Is there an application or some other way to make mass text **groups**???

[Vinn]

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but here is my problem, any help finding a solution would be HUGE!!

I need to text the same 30 people 3-4 times per week for my business.. is there any application or any way I can save a list or group of people to text to without having to click the + button and add them one at a time?

E-mailing will not do, they need to be texts

Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it as I have been scouring the internet for a while now looking for an answer, hopefully someone on this site knows! :smile:

you can add ad many people or SMS recievers as u want to a MSG and then just reuse that MSG every time u want to send mass msgs.

I also heard that if you have a Mac you can do Groups from your Mac and then the iPhone will recognize the Group from your phone. Then you can text whole groups. I have never owned a Mac though so I can't verify this.

For me, I just go through the select-one-at-a-time hell one time and then use that conversation to message the same people each time, like Bone mentioned above. This kinda sucks though if you want to remove or add a person to that long list. You have to actually do a whole new message and click through everyone one at a time again...

By the way, the SMS.app deserves an update, the only updates it has ever gotten were the ability to text multiple people and the inbox limit expansion from 1,000 to 75,000, and those were like a year ago.

Thanks for the info, I have been doing this for the past couple of days and it works well but when you're dealing with these giant lists, adding/removing a person can be a pain. There's gotta be an APP out there somewhere or someone that has the ability to make one!

Are you willing to jailbreak? I think iRealSMS and MySMS do templates, which is exactly what you're looking for. Also, SMSD was a program from last year that did this wonderfully but I think its development was discontinued and doesn't work on 2.x.x, as far as I know. Worked great though (see here http://amrut.joshi.googlepages.com/)
