How do I send a group text that includes both iMessage and SMS users?

i Have an ex-iMessage user that I text quite often. How do I include them in a group text? how do I send SMS texts with my iPhone 5s?

Whether or not everyone gets the response depends solely on the person responding. i.e. you send a group text and i am one of the reciepients. From here i have two options, reply to the group text (everyone gets my reply) or i could text just you on the side (by opeining a new window in messages with just you as the reciepient) and replying to just you. Theres nothing you can do, its up to the person replying whether or not they reply to the entire group or just you seperately.

HT3529 How can a send a group text to 12 people

How can i send a group text to more than 12people and save it so i can keep as a group for future texts

In order to group text all at once, you must go to "Settings" on your iPhone, go to "Messages" and just make sure the switch "Group Messaging" is turned "ON". Then in order to group message to 12 people, those 12 people must also have a carrier that could also support group messaging (or so I was told) or maybe those 12 people should have an iPhone too. I think this may help you just a little bit on how to text with 12 other people.

HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

You can use iCloud:
Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.

After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

How do I send a group text without having to type in each contact's name?

I have the Verizon text app and have a group contact of about 30 people to whom I wish to send a group text. I tried pulling up the "contact group" that the 30 are associated with, but it does not come up. Is there any way around having to type in each name individually?

Hey there, MissyGross! I'm sure that I can help you set up a group for your messaging needs. First, I need to know which model device you have. Can you share that with me?

Text that is both centered and left aligned

I have many text frames that contain 2 or 3 paragraphs. The paragraphs need to be left aligned. However, they also need to be centered horizontally within their respective text frames (like the example on the right in the picture below). Each set of paragraphs has different lengths, so it would be tedious to have to change the indent on each one or change tabs for each one.
Is it possible to do this in InDesign CS4 without having to manually position each one?

Peter,
A table is a great idea. However, I don't think it will work in this case because of other layout considerations. I'm doing a layout that consists of picture frames and text frames. Each picture frame and text frame are grouped together. On each page I'm planning to have a large text frame that contains multiple groups of picture frames and text frames. In the image below there are 9 groups within a single text frame.The large text frames that contain all the groups are threaded to another large text frame on the next page, which also contains sets of grouped picture and text frames.
The reason for this type of layout is so that a user can insert a new picture/text frame group and all the other groups will automatically move to the right. Or, if a group is deleted, all the other groups will move to the left.
On some of the pages, there will be a different layout with large group in the lower part of the page (as in the bottom image). At this time, in the bottom image, there are 3 groups in the top row, and there is a single group in the bottom row that contains 3 sets of picture/image groups.
I am really wrestling with this layout. How the text aligns is a minor consideration. The main challenge is how to make it easy for the user to insert and delete groups of picture/text frames so that all the groups flow the way they should.
I hope I've described this understandably. I'm open to any suggestions that will make this layout easier to use.
Hi, Jay:
Pictures are worth zillions of words, didn't you hear?<G>
I'm not a designer or layout production guy, so I'm just speculating. If I understand your need to add or delete one or more picture/caption items and have others fill in, horizontal threaded frames may work. For the first page, three horizontal frames, threaded from top-right to middle-left, mid-right to bottom-left. Delete any unit and others flow back; add any unit(s) and the other flow forward - you'd need Smart Text Reflow to flow to a new page.
Something similar might work for the second page's layout.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.

I send a group text, and it makes it a MMS text. how do i send a group SMS text?

when i send a group text out, my phone shows it as a MMS text, which some can't receive. how do i send out a group SMS text?

See what happens if you go into Settings>Messages and turn off Show Subject Line. Also try turning off Group Messages---you'll still be able to text multiple people at once, definitely, I think it's just that the phone just doesn't thread replies as well (I'm not sure what Group Messages does, really).
I know that turning off those two settings fixed my friend on a basic Sprint phone getting my plain text messages as MMS, though I don't know whether it's one or both that causes the issue.
EDIT: Okay, based on this article, Group Messages is like a sort of multiple person chat room, so your recipients can easily reply to all. If you need that, then you can't fix the issue (though the comments show a bunch of ways that could go wrong).
http://www.moxiemoshow.com/group-messaging-iphone/
But you don't need the fancy chat-room feature of Group Messages to send texts to multiple people, so it depends on what kinds of texts you are sending.

Is there a way to send a group text message to more than 10 recepients?

Is it possible to send a group text message to more than 10 recipients? I called AT&T tech support and they said the phone's software limits group messages to no more than 10.

Apple does not explain why it makes the choices it does, nor will you get a response
from Apple on this forum. You can make Apple aware of your thoughts at
www.apple.com/feedback Your message will be read, but not answered.
AFAIK, there is no way to increase the limit of the native app. Use a 3rd party app if that
function is important to you. Others have expressed similar frustration in the past and
have chosen another app to fill their needs.
