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?

I need to send regular texts to the same group of people every week (for 5-a-side footy) and want to set up what I would call a group. I can't seem to find anyway to set up a group in my contacts and just wondered if someone could point me in the right direction?
Cheers....

have a look at handcent in market.. great text app.
Thanks for that I'll have a look.
However first I want to see if I can create a group using the standard contacts app and then use the standard sms app to insert a group to send an sms to?
Can I do this?
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.
okay! 1st of all let me tell that I am a old win 6 and 6.5 user. Just in July, switched to the world of Android. But still expecting few things as that of my old windows mobile. These are maybe in my new phone but I failed to get it work even I tried lots of googlings!
Well I am a college student so I mostly use group messaging. In frayo I can send 20 per time but now in Gingerbread it's limited to 10. Well it's not the issue. My main issue is the threads. Whenever I send msgs to group it creates a separate group. In my win mobile the grp msgs were getting categories as a conversation with the individual in that grp.
Is there any setting or any app that can place the sent msgs to the respected buddies conversation thread instead of being at one place.
Even is there any way to find out whom I msged in the grp messaging?? Because when I send 10 sms once a time it doesn't show any details except 1st few names of the grp members. So is there any way to find out to whom I msged??
I hope you guys are getting my question.
Waiting for reply.

I think, GO Sms could help you. New message-> + contacts -> Group - there u can check your buddy's grup. U have to have defined that group before that U can do this via pc (www.google.com/contacts) or on your phone via some contacts manager.
You don't even need to define a group, in fact. You can check the contacts you wanna send it to. After that, once sent, the messages will be posted into individual contact's threads.
Downlod whatsapp with group message
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.

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.
