GS2 allows me to send SMS to contacts no more than 10 Even more annoying is, that also email addresses are counted in a group list. Although I'm writing SMS and try to add the contact group in it, the list shows both the phone numbers and email addresses!!! Helpdesk said: "It is possible to tick the whole group at once, if you have contacts 10 or less." So, if all of them have email too, I can have a group list of 5 contacts max!!!
Is there any chance to get rid of this limit???
Same question
I have a limit to 10 contacts per time to select
See this mod, only for custom deodexed roms though.

As you all know, Android lacks the ability to receive group text from iPhone users under one single thread. iPhone users can text a multiple users using MMS, and all the replies from all recipients will appear under one "group MMS" thread. For Android users, each individual message in the conversation appears under the contact that sends it, not under a group thread. As a result, my SGS2 can't "reply all" to everybody who is on the original list of recipients.
This is a problem for me as I group text a lot and most of my friends are iPhone users.
I was a dumbphone user right until I got my SGS2 a month ago. I manage to tackle this problem with my dumbphone because it can "reply-all" to MMS messages.
I can't seem to find this option on the SGS2. Anyone got any pointers? Is it possible to send a text only MMS message to multiple contacts?
Reply All to iPhone group texts
I use GO SMS so this may not work in the stock Messaging app.
When I receive an iPhone group text (=Group MMS), I do the following:
(1) Create a new text-only message
(2) Manually key in all the contacts from the group text
(3) Add a subject (e.g. "X") to convert the text-only message into a Group MMS
iPhone users will receive your Group MMS in the same group text thread that everyone else is on, plus the additional "X" subject line. As you already know, without the subject, your text-only message will be sent out as SMS messages to each individual and the iPhone users will not see it in the group text thread.
Until Android Issue 24468 (google it) is resolved, this manual method is the only way I know of how to Reply All to iPhone group texts from an Android phone.
Hope that helps.
p.s. SGS2 is amazing.
So I have a bunch of friends with iPhones, and they threw me into a group chat (not that it matters but we're organizing a martini night). As you guys probably know as android users, this presents a problem as the group messages are received as individual texts, normally with a <no subject> header, and as a result, you can't reply to the chat, but have to respond to each member individually (or send a mass text each time).
I'm wondering if there's simply a way to group (on my end only) those contacts together, so that any message I receive from them shows up as a group chat, which I can then reply to all. I would still get the <no subject> headers, but at least this way the messages could be organized and I could read the conversation without having to look at each contact separately and compare the message with the timestamp from when it was sent.
The apps I've seen (like POWOW) can create chat groups, but it requires that my friends join the chat, or reply to some strange number each time, and it's really just an unnecessary hassle for them. I don't want that.
Anyone know of an app, or a way of grouping contacts together like this?
I'm on CM7 using the "Messaging" app.
Handcent has this feature. Free @ play store.

I have been trying out various group messaging apps and having no luck finding what I need. From what I have read in the forums, 4.2 will solve my group messaging problems. I have a Note 2 so I am assuming I will get that update in the next few months. Until then, I need some help! I have about 20-25 contacts that I am the manager of. I regularly need to send reminders and important info via SMS. I have regular SMS messages that I send on a daily basis. What I need is an SMS/MMS app that will allow me to choose templates or custom mesaages, then send those messages to a group or groups of contacts. I have set up groups in my phone already, but that will only allow me to send up to 10 contacts at a time. Then when I do pick my group, I have to checkbox all the ones in that group that the message is to go to. This is a pain! I have spent hours reading through the forums for recommendations, then tried those recommendations. Does anyone out there know of an app that will help me out?
Need help with finding a messaging app that works the way I want it to. I just recently updated my note 2 to 5.1. My old messenger App allowed me to send a text to multiple recipients without it being a group text. I find group texts to be highly annoying. I have tried about 20 apps on 5.1 and I have found that all of them but the verizon app make it so whenever you send a picture it automatically converts it into a group MMS messenger. On verizon you have to manually change it every time. So my question is if there is a way to send picture messages as solo texts to multiple recepients. Is their an app that will allow me to do that by default.
I have turned off settings such as send as MMS etc. The issue is picture messages are already MMS and therefore that setting does not affect it and it still sends as group.
Please help.
i typically want mine to send out as a group so never checked this on my current sms app.. but right now i'm using Textra. Has all the features I want and is very stable and reliable.
I have created contact groups (carried over from S7). I can't seem to send group text messages.
I select "messages" icon, then, "New message" icon.
My groups do not show up in the text messaging app, though it does in the phone contacts.
And even in contacts I have to choose the entire group (I can't select just a few.)
Any thoughts.
TIA
Same issue here... No "fix" from Samsung and tmoble
Same issue
Just want to add my request for any possible solution to this problem. I'm attempting to send a group text from within the actual texting app -- not leaving it to go into Contacts first -- and for some reason, groups aren't listed in the separate contacts sub-heading. Seems like a boneheaded design decision.
I spoke to Samsung about this. Apparently the ability to choose a "group" from within the messaging app was removed with the Oreo update. SMH
