IPhone 5 iOS7 - Sending text to multiple recipients.

I have recently upgraded from my trusty iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 5 with iOS7. The phone is locked to the UK O2 Network.
When abroad multiple recipient text could be sent incurring a European Text Message Cost of 6p per recipient. So far so good. Idid not use data when I was abroad as I had the Roaming option off.
When back in the UK I tried to send Multiple Recipeint texts only to find there was a problem.
The recipeint received a message saying that I had sent them a Media Message without the text being included. I incurred a 33p cost per multiple text instead od the texts being free.
I have never paid for texts before as I am on an unlimited text tariff.
Any suggestions other than sending each text individually.
O2 seem to be aware of this issue.
Is it an iOS7 issue, or an iPhone 5 issue?
This was never a problem with my iPhone 3GS.
Many thanks.

I have just read this on the Apple Site:
"iOS: Understanding group messaging
Learn about group messaging.
You can send a message to multiple recipients using SMS, MMS, and iMessage.
Group messaging allows you to send messages to multiple people and have any responses delivered to everyone in the group. Group messaging works with iMessage and MMS.
If you send a message to multiple recipients without group messaging in use by the sender and all recipients, an individual message will go to each recipient using either SMS or MMS. Responses to these messages will be delivered only to the original sender in separate messaging threads."
This would suggest that Multiple Recipient Text do not necessarily need MMS.
It would seem that unless MMS is prevented then Multiple Recipient Texts will default to MMS.
I have switched off data and have been able to send Multiple Recipient Texts which the recipient has been able to read as texts.

  • Question regarding sending email to multiple recipients

    Hi All,
    I am creating a workflow that will send an email notification everytime a new campaign is created. I've learned that R16 is capable of sending emails to multiple recipients, the only concern I have is I can't find any doumentation on how to do it. It is stated in the R16 Administrator Preview Guide that you can select 'Specific Email Address' and enter multiple email addresses directly, I tried to enter multiple email addresses separated by comma - [email protected],[email protected],[email protected] as an example, but it doesn't work and prompts me to enter a valid email address. Could anybody guide me on how to enter multiple email addresses once the 'Specific Email Address' is selected or how to do it in the expression builder to define the expression that will define the list of emails. I know that using group email addresses can be used as an alternative to this requirement but I hope theirs a way to do this with workflows.
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    According to the R16 Admin preview guide;-
    "Send Email to Multiple Recipients
    Expression Builder is now linked to the email address text field that is presented when the Specific Email Address
    option is selected. Workflow administrators can enter multiple email addresses directly, or click the "fx" icon
    beside the field, and use Expression Builder to define expressions that evaluate to one or more email addresses.
    The benefit of this feature is that emails can be stored on any text field in the base record and multiple emails can
    be sent using one workflow action. "
    But how that works exactly is not clear, I have tried commas, semi-colons, spaces, apostrophes, doublequotes, to separate and try to establish the correct syntax without luck.
    Bob - Perhaps you can do some digging and find out the correct syntax for multiple addresses?

  • On OnPremise, Sending email to multiple recipients doesn't work with SendEmail method

    Hi,
    We are creating a site collection on OnPremise from App by using Sharepoint Client API's (16 version).
    After creation of site collection, we are sending an email to all site collection administrators. But we found that email is being sent to the only first person mentioned in the "To" list. For sending email we are using following method "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail()".
    We tried different scenarios by passing alternately domain username and email address.
    Here are the findings for the different scenarios for the "To" field:
    1) "domain\user1; domain\user1" => sends email to first user
    2) "[email protected]; [email protected]" => sends email to both emails (at least shows in inbox To field, two occurances of email)
    3) "domain\user1; domain\user2" => sends email to first user
    4) "[email protected]; [email protected]" => sends email to first user
    Here is the code we are using:
                    EmailProperties properties = new EmailProperties();
                    properties.To = to.ToList();
                    if (cc != null)
                        properties.CC = cc;
                    properties.Subject = subject;
                    properties.Body = body;
                    Utility.SendEmail(context, properties);
                    context.ExecuteQuery();
    Please let us know what is going wrong here.
    Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

  • Why will my Iphone 5 not send texts after update to OS7?

    After upgrading to OS7 for the Iphone 5 stop sending texts.  It indicates they send but they do not.  I put the sim card in another Iphone still running OS6 and the messages send.

