How to set up text distribution list

I found out how to set up an email distribution list without buying an app but now I need to know how to do the same with sending texts, without buying an app and by associating a contact to it. I don't want to send a group text and only access that group by pulling up the text screen. All I want to do is assign a few numbers to a group name and use that group name to send a next message to the recipients. Any ideas?

Since a phone number field in Contacts does not have the ability to delineate between numbers, probably not. Theoretically, I suppose it could work if applied for recipients getting iMessages AND using email as the receive address, but hard to say. But for SMS texting, no.

  • How do I set up a distribution list with multiple email addresses?

    I can't figure out how to do this - I am a .mac member and really have no idea how to use the desktop mail function but I am assuming that I need to set up the distribution list in mail since I can't find anywhere to do it on .mac.
    I am really sorry for this lame question - is it a problem with my ISP (sbc) or is it my operating system - 10.3.9?

    Welcome to the discussions, CassC.
    You may need to re-post in the pre-Tiger mail forum.
    But what I THINK you need to do is use your Address Book, and make a group. Add to the group (by selecting, dragging and dropping) the contacts you need in the distribution list. Now in Mail use the name of the group in the To: or Cc: or Bcc: field to send them all mail.

  • IPhone 4 - Text distribution lists?

    Hi all
    First post on here, and apologies if this has already been discussed but can't find it anywhere. Any idea if the iPhone 4 enables users to create text distribution lists? I've seen the comments regarding how to get around the problem for the 3GS, but not seen this mentioned for the iPhone 4, and if I'm honest this is a big thing for me getting a phone. I'm a sports coach with various teams and age groups all needing information and hope Apple have finally added this option as has been on several models of the BB for some time. I'm after a change though
    All the best
    Ricky

    Thanks for the prompt response. Would imagine it's a relatively easy thing to integrate considering the 'FaceTime' and retina display they have included, so it's a shame if they haven't added it

  • Any ideas of how to set up a meal list in Numbers?

    Hey.
    I just got Numbers and I love it. This app is great.
    Does anyone have an idea of how to set up a meal list for a family in Numbers? I used to use TextEdit to type the meals in, separated with hard returns. It was one long list. I'd like to use someething a little more robust.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Ashka.
    Thanks, that's giving me some ideas. Sometimes I overcomplicate my thought process, only to streamline it once I've gotten the big picture. Your idea looks very close to what I can use.
    In the meantime, I made two weeks worth of breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas. That helped me tremendously. I made a grocery list, based loosely off of the menu template, as Johnny mentioned above. It has an ingredient column (that lists all of the things that I would purchase), Have it column (with checkboxes. I'm sure that I'll be able to sort by that, later), Quantity (how many or much I'll need), How sold (pound, box, can, pieces...), Price, Estimate, and Store (you like the check boxes, I LOVE the selection menus! I set the cells in this column to have a list of the stores that I shop from. When I get to a particular item I choose the store from the selection menu. I love it!).
    Thanks for the help!

  • How do I email a distribution list in Entourage?

    I would like to share some of my distribution lists with friends.
    How can I email the distribution list? I can't drag a group icon into the mail message like in Outlook.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Jeremy

    Thanks. I was hoping to find something other than Groups, because when you sync with a mobile device, it maps the groups to Categories in the device. This adds a lot of complexity to data and many mobile devices have some limitations on categories.
    But thanks for the quick response!

  • How to send mail to distribution list and another table list

    Hi
    I am facing a problem. I need to send mail to the user who is creating the SO/PO and a distribution list.
    Problem is only one thing can be used at the same time. ie either Distribution list or list from internal table.
    How can we use both in 1 function module. Like it should call the internal table and then the distribution list for sending the mail .

  • How to add an SAP distribution list to transport?

    Hi All,
    I have created a shared distribution list in SAP using SO15. Can anyone suggest me how to add this list to a transport? or I need to create this in each environment.
    Please suggest on this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Prady

    What does that mean? So I have to create it in each environment(i.e. Development/Quality/Production) explicitly. By no means I can transport this list then?
    Thanks for your quick response.
