Sending Text Messages to Multiple Recipients

Is there a way to send a text message to multiple recipients? I've been trying to figure it out for a while. I feel like this is a feature that apple couldn't have just forgotten! Anybody know?

Not supported with the iPhone - at the present time anyway with no indication that it will be supported in the future.
Apple is known for doing research so right, wrong or indifferent, I doubt this is something Apple forgot to include.
The only thing you can do is provide Apple feedback via the iPhone feedback link.

Send text message to multiple people on iPhone 6

Hi. Am using an iPhone 6 with iOS version 8.1.2. I'm unable to send an SMS to multiple contacts/people. When I compose a new message and add a second person it shifts to MMS mode. I looked in the manual and under sending a message to a group it only shows iMessage or MMS. Is this a 'feature' of the iPhone 6? Have also tried to turn off MMS from the settings but that did not work either.
The error I get is on the message window it shows "Message Not Delivered" and "Message Send Failure". Spoke to my mobile provider and they said that there are no issues at there end.
Please help as this is a feature I use VERY regularly (sending one SMS to many people).
Thanks.

Sending a message to multiple recipients

I want to send the same e mail to everyone in my contacts list, Is there any way of selecting all my contacts or do i have to check the box next to everyones name in order to achieve this?
Regards Peter

You can not select all contacts. You will need to select them one at a time and add them to the email. If you do this on a regular basis you could set up a Group Contact and drag your contacts into that group.
You can not have more than 49 contacts in your list or the message will not send.

Why can't I send text messages to more then one recipients from the UK?

I have an iPhone 6 with the latest operating system. I travel to the UK frequently. When I attempt to send a text message to multiple recipients it comes back as undeliverable. However I am able to send textx to single recipients. This only happens in the UK That I know of.

It's ask the person who has that phone - that's where the problem is.

My iphone 4 says outgoing whenever i send an sms to multiple recipients. does this mean it's still trying to send the message?

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

Why is my Z10 sending Text Messages to my Contact's Home phone numbers over their Mobile?

I send Text Messages as Chats (sent to multiple recipients which I can then later send subsequent messages to) because as far as I know there isn't a way to setup a Distribution Group with the Z10.
When I select Compose, and then select a Contact, it is selecting some Home phone numbers instead of their Mobile. WHY?
Any help would be appreciated!

Issue with selecting a contact to send text message in BB Hub

Dear all,
Currently, I meet some issues in selecting a contact to send text message.
In BB Hub, tap Text message, tap Compose,
In "To:" field, tab "+" for selecting contact, I see that, there are contacts mixing between mobile contacts, facebook contacs (current, on my Q10, facebook accounts are syned at the first time I login in facebook, but now I not syn any more) so It brings to me a confusion of selecting, sometime I select a wrong contact,...
So, please help me, when I tap "+", I can filter type of Contact I want to use, for example, I can filter facebook contact, mobile contact,...
And I don't understand, why don't classify contact based on type of account, mean that:
Hub is where manage all accounts (face, mail, text message,...), then contacts also classify based on those accounts, for example, when I tap Facebook then only accounts belong to Facebook will be available, and contacts of other accounts will be unavailable,
And, of course, when I tab Text message, then only contacts belong to Text message (mobile) will be availabe, this will avoid the issue that I mentioned above...
Could I be helped by these issues or I must wait for a upgraded OS release? And I don't know all critical issues that mentioned in this forum will be fixed in the next release....
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Don

When I send text messages to someone, they end up going to a nearby iphone instead

I really need a bit of help with this question...
My friend just purchased an iphone 4s and he is having real problems with the texts and things. He sends text messages and they go to other people on his contacts list (yes, he has hit the correct name!) They appear to go to nearby iphones, and even people who are not on his contact list. It is particularly bad at his work where there is more than one iphone. Anyone else had this problem//know how to fix it?? The phone has been synchronized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for the answer to the same question. My iPhone 4S recently sent a reply sms to a lot of unintended recipients some of whom weren't even in my phone book. It also caused me a lot of problems and I haven't been able to find out why. Apple are investigating but the damage is already done and I now don't trust the phone at all.

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.

How can I send text messages without being a thread as an group??

Hi guys, I want to send text messages so several person without being an SMS as an group chat.
Why do I want it?? Well it's mostly to send Christmas greetings to several persons without they know to whom I send to because many of them dot even know each other.. And I don't want the recipients to see the numbers of other recipients..
I've read in the forum that you can turn off the "group messaging" in the "messages" bar. However i don't have that, so is there any other ways I can aens text without it being an SMS as group????

Droid Razr Maxx HD is refusing to send text messages

I have had my phone for about a year now, and it has had a few glitches here and there being Android. But recently, it has just been refusing to send text messages. It just sits there and spins for hours until I delete the message, and never sends. I have tried turning off every data setting (Putting it on airplane mode, turning GPS off, turning data off) and restarting the phone several times and it has not helped. Any ideas?

There was an update recently. That could be why you're having problems.
Go to your Play store and make sure your apps are all up to date. Even apps installed that you don't use. Either uninstall it or update it.
Make sure mobile data is on and you don't have the phone set to block usage at a certain point. Droids can do that. Check your wifi connection as well.
Remove your SIM card for 5 minutes. Restart your phone. Replace the SIM card. To refresh your phone on the network.
Did you recently download an app that requested access to read/write to your SMS?
Go to App Manager. Check for running apps. Make sure only your default text Messaging app is running. Kit Kat only allows for one app to have permissions to write to sms. If multiple apps that want access are running you will not be able to send sms. Check for ALL text messaging apps on your phone. Look for any app that wants permission to read/ write your text messages and turn them off. All except the one app you use.

Can't send text messages (can only recieve). How do I change Service Center Number

Hello. As my subject states, i can't seem to send text messages (but i can receive them). I'm told by my carrier that i need to change my service center number (and they provided it). I've been looking all over the phone for this option, and can't seem to find it. I keep seeing posts saying "On your device: Options > SMS > Service Center." but "service center" does not appear when i go to options>SMS text. I see the following; screen options conversation style: show names: message options priority: callback number: disable autotext: so my question is;, where do i find this?

you did publish it in your "private information" part in your profile. But you have to configure your profile to allow people to view your private information. Here is a screenshot of what I see :

How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

There is no group send option like you are looking for.
To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?