    I'm having the same problem.  90% of my texts aren't being sent.  This was never a problem before I updated to iOS7.  Is there no solution for this?

  • Can't send emails to multiple recipients any more?

    Yesterday I had to send an email to some 30 other people (I only do this occasionally).
    It refused to go and I received this error message:-
    I have several email accounts but each one was the same.
    At that time I could not even send single emails but incoming emails were unaffected.
    Later in the day I received this email from my ISP mail account.
    Your emails may be blocked – please confirm your alternate BT Yahoo! Mail addresses
    Dear Customer,
    You’ve received a ‘553’ error message because we’ve upgraded your BT Yahoo! Mail account security to help protect against ‘spoofing’ – when people use alternate email addresses to disguise the real sender, possibly to commit fraud.
    What you need to do
    We need you to take a few minutes to confirm each of the BT Yahoo! Mail alternate email addresses you use are genuine. If you don’t, you might get more ‘553’ error messages and have problems sending emails. Just log in and follow these simple steps. We don’t ask for any personal information.
    This is rubbish and I had a similar one last year which I ignored, as the simple steps were far from simple, and the following morning all was back to normal.
    So I ignored this email and tried again this morning.
    I was still unable to send emails to multiple recipients but now I can send single emails OK!
    Any ideas what is going on?
    Is it Mail's fault or my ISP's?

    From the error message, it looks like there was a problem with at least one of the addresses ("NONE"). It is possible that a bad address is in the list you tried to send to.
    I don't know anything about BT Internet, so I can't confirm the authenticity of the email you received.
    You should be able to log into your BT account directly from the web without using any links sent in the email.
    The email also seems to indicate you used an alias as the reply-to (from) email address.
    You didn't mask out the username for your smtp server and it is definitely different from the from account. This may all be normal, but it does tend to match what the email is telling you.

  • Error while sending email to Multiple Recipients

    Hi,
    I am trying to send email to multiple recipients .It works fine if all the email-addresses are valid. If even one is invalid throws exception .I wish to send it all the valid addresses even if some are invalid as this email will be going to 3000 users some of them will be wrong addresses.
    Help is greatly appreciated.
    -ksg
    Exception thrown:
    Exception in SendEmail.setAddress as :javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;
    nested exception is:
    javax.mail.SendFailedException: 550 <[email protected]>... User unknown
    Here is the main piece of code:
    message.saveChanges();
    Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
    transport.connect("myhost", "", "");
    transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
    transport.close();

    Hi there,
    Well I find the easiest way is to use a comma delimited string with the following bit of code.
    msg.setRecipients(
    addrType,
    InternetAddress.parse(smtpAddress, false));
    addrType will be TO,CC or BCC
    smtpAddress is a comma delimited string that I get from the results of a SQL Select request (looks something like "[email protected],[email protected],....,....,...."
    The boolean false is to prevent the parse checking the validity of the SMTP addresses as I prefer to deal with this by letting the SMTP server tell me which addresses are no good.
    Hope this helps,
    SH

So people are telling me they are texting me but I have not received them and they are telling me that I am sending mesages from my email. Please Help!

    Tip: You can un-check your emails if you don't want to send or receive using your email.

  • Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?

    Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?  This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information.  iPhone 4 worked just fine.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.
    Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

    You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in.  However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work.  That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important.  There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.

  • How do I send mail to multiple recipients?

    I am running Mavericks 10.9.5.  I am having trouble sending mail to multiple recipients.  I type in the first person’s name and the e-mail address appears.  When I want to send mail to 2 more people, I can’t.  I type a comma and then a space and then the second person’s name.  All that appears is a duplication of the first person’s name.  I did not have this kind of trouble when I was running OS X, version 10.6.8.  I could type the names of all recipients in the “To”
    line.  What can I do?

  • N8 sending SMS to multiple recipients as MMS?

    If I send an SMS text message to multiple recipients it is being sent as an MMS. Since MMS is not included in my PAYG "goodybag", it's costing me a fortune!
    I can't find this in the user guide anywhere. Can I turn it off?
    many thanks

    While you writing a text message, if you don't add anything photos or smileys (sometimes smileys may have counted as .gif s ), it must be sent as text messages. Or if you choose a recipent that have no phone number but a mail adress, it sends texts to mail adresses as MMS.
    Another thing to consider is to check again messaging centers.

