Sending mass texts

I am a team mom for my son's football team and I have to send mass texts at least once a week to all of the parents.  Some use email and some do not.. But all have, and prefer text messaging.  How do I send a mass text to one group of about 22 contacts without disclosing phone numbers or breaking up the group into smaller groups? 

Search the app store for "Group SMS" or something similar. The built in Messages app dosen't do group texting especially well.

  • 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 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.

  • MASS TEXTING NOT WORKING!!!! IOS 7

    ?????? APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!!

    Its all software that sends mass text. They even said that they are trying to get apple to fix the issue in the next update. This company i am using says it is the ios 7 version. But they also stated that iOS 7 has issues that diasble the mass texing to more then 50 guests, when ios6 sent to at least 700 people on every ios change since ios 5. I just paid $744.00 to buy a new iphone that has ios 6. IF YOU ARE ONE THAT DOES ALOT OF MASS TEXTING LIKE ME AND HALF OF THE PROMOTERS ACROSS AMERICA, DO NOT UPDATE TO IOS 7. IT WILL DISABLE YOUR PHONE, AND APPLE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWNGRADE NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS YOU.

    Why can't we send mass text messages?
    Thanx
    Rocco

    Because Apple chose not to incorporate that feature onto the iPhone. Let THEM know.

  • How do send photo through BCC mass text

    Hello community, this is my first post.
    I run a small delivery service and I would like to advirtise weekly specials by Mass texting photo / picture
    where non of the receipients can see each other.
    I've tried a few apps, including "Group Text!" but their app doesn't work.
    They have a video posted on vimeo that basically tells you turn off group messaging and imessage while leaving MMS on
    The next step is to use the in-app contact list selection.. copy that list.. compose message.. paste list..
    Then insert text.. attatch photo
    Following these steps allows you to send to multiple recipients, but does so through group messaging.
    Can this be avoided?
    I want to send a photo to multiple recipients without the recipient list.
    Thanks much !

    Search the App Store for a third-party app that may do what you are wanting to do.

  • How do I send a mass text?

    I am new to iPhone and I want to send a mass text to 100 of my contacts, can it be done without selecting each person individually?  I do not want "group" messaging, I do not want everyone to respond to everyone.
    Thanks

    Nope, you will have to select each person individually, but up to a certain number of contacts.   You can browse the app store and see if an app can help you out.

  • HT3529 can I send a mass text to all iphone contacts?

    can I send a mass text msg to all iphone contacts?

        You certainly can send a mass text message Flats164! But the iPhone natively allows you to message only 10 people at one time. There are third-party applications that can be downloaded through the App Store to allow for different messaging options too, but non that are supported directly through Verizon Wireless or Apple.

  • Can only send 1 Text/MMS at a time

    Prior to this update, I could send a "mass" text message ( WITHOUT PICTURES ) now I can only send out one at a time. This is a very annoying problem when you have to to send he same text message to 4-5 people. I can't now, I get "send failure". Of course as is standard AT&T procedure, they assume no responsibility and keep telling me there roll out went flawlessly and that i's obviously an iPhone issue.
    SO, has anyone else had this issue arise and if so, have you figured out a solution.
    THanks, I appreciate it, and I still hate AT&T....So please don't pounce on me for all you AT&T fanboys. My iPhone experience has ALL been network related and I can say I really hate AT&T

    Hi,No ATT fanboy here, but I am able to send text message to two people and a picture text to two people.

  • How many contacts can you send a text to?

    I cannot send a text to more than 10 contacts. How can I bypass this?

    Send multiple text messages. If you really want mass group texting and to greatly irritate everyone, use Facebook Messenger.

  • How to use Forms10g to send mass email to users via MS Outlook?

    Does anyone has tried to write a Forms that retrieve emails from a database schema and then send mass emails to these users viad Microsoft Outlook? If yes, would you like to share your valuable experience with us?

    i would be easier to depend on database packages for achieving this result, whether you create procedures or database triggers, you can still invoke these construct form your form. If you database is a 10g database, it is easier to handle mass email since there is an already built-in package for this.
    below is an example
    Using UTL_MAIL (only for Oracle 10g)
    make sure that the UTL_MAIL package is installed
    SQL>start utlmail.sql
    SQL>start prvtmail.plb
    both can be found under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
    utl_mail.send(
    sender IN VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS,
    recipients IN VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS,
    cc IN VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS DEFAULT NULL,
    bcc IN VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS DEFAULT NULL,
    subject IN VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS DEFAULT NULL,
    message IN VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS DEFAULT NULL,
    mime_type IN VARCHAR2 CHARACTER SET ANY_CS DEFAULT 'text/plain;
    charset=us-ascii',
    priority IN PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT 3);
    Example
    declare
    vSend VARCHAR2(30) := '[email protected]';
    vSubj VARCHAR2(50) := '10g new mail package';
    vMesg VARCHAR2(4000);
    vMType VARCHAR2(30) := 'text/plain; charset=us-ascii';
    BEGIN
    vmesg:= 'Hello mail 10g worked';
    utl_mail.send(vSend, '[email protected]', NULL, NULL, vSubj,
    vMesg, vMType, NULL);
    END ;
    Note: for this to work, you need to set the SMTP Server
    SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SET smtp_out_server ='smtp.realsoft-me.com' scope=spfile ; -- added Aug 15,2005
    -- Use your own smtp server name
    Re-bounce the instance for the changes to take place
    If you database is oracle 9i, then you have to depend on packages like UTL_SMTP , UTL_TCP. i have another example that uses the sames sample code that Mark refered to and you can find such example at my website
    http://www.e-ammar.com/Oracle_TIPS/oramail.htm
    The code my seem a bit complex, but you many not need to use it all, additionally, it makes a difference if you are going to use attachments or not.
    hope this helps

  • How do I send a text to all contacts?

    Seriously Can i send a text out to everyone in my contacts? Just got a new number and have like 400 contacts and i want to send out a mass text to give everyone my new number.
    I am not stupid i know how to create a group and add members to it but does anyone really want to sit there and add 400 members to a group? Its killing me.
    How could this thing that is basically a computer not just be able to compose a text message and just have a menu option to add all contacts. Does blackberry need a new design team. Or am i just missing the joke.
    It should be easy and it should be possible. Or do they really want to make me add each contact one by one? Lame if so.
    Can anyone help me?
    If you can you are the bomb lol because i could not find it.

    I had this problem too, and I Googled around for about an hour, only finding unsolved questions like this one. I'm an ameteur Mac-Coder, so I made an application that does just this, only for Mac OSX, verson 10.5 or higher. I plan to post this on other places so PLEASE only use this privately, and don't give it to people who ask you for it. Download

  • Responding to Mass Text Messages

    When I respond to a mass text that is sent out my response ends up going to everyone that received the test and when I send a mass text out others can mass respond.  How can I make it so that when i respond back to a mass text it only goes to the sender and when I send out a mass text all responses go ONLY to me? Thank you!!!

    I am not familiar with Picture Messages, do not know what you all mean by MMS or  SMS. But I have ONE friend who claims that everytime I send a text message typed on my iPhone (AT&T ),he does not see the text, he gets a "Picture message"which he cannot read. He is the only one and he states he gets text messages from other people using iPhones.
    What gives? NO one else complains about my text messages?  I text to the friend's mobile phone number.
    Very puzzled about this- will appreciate any help
