Grouping contacts based on filter
I receive SMS alerts from work that are sent in the format:
sms-[my name]+[random string]@workdomain.com
Now, the "sms-[my name]" part of it is the same every time an SMS alert is sent, but the [random string] changes every time. It's about 15 characters long and is a random string of numbers and letters.
The problem is that each time one of these is received, it is considered a new notification on the phone. Would there be any way to add a contact to my phone that could catch all of these SMS messages so they are listed under one "Contact" and only show up once under Messages (and I could assign a custom alert tone for it)?
Thanks!
Sorry, no. This has been asked before, & there is no way to do what you want on an iPhone.

Group contacts in Symbian address book (E66)
I'm getting annoyed by the fact that all contacts that belongs to any group contacts are still visible in the address book's "main tree".
I want the usual single contacts visible as they always are and contacts in groups not visible at all at the main contacts list. Contacts included in groups would only be seen in the group contact menu.
The issue is simple but little hard to explain. Contacts included in any group would not be visible among the usual contacts in address book?
Is there any workaround to solve this or any better third party contact application, perhaps?Mail doesn't have a separate SPAM filter as such, not unless I've completely missed something. How are these emails begin marked as SPAM? Are they arriving with the word "SPAM" somewhere in the subject or body? If so, that's being added by your mail server's SPAM filter, not by Mail, so you'd have to address the issue with your mail service provider.

How can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?
HOw can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?
I Don't know if you can or not.
but you could try one if these 2 things:
-under a new contact in name type the names of the people. Next, I'm not sure if this will work, but for phone just put a different hone down.
-Also tou could just make a group message. In messages just type all the names in the to field after you tap compose. -
Can I send a text to a "group" contact without selecting each individual member?
Can I send a text to a "group" contact without selecting each individual member? I have a group formed in my contacts, but I still have to select each member in that group to send a text or email from my phone.
There are apps that allow you to address sms messages to groups (such as Speed Names: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speed-names-contacts-groups/id285124918?mt=8), but not iMessages. Perhaps this will change with a future iOS update.
The only point of having them at the moment is to allow you to limit the view to only contacts belonging to a group, so that you can more easily add the individual members of the group. But at the present time, you still have to add them individually. -

You can create your groups on your computer and sync them on your iPhone. Or you can use an application. I developped Easy Group, to manage group of contacts, and send group texts and group emails.

I am trying to set up a group contact for my golf league, but can't find a way to do this on the iphone
That's because you can't. You make the contact group on the computer application with which you're synching your contacts. Or you can find an app in the app store.

How do I create a group contact list for emails?

In Address Book, File/New/Mailing List, name the list and close it, then add contacts to the list by dragging them from an address book and dropping onto the list icon in the directory (left) pane. -
How do i create a group contact on iphone4
Hi, how do I create a group contact on the iPhone 4 when sending group text and group emails?
Hi
600 for my work
Note that many email providers place limits on how many people you can address with a single email. 100 contacts is a typical limit (for iCloud.com, Gmail.com etc.) In that case no app will let you send a single email to that many contacts at once, and you should consider an online service such as mailchimp.com
If your groups are less than 100, or your provider does not impose a limit, I'd like to suggest our "MailShot Pro" app, which has been one of the top-selling group email apps for over a year. Unlike most other group email apps, it creates special contacts for your groups which you can then use directly from Mail, and tens of thousands of other compatible apps. Over 250,000 people are now using it, and it is always ranked highly in search results for group email apps.
You can find it on the App Store here:MailShot Pro
A free version is also available, for creating a few small groups. MailShot (Note that certain other apps marketed as "free" will similarly only let you send to small groups without an upgrade)

IPad Group Contacts are not appearing in itunes
I have a Group Contacts app on my ipad mini that syncs with the contacts on my iPad. I created 4 groups. I want to import those groups into Outlook. I tried opening up icloud, select all, export. Only the 1st contact in that particular group is exported. I then deleted and reinstalled itunes and my groups are not appearing.
Have had same problem and read many different posts on the discussion boards. Came to my own sort of hybrid solution that's posted below:
Backup address book.
Turn off syncing to iPhone within iTunes, and then hit Apply to make sure it takes.
Quit Address Book, iTunes, and basically everything.
Go to Finder > Library > Application Support > Address Book … move all folders out of there EXCEPT the Metadata folder.
Go to Finder > Library > Application Support > Sync Services … move everything out of there.
Reboot computer.
Open address book.
Open iTunes, connect iPhone, and sync.
NOTE: I had to play with these steps, and their order, several times to force iTunes to properly reflect what’s in the address book/contacts, but after about the sixth time it worked.