  • How to Improve Design for HTML, Plain Text and Multiple Recipients?

    Hello there,
    JavaMail programming is so fun! I first start off mixing the JavaMail code inside a servlet and then refactored it to two separate classes.
    Mailer is the independent class which uses JNDI to look up config parameters, sends e-mails, and then closes the connection with the protocol.
    public class Mailer {
         private Session mailSession;
         protected void sendMsg(String email, String subject, String body)
         throws MessagingException, NamingException {
              Properties props = new Properties();
              InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(props);
              Session mailSession = (Session) ictx.lookup("java:/Mail");
              String username = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.user");
              String password = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.password");
              MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
              message.setSubject(subject);
              message.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,
                        javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.parse(email, false));
              message.setText(body);
              message.saveChanges();
              Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtps");
              try {
                   transport.connect(username, password);
                   transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
                   Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).warn("Message sent");
              finally {
                   transport.close();
    }MailController is just a simple Java servlet where a Mailer object is instantiated and a String is passed inside the Mailer.sendMsg() method.
    public class MailController extends HttpServlet {
         /** static final HTML setting for content type */
         private static final String HTML = "text/html";
         myapp/** static final HTML setting for content type */
         private static final String PLAIN = "text/plain";
         public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
         throws ServletException, IOException {
              doPost(request, response);
         public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
         throws ServletException, IOException {
              response.setContentType(PLAIN);
              PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
              String mailToken = TokenUtil.getEncryptedKey();
              String body = "Hello there, " + "\n\n"
                        + "Wanna play a game of golf?" + "\n\n"
                     + "Please confirm: https://localhost:8443/myapp/confirm?token="
                     + mailToken + "\n\n" + "-Golf USA";
              Mailer mailer = new Mailer();
              try {
                   mailer.sendMsg("[email protected]", "Golf Invitation!", body);
                   out.println("Message Sent");
              catch (MessagingException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              catch (NamingException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
    }Have some design issues...
    If you can notice, I manually place the body of the e-mail (as a String) from inside the client (in this case, a Java Servlet). Also, I manually have to switch the content type inside the doPost().
    Question(s):
    (1) How can the Mailer class be set up, so it can send both HTML and plain text messages?
    (2) How can the Mailer class be structured to send e-mail to multiple recipients or one user?
    (3) Would both of these features / actions require writing two overloaded methods for sendMsg()?
    Would appreciate it if someone could help me...
    Happy programming,
    Michael

    Okay, I came up with this single method:
    Mailer.java:
    public class Mailer
         private Session mailSession;
         protected void sendMessage(String email, String recipient, String subject,
                   String plainText, String htmlText)
            throws MessagingException, NamingException
              Properties props = new Properties();
              InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(props);
              Session mailSession = (Session) ictx.lookup("java:/Mail");
              String username = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.user");
              String password = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.password");
              MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
              InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress(email);
              InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress(recipient);
              message.setSubject(subject);
              message.setFrom(from);
              message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
              Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
              BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
              messageBodyPart.setText(plainText);
              multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
              messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
              messageBodyPart.setContent(htmlText, "text/html");
              multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
              message.setContent(multipart);
              Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtps");
              try {
                   transport.connect(username, password);
                   transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
                   Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).info("Message sent");
              catch (Throwable t) {
                   Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).error("Unable to Send Message");
                   t.printStackTrace();
              finally {

    }Question(s):
    (1) How come the Multipart Alternative only supports HTML for the second part? Can I specify it to send HTML first and plainText second?
    (2) How would I send in multiple recipients? Would I have to pass in an array reference (surrounded by a for loop) inside sendMessage() as follows:
    mailer.sendMessage(from, myArray, subject, plainText, htmlText);
    Thank you for all of your help!

  • IPhone slow to send text messages (iOS6)

    Hi,
    since the update to iOS6, my iPhone 3GS has been incredibly slow to send text messages. It takes upwards of 5 minutes to send a text message not even 100 characters long. It is certainly not the network because I also had this issue in another town some 40 miles away. I have sent messages to multiple contacts, all with different carriers than me or the same carrier as me and the problem persists with all my contacts. Does anyone else have this issue or a solution?
    Kind regards

    SMS requires a cellular connection. iMessage (to other iOS users) and instant messaging apps like Whatsapp, LifeProfile, Pinger, etc, will work over any data connection, including WiFi.
