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.

Perhaps someone from Apple could reply to this rather than leaving it unanswered?

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.

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.

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

Can't send sms to multiple contacts!

Since ios 4.2.1 I'm not able to send sms to multiple contacts!
When i've added about 8 contacts I'm not able to clivke on the + button. I have to click on "back" and then click on my sms contact list to be able to click on + button... Someone else have this problem? Is it an ios 4.2.1 bug?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem since upgrade to the new ios, however, i am able to get around this by using the keypad and entering the first letter of the next contact. this brings up either the normal contacts list or a scrolling version of the contacts list. This is also causing problems as the scrolling version often extends outside of the menu window and you cannot add contacts at the top of the window as they slide back out of site. this problem is now getting worse as i cannot now scroll the names down at the top of the list. needs a fix

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?

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.

Mail issue: not sending (addressed to multiple recipients in BCC

Hi,
I am having trouble sending a message to multiple recipients in the BCC field. I am sending to myself in the To: box and many others in BCC. It is not sending the message, either through my Mail program, nor through iCloud mail. iCloud mail gives me "Cannot send message. This message cannot be sent at this time." messge, but no explanation why. (iCloud mail seems to be working normally according to on-line status report). My Mail program give me a, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.me.com:(username)
The server "smtp.me.com" did not recognize the following recipients: [followed by long list of recipients all separated by commas] though it doesn't list all the recipients in the field.
Could it be that I just have too many in the field?
HELP! I'm in a time-crunch on this one.
It did send a test e-mail to me, just fine. No other reipients listed.)

AAARGH! Nevermind! I found the answer! over the 100 recipients-at-a-time limit.

Sending mails to multiple recipients

Hi,
I need to send an e-mail to multiple recipients, none of which may know that the mail was sent to others as well. Of course, the first idea was to use the BCC-field. However, if I do that, the receipients get a mail with an empty To-Field, which looks both stupid and suspicious. Is there a way to send a mail in such a way that each recpient has their own address in the To-Field? I also played around a bit with Automator but I couldn't find anything.

Hi Phunkjoker!
I don't think you can, except by sending each individually.
The only alternative that I can figure out is to send it to yourself, and have the other recipients in the BCC field?

Sending mail with multiple recipients as one mail?

The project I'm working on to migrate users to the new 7.x messaging platform keeps asking me to do some special configurations.
I got this question today...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
4. As inquired, when sent from SunMail to/copying multiple addresses, the outgoing email is replicated as many as the number of addressees
(For example, if you are sending an email to 10 people, the email is sent as 10 emails)
In the Exchange system, email to multiple recipients is replicated in the Top Mail Server. But in SunMail, such email is replicated to 10 emails when being sent.
We want SunMail emails to remain as a single email when being sent and only to be replicated to each recipient in the Top Mail Server.
This may be dependent on the specs of mail software, which means it may not be able to fix, but please confirm.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The "top mail server" is just some postoffice product, appliance type mta for sendmail.
Is there anyways to pass along the email without expanding the recipients into individual mails?
Thanks.

Hey Kelly, longtime no chat. Thanks for such a detailed and informative answer. I read over the link, that explains a lot. The old system is a 6.3. Unfortunately I have a very limited access to the old production systems and can't do much. Otherwise information is like pulling teeth around here. I've copied over all the configuration files and I am going through that stuff now.I recommend you compare the old MS6.3 configuration with the new MS7u3 default (configuration) settings and make changes to the MS7u3 settings only where necessary. Using the old MS6.3 settings may no longer be appropriate for the new environment.
I think the main thing here, is that the default behavior in the proposed 7.x system will give them the results they seek, does that sounds like a fair assumption?Taking a step back I question the initial statement:
"4. As inquired, when sent from SunMail to/copying multiple addresses, the outgoing email is replicated as many as the number of addressees".
From a strictly performance/storage perspective it makes no sense to "replicate" an email and the MTA goes to great lengths to avoid such replication where possible. Kelly has pointed out one scenario where replication will occur ("single" channel keyword) but this is not enabled by default (for good reason). There could be other causes e.g. conversion channel or sieve filters or spam filtering that operates at the envelope recipient level.
So if this "replication" behaviour is occurring in the old environment then without understanding why it is occurring you cannot assume it won't occur in the new environment -- especially if you are copying across the old config files.

Shane.
