I've made a group of contacts in the people app. I want to send a text message to all those people, but I can't add the group in the recipient box in the messages app. What's the purpose of having contact groups if you can't send anything to the whole group at once? i'm using CM10. I know handcent sms has this feature, but that app is ugly as hell. Is it possible to do this in the native messages app?
Try go sms.

Is there a way to setup SMS or Email Distrbution Groups with the XDAII.
I used to use Simple SMS with a IPAQ5550 and found the capability to send an SMS to an entire category or group of contacts invaluable.
Any Ideas????
Hello There!!
Is there any addon, or utility, that first, lets you send any contact you have as an SMS message? and second something that lets you select multiple contacts for sms sending?
All the best,

Hi, just got my Nexus 4 but I can't work out how to send a text to a group? Am I missing something? I used to be able to do this in my old Symbian phone.
I can add contacts individually but text type changes to MMS which costs extra so I don't want to do that and the group I created doesn't show up in the messaging screen. I set up a group with 21 contacts so I'd rather be able to add the group than individually add them each time and send it as a SMS.
Group messaging works as a MMS - you can turn that off and it will send out 21 SMS messages which isn't group messaging. Go into the settings screen and turn off Group Messaging.
You can not send to a group with the normal SMS app, maybe Handsent or GoSMS can do that.

You can SMS directly to a group

Any way possible ?? I see enable Lmao for group messaging in 8sms and textra but when people reply to my group text it comes back in individual texts, anybody successful with threaded group messaging?thanks
Is there a way in the stock messaging app, or is there a specific messaging app available in the play store where I could:
Draft a txt and then send to multiple recipients without each recipient being able to see the other? Basically the same thing as sending an email to multiple people via BCC option.
Would be handy for business purposes. I don't care if they see my contact. I just don't want them to see eachothers contact since not everyone I'd send to would know the other (and/or want their contact information shared).
Obviously I could copy and paste the same message to multiple people via individual txt msgs... but being able to send a group txt would be way more efficient.
Thanks!
If you go into the settings of the messaging app there should be an option to group text messages as MMS. Just uncheck that. At least that's how it works with hangouts for SMS.
