Groups and contacts

ive been searching the verizon site and even talked to a representative however the question i have still has no answer, maybe you all can help. how many contacts can a single group hold? i wanted to put some people i hardly talk to all in one group is was about 145 contacts but the group did not add it when i selected done after checking all of them. this was a disappointment after all that. i know it has to be at least 20 since when you send an email/text it allows at least 20 people to be sent the same message (this may seem off topic however when you send text/email it will not have some contacts highlighted if there are to many people selected or it will not have any selected if you went way overboard say 50 people). so is there a certain number of contacts allowed per group or is this a phone issue? thanx for any help.

Group Contact (includes Family Group Contact functionality if on a multi-line account)
If you require custom groups, up to seven groups of 20 members can be created and include mobile numbers (including non-Verizon Wireless numbers), landlines, and international numbers. Quick Contact is included with Group Contact and allows you to call multiple numbers for a single contact. Once one line answers all other lines drop. With Quick Contact create up to five groups of 20 members each.

  • Remove Groups and Contacts from that Group Only

    Hi, how do I remove a group and it's contacts and making sure the contacts are removed from the ALL group as well. So after I delete the group and contacts I don't want to see and contacts that were in the group that I deleted anywhere in my Address Book at all.
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry but I just found my answer. If I want to delete the contacts from that specific group and I don't want the contacts in my address at all. Then I go to the group in question, select all the contacts in that group and hit the delete key and delete them. Then I can delete the group name. And all is good.

  • Reinstallation for IOS skype. problems with groups and contacts

    I was having a problem with Skype on my Iphone; new messages wouldn't load, and if they did it was around 10 minutes after they sent them. So I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. As soon as I logged into my account I realized most of my contacts didn't have a profile picture, nor did it have our conversations. It also got rid of all my skype groups; I still got notifications for those groups, but if I clicked on them it would bring me to a page saying that it's an empty group. Also if I get on skype on my laptop everything is fine, I still have my groups, my contacts all have pictures and our conversations are still there. I tried to reinstall it on my phone again, but this time all my groups were still gone, but different contacts wern't complete. Because I still had the contacts I tried to send a message on of my contacts that didn't have a profile picture and although it said it sent, I never got a reply. So I got on my laptop and asked if he got it, and he said he didn't.  Is anyone else haing this problem? If so do you know how to fix it? Thank you

    Ok I just talked to support via chat and apparently this is a known iPhone mobile App issue.  This is exactly what he said to me: "I was informed that this issue already have a ticket to our engineers and they are already working on this one. This has something to do with the latest version of Skype for tablets and mobiles.  We may release another version of Skype app so once an update is avaialble, update the app on your phone ASAP." Hope this ease some frustration.

  • Restore groups and contacts from backup

    I seem to have lost all my addressbook information, ie addressbook is blank. I do have a recent clone of my mac. How do I go about restoring all my groups / contacts back into addressbook using either my clone or time machine?

    The bookmarks are kept in a file called Bookmarks.plist contained in ~user/Library/Safari. Copying this plist from your backup will also restore the bookmarks you added to the Bookmarks bar. If you customized the buttons on the toolbar, then in Safari go to View > Customize Address Bar and you can drag any of the buttons onto the toolbar.

  • How do I restore Groups to Contacts from time machine?

    How do I restore groups to Contacts using time machine?  I somehow managed to duplicate many groups and contacts in Contacts, so I deleted everything and tried to restore them using time machine backup  from a few days before.  It restored all my contacts, but none of my groups.  If you select a group and click restore it will restore all the contacts in the group, but not the group itself.  I had many groups with many contacts in each and would really prefer not to do this manually.  I can see the groups in the time machine backup, but cannot figure out how to restore them.  I know from researching online that with Address Books and previous operating systems you could go to ~Library/Applications Support/AddressBook  and restore the whole file, but either this operating systems hides the necessary files or Contacts is set up differently than AddressBook was.  I am using OS 10.9.5 and Contacts version 8.0 on a MacbookPro 13 inch mid 2010.

    Here is what I have tried:
    1. Finder>Go>(Option)Library>Address Book(highlighted)with files showing in right column. Opened Time Machine and Address Book folder is there. Tried to go back to several previous dates from several months ago. None will highlight in order for the Restore button to light up.
    2. Finder>Mac HD (under Devices)>(Option)Library>Address Book (same as above). Again, cannot go anywhere back in time to highlight a date for Restore button to light up.
    Note: I was able to use Time Machine to restore my Contacts with no problem. However, they are All Contacts only and did not restore my Groups. I do know how to make groups again and highlight and drag them back, but wanted to see if there was a way to restore the groups. I will post another question as to why my Time Machine won't let me restore the Address Book as well as the Contacts. Thank you for your time and patience.

    Please helps, this cannot be the hardest of requests

    If this address book group is available with your Live Mail online address book and you don't want the group available on your iPhone, you need to delete the group from your Live Mail online address book. The group can't be deleted from the iPhone, but contacts can. Since groups and contacts are kept synchronized between the two, even if you could delete the group from your iPhone the group would be deleted from your Live Mail online address book as well.

    Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

    I just posted this fix to another thread and thought it might be useful to post to all of the threads I read trying to fix the problem. Here it is:
    Having the same issue over here with Mavericks 10.9.1 on a new Macbook Pro/Retina. Just now found a workaround/fix/whatever:
    - click on your group in the group pane of the address panel
    - click anywhere in the name pane and select all (command + a)
    - click the "To:" or "Cc:" or "Bcc:" tab right above the group pane at the top of the address panel window.
    The names of all of the individuals in the group will appear as an expanded list in whatever field you clicked. It takes a second or two to happen.

    I just purchased an Iphone and love it except I'm surprised and annoyed that there is no way to create a group within contacts.  I coach a youth basketball team and routinely want to fire off a mass email or text to the same group. Am I missing something?

    When I click on my contacts icon on my phone there is a Groups choice in the upper left hand corner. Make sure you are in All Contacts and not a specific person.

  • Add contacts to address group and they disappear

    I have a Macbook Pro with the old operating system.  I am attempting to put together email groups and am having trouble.  When I am in an open email and highlighting the name, I click on the down arrow and add sender to address book.  The name does not appear in my address book and the option to add to address book is gone.
    Also, once I add a group to my contacts, how can I send an email to everyone in the group and how can I do so without showing everyone's email address?

  • Apparently when I send to a Group of Contacts they can all see every email address and this is not acceptable how do I avoid that

    I need to send to a group of about 50 parents. Their addresses are held in a Group of Contacts. I highlight the group name to distribute a message to all of them and what I am being told is that they can then all see every email address. This is not acceptable as many do not want their email address being made public in this way. Surely this should not happen or at least there should be a way to avoid it.

    re: and I quote "they can then all see every email address. This is not acceptable "
    I showed you the basic method of sending a group as Bcc - which is what you initially asked for.
    As you now specify that not only do you want to know how to use Bcc but every email needs to be personalised - not just distributing a message to all of them, then I would agree with Matt and advise you use Mail Merge. This creates separate emails - not a bulk email to several recipients, so using a TO field will only send to that person - other people will not see other email addresses.
    Matt has offered the link.
    Here is some more info regarding Mail Merge.
    '''How to install Add-ons:'''
    download the .xpi file to your computer eg: desktop or downloads folder.
    In Thunderbird
    'Tools' > 'Add-ons' OR 'Menu Icon' > 'Add-ons'
    click on the gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
    see first image below as aid.
    locate the file you downloaded and click on 'Open'
    You may need to restart Thunderbird.
    Mail Merge will appear in the list.
    see second image below.
    '''How to set up a Template emails for Mail Merge:'''
    Create a Template email, which contains the 'personalised' sections.
    see example - third image below.
    I set the Subject as 'Mail Merge' so it is easily identifiable.
    Save it as a Template email.
    It will get stored in the 'Templates' folder. If you do not see a Templates folder, this is auto created when you create the first email and store as template.
    '''When you want to use Mail Merge.'''
    Select the Template folder.
    Select the 'Mail Merge' template
    either double click on the email in the list or right click on email and select 'Edit as new message'
    you can then change the Subject and compose or edit the message - but do not change the sections in the curly brackets - the point of saving this as a template saves you from typing it each time.
    'File ' > 'Mail Merge' (see third image)
    This will open a new small window
    see the fourth image below.
    I would suggest you use 'Send Later' option . this will put all the emails in your Outbox, but it does allow you to check the email is correct - or do spot checks. Then you can choose to send them all in one go.
    Right click on 'Outbox' folder and select 'Send unsent messages'.
    Hope this info helps you.
    As you are new to Thunderbird, you may or maynot have managed to locate all your toolbars.
    The fifth image shows you how to enable all toolbars to make life much easier.
    In addition some very useful info on maintaining a healthy Thunderbird and all about compacting- what it does and why it is important.

  • Using "Groups" within "Contacts", Messages and Mail

    Why did Apple change in IOS 6 how you now view groups in contacts? Before it was easy, but now it's just plain stupid. Did anybody check this before it was released?
    Before when I selected the group I wanted it would then display who was in that group. Now in order to see who is in the group I have to go to groups, de-select the groups I don't want to see and then go back to then view the group/s that are remaining..... dumb dumb dumb. That is dumb! How did this ever get by the review process?
    And still you can't send texts by selecting a group, you still have to add each recipient individually and no more than eight recipients. The same goes for mail as well when it comes to adding a group (you can't). Apple, this really can't be that hard to do.... come on, this is suppose to be easy and not tedious.
    There's certainly nothing "World Class" about this.

    Boblive77,
    iTunes usese SyncServices to gather the information on what is available, and to syn the information over.
    Often reseting sync history will resolve issues like this. The following article has more information on how to reset sync history:

  • Who got this brilliant idea when you want to pick up a contact to first cross the group and then click end ? Did you hire an employee  from Microsoft ? Apple MUST remain SIMPLE to use !!!

    Who got this brilliant idea and change thing that way :  when you want to pick up a contact on your iphone, you first have to cross the group and then click end ? Did you hire an employee from Microsoft ? Apple MUST remain SIMPLE to use !!!

    Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that.  If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.
