we need contact ID and I obtained it from mgstore.db file. Individual contacts get mesasges sent with WhatsTasker just fine. But when Im sending messages to groups, I can see in my Whatsapp that the message was sent, but other group members are never getting it. Killing Whatsapp and relaunching it changes nothing. I wonder if anybody of you succeed in making it work? Or maybe you know any other way to send automated messages directly to groups?
Ill add Id like to do it with screen locked and turned off, of course with root access.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I've found another solution with querying Whatsapp database directly (link at the bottom), but I can't get it work...
Although the OP's task doesnt work with groups, it seems that other user successfully updated it to support groups as well. Anyway, in my case the task is always end with Error 127 when running shell action, regardless if I try to send message to an individual contact or a group. I'm not sure if I filled everything as it should be... I'm not that skillful.
Could somebody try and tell me if it's working for you? Thanks in advance
