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?

TS3899 How do I send a group email and not have to select each person

How do I send a group email without having to select each person separately

Hi Blair
You dont need to use a server, but you will probably need a group emailing app of some sort to help you.
There are a number of apps available on the App Store. Most will only let you send email from inside their own app, but MailShot Pro uniquely creates special contacts that you can use right from the Mail app, and tens of thousands of compatible apps, building group email right in.
You can find the app at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailshot-pro-group-email-done/id445996226?ls=1&m t=8, a free version is also available, which can only create a few, smaller groups, but can be upgraded.

jlabianco, we want sending group messages to be easy breezy for you! Make sure that you've set up groups for your contacts on your device by tapping People> Groups>Tap the Plus sign to start a new group>Choose the contacts that you want in that group.
Once the group is set up in "People," you will just need to tap People>tap the Group> Tap the menu at the top right corner> Send Message. Keep us posted.

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.

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.

How do I send a group text and not have everyone else get the responses

How do I send a group text and not have everyone else get the responses? Thx

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.

How do i send a group email without showing recipient names?

hi
i would like to ask how do i send a group email without showing recipient names - without using bcc!
i have seen that peple send group emails and only the only info that appers is the: from and to emails are the same as the sender email.
how do i do that?
isnt there any app for Gmail to do that?
i am using gmail
thank you

If you address the email to yourself and then put all your recipients in the bcc it appears to each recipient as if they got your email. In other words they will not see anyone else's name or even their own name - just yours.

Is there a way I can copy an auto signature automatically into my contacts without having to type a new contact myself?

Is there a way I can copy an auto signature from an automatically into my contacts without having to type a new contact myself?

You don't buy an unlocked phone. You buy a Verizon iPhone at full retail. I just did this myself last month. I paid full retail for the phone and activated it on my plan. This allowed me to get a new phone before I was eligible to upgrade and keep my unlimited data. I also got a good deal on trading in my iPhone 5.
You can buy the phone through Verizon or through Apple. If you buy it through Apple, I'd suggest that you not have them activated but do that yourself by logging into your account on your computer.
Best of luck.

How to Download a batch of files without having to click on each file

I installed download helper and when i watch a video there are alot of files playing how do i download all of them without having to click on every file in the helper drop down box

anthony siciliano had this to say:
I use Smugmug for my photo website. To upload photos to that site, I must convert my PSD files to JPGs and limit the file size of each photo to 12 MB.
Almost all photo sites impose a size limit on each photo. Sometimes the
size amount varies. 12M is a lot ...
Since I am now shooting with a 21 megapixel camera, most of the photo files are over 12 MB when converted to JPGs (many are in the 20 MB range).
Usually, the size is dependent on the dimensions you choose, and the
resolution. If you limit your photos to approx 1024x768 with a
resolution of 72 dpi (which is pretty standard for screen-only
resolution), you'll find that your photo file sizes will be much
reduced. Are you sure you need the resolution or size that you are
using? If you're not selling prints (perhaps you are), then using a
smaller, screen resolution only version will help.
Is there a way to convert a batch of photos from PSD files to JPGs and limit the file size of each photo to 12 MB? Thanks!!

The LR2Mogrify plugin can do that, I believe.

How do i send a group email without entering each name

how do I send group emails without entering each seperate? The groups I created in gmail don't show in my contacts on phone

Hi Nancy,
The other poster has only given a partial answer, so I thought I'd better post as its now something of a specialist subject for me.
Groups in your device are a means to group together all your contacts for friends, work colleagues etc. in your address book. they are normally created in a Mac or Windows PC address book and synched across. However your device can't send email to everyone in those groups at once using the default apps. (The reason Apple chose to do this is probably that contacts can have one, many or no email addresses, so there isnt a direct relationship between these groups and how you'd want to email them.)
There are a number of apps available which let you define groups and send email to them inside a custom app, this works well but you can only send mail to groups from inside their app, so you can only include attachment types they have thought of, and have no means to forward a received email with attachments to a group.
The only app that takes a different approach is our MailShot app, this creates special group contacts in your address book. They can be used to send email to a MailShot group from inside your favourite apps, just like it was built into the iPhone. By using them in Mail you can forward emails to a group of people, with attachments intact, or by using them from a different app, like GoodReader or Google Maps, you can send whatever attachments those apps create.
Mailshot will be back in the App store next week, free to try with an in-app upgrade available to increase the number of groups and contacts it handles.

HT1418 I am having trouble syncing my iphone5 with my contacts on my PC. I have over 350 contacts and it will only syncing 30 of them. What should I do to resolve this without having to manually load each contact please help

I am having trouble syncing my iPhone5 with my PC computer. It is only syncing and transferring 50 contacts were as I have over 350 contacts. I have followed the step by step procedure with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve otherwise I will have manually load each number individually please help.

Any errors?
What application are the contacts stored in?

I'm trying to send a group text but the recipient automatically defaults to send to their email.

I'm trying to send a group text, but when I type in someones name, it automatically defaults to email. It doesn't even give me the option to a choose phone number. It only does with certain contacts. Also, when a message doesn't go through, usually there is a red try again spot I can click, but when I click it, it only gives me the option to send as an email not text.

99% chance you don't have the phone number in your contacts correctly. Make sure there is an area code, etc.
