I want to give everyone I know my new number with a Mass Text. Is this possible on i-phone?
I have tried and made no progress.
Thanks a lot.
So far, no solution for that yet. It's currently not capable of multi-contact SMS.
Man, what if someone has to tell 250 people their new number?
That sucks.
I know. I can't believe they didn't add that ability. They handled more complex matters and forgot something so simple, practical, and vital.
This sounds like it might help.

We're running a beta for the iphone.
Sign up at www.group2call.com.
Add your contacts.
On your iPhone head to www.group2call.com/messagecenter/iphone
Sending SMS one way to any sized group is completely free.
Just gopt off the phone with Apple; spent about 30 minutes. Even they weren't aware of the issue.
The limit on mass texting is imposed by AT&T, not sure why.
If you go to: I Phone Home> Setting> Messages>MMS Messaging and turn "Off"; you can send mass texts (over 10) but no picture. If you want to send pics, you have to set MMS back to "on", but you can't send to more than 10 people.
Hope this helps.
I'm sure that info will help someone Forti just not the posters before you since the thread died over 2 years ago.![]()
