Texting more than one person

hi
if i text more than one person when one of them replies there is no way of telling who it is. if i reply to one of their replies does that go to everyone or just the person who replied?
this is scarily scary.

Not sure of your issue.
When I text multiple people, when a person replies it comes to their own conversation thread with their name (or number if not in contacts EXACTLY the same as the number it says txt you back).
Any reply to a txt that only has one person listed (by name or number) will only go to that one person. You should never get reply backs in the same thread as the group send you did.

Text more than one person at one time????

I was wondering if you can send a text out to more than one person at a time. I can't seem to add more than one person to a text like you can on e-mails. If you can't this feature should be updated. I'm sick of typing things over and over to send to other people. Any thoughts???

Texting more than one person at a time.

First of all, I love the iPhone. This isn't a complaint just more of a request.
Mass text messaging.
On all of my previous cellphones I've been able to send the same text message to multiple people at the same time. This does not seem possible with the iPhone. I like telling people what bar im at so they can come buy me shots.
If any Apple people read these forums please send this suggestion up the chain!
Thx!

I've heard claims it can be done, claims some have done it, and claims that it didn't work for them. This thread is interesting, some indications it should be possible, complaints that it didn't, and also an interesting work-around:

Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

Is it possible to text multiple people at the same time?

Nope - not at the present time anyway.

When texting with more than one person at a time the incoming text scrolls to top of the conversation. anyone out there with the same issue?

I cant text chat with more than one person

I can normally text chat just fine, but when i try to invite more than one person to chat, i get the following error message
Couldn’t request chatroom “[screenname here] 619401”. (Your message is too long to be sent. Please shorten it.)
(obviously where it says screenname here, thats my screen. all lowercase letters, no spaces or weird characters.
the weird thing is if someone else invites me to a multi person text chat, it works just fine. i just cant initiate it. any suggestions???

Here is how I initiate a text chat.
(0) Click on one of my buddy names in my Buddy List to highlight it.
(1) ⌘ click on the next buddy I want to add to highlight him, too.
(2) Repeat the ⌘ clicks for all the other buddies I want in the chat.
(3) Click the "A" at the bottom of my buddy list to initiate the multiple-party chat.
Try that, and see if it works for you. If you can make it work for two, it should work for more.

TS2755 I have a new iPhone 5 from T-Mobile. I can send simple texts just fine. However, I have to turn off wi-if and enabler cellular to send texts to more than one person or to attach a picture. Is there a way around this?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Sending a Text Message to More Than One Person...

How do i send a single text message to more than one person? Is that possible?

Not possible at present. It's on the list of feature requests. We hope an update will add this feature in the near future.

Will not send text to more than one person

All of a sudden my phone will not send text message if it is going to more than one person. Plus it would not send a video that I received in a text message. In the past I could send a text message to more than one person and could send videos. Any ideas?

Are you retaining copies of sent texts? My coworker had over 500 messages
in a sent text folder.

Forwarding messages to more than one person at a time, how in the heck do i do it ??

Hi there!
I hope you are enjoying your new phone.
In order to forward a text message to multiple people, just long-press on the message you want to send and select 'Forward'. In the 'To:' field begin typing the first persons name, then hit the 'enter' key. This will typically move the cursor down to the message, just tap on the 'To:' field again and begin typing the second person's name, and so on and so forth until you get all the people included.
Keep in mind, if you have a limited texting package that sent messages are billed per recipient. Example, if you forward a text to 10 people, then 10 messages go against the allowance.
Have a great day!

How do people register for more than one person on a form?

We had a lot of complaints last year from organizations who sent several employees to our training. It took a long time for them to process these one at a time. How do people register for more than one person on a form?

Hi thearcca,
This entirely depends on the form you create, you can add multiple choice button and ask for the no. of employees the organization wants to register.
Also, you can add corresponding text field for the names.
Thanks,

Outlook (ex Hotmail) on iPhone refuses to send e-mail to more than one person

Hi,
I have two questions today...
When I try to send an e-mail to more than one person from my @outlook.com address on my iPhone it fails everytime and a message pops up that it could not connect to the server. Sending e-mails to one person at a time works perfectly. I think this is a Microsoft issue as I had to verify that I was "human" before I could send a test e-mail to more than one person while logged into the Outlook website on my PC. I never had problems like this on my old Gmail and Ymail accounts. Any ideas how to fix this?
Alternatively, I can use my @icloud.com e-mail address, but this leads to my second question. Apple states that I cannot use my iCloud e-mail address as my Apple ID. I do however not want to keep two mailboxes. Can any e-mails Apple send me (eg. receipts for purchases, etc) be sent to my iCloud address? I'll can then just keep the other e-mail address just for the Apple ID but do not have to monitor it. It this can be done please advise where I can change this.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

How to emai more than one person

hi, can someone please post some code on how to send more than one person the same email, i tried what's below but get an error:
// Send message out as email via JavaMail
// Emails for group 1

     namesInGroup.add(namesOne);
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "???");
Session s = Session.getInstance(props);

InternetAddress[] to = new InternetAddress[namesInGroup.size()];
String emailOfPerson;

try using addElement()method of the vector.
or get all the address as one string represented by _to
where _to = "[email protected], [email protected]";
     //set to addresss
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress() ;
InternetAddress [] toadd = to.parse(_to);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC,toadd);
i hope this wouldhelp you
thanks and regards,

Cannot chat with more than one person.

Running iChat AV 2.1, only text chatting via Rendevous in OSX 10.3.9. I can't chat with any more than one person. It sure would be helpful.
I've tried selecting two people and opening a new chat--I get the error message "Could not create chat with these participants". When more than one person is selected, the A button at the bottom is grayed out.What do I need to do?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Barry,
Bonjour in iChat require that ports 5297, 5298 and 5353 are open in your routing device (if you have one)
I have seen this problem reported before. I do not know that there is a specific fix for this.
