Sending mass text from iphone to 'group' in address book or contacts

hi! does anyone know how to send mass text message to a group i already have set up in address book/contacts? i have tried looking up the group as a contact to send a text but that doesn't work. am i just missing something here?
thanks!

If you send an SMS or an email to 500 people or to 10 people, yes.
Copied from my previous post in this thread.
Addressing an SMS or an email to an address book group is not supported - at the present time anyway.

  • How to move contacts from iphone to mac's Address book WITHOUT DELETING?

    I want to move contacts from my iPhone to the address book in the computer. I'm scared about it deleting contacts in my iPhone instead as I've heard horror stories. Syncing is so freaking confusing???

    So far playing around with it back and forth. My understanding is the following;
    1. Add on iPhone / Sync / Adds to Address Book
    2. Delete on iPhone / Sync / Deletes from Address Book
    3. Add in Addres Book / Sync / Does not add to iphone (with no regards to Advanced option in iTunes)
    4. Delete in Address Book / Sync / Deletes on iPhone (with no regards to Advanced option in iTunes)

  • How to send mass texts on iPhone 4

    I recently got an iPhone 4 on Verizon and send a text to various friends at once except some of them don't get the message or some of them just get it as an MMS message that doesn't say anything. I've heard that you can go to the settings and messaging but I didn't know what to turn off, as of now I only have the MMS Messaging option on and Group Messaging and Show Subject Field off, should I turn off MMS and what not or will that make it so I can't send picture messages to my friends and what not too? The one thing I have found is it's generally my friends that have iPhone will always get it but not all the others. I also know there's an app that may solve this but I'm low on cash and don't wanna pay for it. So yeah if someone could help me with this that'd be great, thank you

    The iPhone uses MMS to send group messages so leave that on and turn Group Messaging on.
    You are limited to I think 10 people in one group message.

  • Can't send photo text from iphone 4s to non iPhone

    I have a 4s iPhone but can't send photo text message to husband who doesn't have iPhone.  Can send to people with iphone though.  Need some help...

    I've been having problems with texting pictures since I updated to iOS 7 too but have yet to find a solution that actually works.  I have also tried to reset my phone numerours times, have MMS turned on, etc.  It doesn't matter if I'm trying to send the picture to another Apple user or not. 
    It usually takes about 3 or 4 tries to get the picture to go through, but in many cases I have to turn my phone off then back on for it to work.
    PS - I am in Canada & my service provider is Bell. However I don't believe it is a Bell issue as I didn't have any problems until AFTER the update.  Had hoped the latest update this week would've fixed it but if anything it seems worse.

  • Cannot transfer contacts from iPhone 3GS to Mac Address book

    Hi there
    I've been searching for an answer all over these forums and google, but to no avail.
    I'm using a 3GS and I'm on Snow Leopard on the mac.
    I have tried resetting the sync utility settings and all other tweaks with the phone and the iTunes panels, but I simply cant add any of the numbers that I have added to my phone on to the mac address book. The contacts are transferred to iCloud though. But there is no way to export the iCloud contacts over to the mac address book either. I have to now manually search for all the new contacts I've added (which is a project in itself) and retype it in the mac address book. Pretty ridiculous!!!!!
    Is there a fix for this or is Apple wanting everyone to buy Lion to use the dektop version of iCloud.
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Best regards

    Hi guys
    Managed to find the solution
    1) On the iPhone go to settings > iCloud > Switch off contacts. (Keep contacts on phone)
    2) Then on the mac go to address book and make an archive of your contacts just in case something goes wrong. You can do this by going to File > Export > Create an archive.
    3) Then delete all the contacts and groups from your mac address book.
    4) Then go to iTunes and backup by right clicking on the iPhone on the sidbar.
    5) Sync
    Your contacts from the phone should repopluate the mac address book
    Hope that helps. It worked for me
    Best regards

  • How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes, How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes

    How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iphone3gs to windows address book.

    Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all?  If so, then they are gone.
    IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.

  • Cant Send SMS Text from iPhone

    I cant send any SMS texts.  I can send iMessages and MMS (pictures), so when i want to text a non-iphone user i have to text, let it fail to deliver, then take a screenshot of this and send screenshot pic to the person.

    Manual cutting of a SIM is always a risk, as you have witnessed. It is best to get a SIM directly from your carrier that is designed for your particular model of the phone. That eliminates these types of problems.

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

    I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

    I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

  • When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
    (I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
    Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

  • Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email?

    Why does my iphone send all text from only one of my contacts to my email? I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this issue with the Iphone 5s...

    imessage has a new setting that shows all emails associated with your apple id.  There are two sections, send and receive.  Since you are using the same apple id, Im sure if you adjust one of those settings to your mobile number instead of your appleid, it wont send double.
    You might also have to adjust your wifes settings too, so those emails dont overlap

    If I send a text from my iphone to an iphone user the reply comes into my ipad via imessage. I don't get a text reply on my iphone. Any ideas how to fix?

    Yes. On your phone make sure it is set to send messages from your phone number, not your apple id or other email address. That way when they reply it will go to your phone.

    how to send a text message to a group of people and save the list for next time from an iphone 4s?

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
