iPaul I believe the people above are talking about adding a e-mail entry with each person's phone e-mail to all of your contacts and sending mass text messages through the mail app. For instance for all your AT&T contacts you'd need a e-mail like this: phonenumber@txt.att.net. I've tried this and it works. It is a pain trying to figure out which mobile service provider all of your contacts have and adding a e-mail to each contact. Also I don't really know what is the maximum number of people you can send a message to through the mail app. However, this is a viable (albeit painful) workaround until they fix this. And there is also the benefit of not having to pay for each individual text message.
