Sending SMS to all of my contacts

Hello people,
I wish to send a text message (SMS) to all of my contacts. My contact list is about 2000, so I guess I will need a software in order to send a message to all of them, because if I am not mistaken if using the MS software for msgs, will crash the phone as will try to load all msgs to memory.
Any of you who knows how to solve my problem, or knows a software? Please....
Thank you in advance.

Another forum member - t0flus - posted an application called "Group SMS" which may do what you're after....I'm presuming you could send the message group by group (if your contacts are in groups?).
The program can be found by searching for "Group SMS" or by clicking >HERE<.
I've not tried t0flus' program myself, but I'm certain that throwing 2000 contacts at the standard MS SMS program will kill it!!
Hope that helps!

That is exactly what I was doing using my Nokia 7610, but I thought I would be able to find a software that would "do the grouping" automatically for me.
Thank you anyhow.
You see, I just think that a software can send for example 10 - 10 text messages, until all of it is sent and then display a message say sent to all or something like that.

Maybe try getting a PC program like Jeyo Mobile Commander and using that to send the SMS? It drags a list of contacts and messages over via ActiveSync and you can use the app to send SMSes, backup/restore your SMS inbox, backup/restore your contacts etc... I've sent SMSes from it before when I've been too lazy to pick my phone up

Here's another Group SMS app that allows you to choose one or more Contact Groups to send a text message. Works in a different way to the other app mentioned here and one or the other might suit your application better.

Great! Thank you people... I will try, and I hope that one of those will help me do it by the press of one buttons, because you have no idea how difficult and annoying it is to have to split your contacts to hundreds and send them that way.

I don't mean the telephone number of the receipient. I mean the telephone number of the service provider. This is the number that you have when you go to start/setting/personal/phone, then go to the services tab, and the number that you see in Voice Mail and Text Messages.
I once experinced the same problem using someone's perpaid phone card in another country trying to send out sms messages, only to find out that the last digit of the telephone number in that setting was accidentally erased by him, hence there was no way for me to send SMS messages using his SIM card.

The solution is simple and crazy .. for some reason its really stupid for the OS to expect what it expects us to do..
Solution :: Keep your Data Connection ON when you send the message and yes wifi wont work ..It needs data connection.. why ... I don't know ..

Thanks for that, but my Data connection is always on??

Think I`ve sorted it now, I had to change my carrier settings!! now it seems to be able to send to multiple recipients.
Just got to wait for Camera/Flash sync to be sorted then jobs a guddun.

[Q] How to transfer SMS/MMS to another phone

Hi all,
I have aquestion and couldn't find any reply on this forum: Does anyone know how to configure a transfer of all my incoming SMS/MMS to another number?
FYI: I got a new phone from my job and don't need to carry my Defy+ around with me all the time anymore. I set up a call transfer to receive incoming calls on the new phone but it doesn't work for messages.
What I'm looking to do is basically the same thing as setting up a rule on your e-mail to transfer everything to a second address. If I'm not clear please let me know and I'll explain.
thanks !

Anyone?

Try any sms forwarding app in play store. for eg. SMS FORWARDER (sorry, n00bs can't post links)

but every fwd msg will cost you...
you could also provide your contacts with the new number

Try SMS backup +. Can't restore MMS, but can transfer sms to other phone.

You can use Myphoneexplorer. It works well.

Turn off notification in the stock sms settings and set shady as your default sms app.

Come on... You remove all of my posts... Shady sms is a secret app or private space... They must be default but in g3 they cant... Do you understand? My problem is it...

Come again?
Semantics gave you an answer which is correct, unless your question was something else? As you said yourself, your English is sometimes a bit hard to read.
You can choose which SMS app should be your default, but they'll all receive notification about incoming SMS'es. If you don't wish for more than one of them to notify you, you'll have to disable that within that app's config.
(Alternatively, root your phone and simply freeze the SMS facility you don't want to be using.)
