Texting Multiple People

So I went out and bought that "iPhone--The Missing Manual" and read it last night.
On the book, don't spend the money, just go get a coffee and hang out at Barnes and Knoble and flip through it...you will find the few workarounds that make it worth the read, but other than a few things, everything else was just how to use the phone.
However, one of the workarounds that I found, that a lot of you mass texter's might want to do that you are not aware of.....
if you text through email, just put your friends phone number in front of teleflip.com.........you don't have to remember all the different ADDRESSES FOR EACH CELL PHONE COMPANY AS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED IN OTHER THREADS (whoops, caps lock)....so you can go into all your friends, add one more email address with these numbers, and email to them, they will go to your friends phones as a text and it costs you nothing and you can now text to multiple people again!
It is also a way to keep your text messages down with your current plan, cause they go out from you as emails, but arrive at your friends as text messages!
Still does not work with pictures, but at least you can text to more than one person now! =)

I am wondering if there is an easier way to text the same message to multiple people.  Rather than writing the message then adding them one by one clicking "add recipient"  can I highlight or select multiple names to send the message to??
THANKS!
You can create a group if you are sending it to the same people all the time.
For example I have to tell the same people about a customer because they all need to know about this one customer.
So to create a group.

how ever if its the different people all the time I haven't figure it out yet.  :smileywink:

Edit::: I forgot to say when you create that group make sure you use thier phone numbers and not email addresses.

    If you 6 menu buttons are pointing to Tracks then select the Track and in the property inpector you can set the Menu Remote Control options. Set Menu to the button on the menu you want to jump to.
    You can set this option individually for chapters in a Track also so,

  • One text multiple people

    I have an iphone5. I need to send the same text to 100 people. I have tried with iMessage on and off and with mms on and off but each time I send the text several people do not receive it. Why would this be?  And I don't receive the replies from some who have received it. I am not using group messaging. It is driving me crazy. Yesterday I sent a text to 3 people. Only 1 received it.

    It can not be done on the iPhone SMS app.
    You can, however, send an email to multiple SMS via the Mail app. You will just need the phone number and wireless carrier of your recipients.

  • Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

    Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

    now I have this and it still doesn't work.

  • Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?

    Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?  This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information.  iPhone 4 worked just fine.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.
    Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

  • HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

    Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

    Yes, you can.  In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
    You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage.  To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts.  Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114

    I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts.  Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114. Online I found a discussion that stated i needed to delete contact and re-add. I have done that to no avail. Any ideas?

    I had the same issue with the iPhone 6 and tried everything!  I now understand that at some point I stored a number for a contact without including the area code and sent a text message.  So, to correct the issue, you must literally "erase" all references to the contact, not just the number.  Deleting the contact and entering a new one is not enough because the iPhone stores references to that number in multiple places.  The steps below worked and are very simple:
    1) On the contact screen, delete everything stored for that number.  You can't just edit the contact to fix the problem, so write down or record the info somewhere before you complete this step.  Choose edit and then select DELETE to eliminate the entire contact which means home, work, cell, email address, etc.
    2) Delete the entire string of messages you sent to that number.  That's every single message...
    3) Now delete the entire string of invalid 2114 messages you received after your text(s) failed.
    4) Finaly, remove the contact from FAVORITES if you saved it that way. 
    5) To validate that all this worked, simply go to the keypad or contact screen and enter the number associated with the contact to verify successful removal.  I used the keypad and dialed to confirm.  If the contact number still shows up, you need to go back and recheck your steps.  Trust me, I had to do this a few times.
    Several posts suggested that you should  reset and turn off your phone.  After following these steps, it was not necessary for me to reset or turn off my device. 
    is there a much faster way to achieve the same results?  Probably, but this was safe for an iPhone novice and may help you avoid inadvertently deleting other contacts or replacing factory settings that you need.  

  • Text multiple phones

    can you send SMS to more than one phone #?
    Is there a way to create a group in Contacts?
    I just got the phone and love it but i'll be really disappointed if i can't communicate with multiple people without having to create a new text for each one. even my old cheap phone could do that...

    No you cannot. I as does many others find it ludicris that Apple ommitted these basic phone features for eample, the ability to send and recieve Multi Media Messages, texting to multiple recipients, creating groups in contacts, simple editing features in email and text, copy and paste, etc. etc. etc. etc......... Thus the reason why I am going back to my Palm Treo 750, a much better and less expensive phone.

  • Can multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?

    Is there a way to have multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?
    My cousin would like to have a single shared photo stream where we can both post photos on it and comment, instead of having two separate shared photo streams. 
    We think that there should be an option for the album creator to give access to anyone he/she shares it with to enable them to also post pics on the same stream.

  • How can i send a email to multiple people on my ipad2 using the contact and group list downloaded from my iMac.  Thank you

    I am 63 yrs old and not to computer literate.  I know how to send an email to multiple people using my contact list and groups on my IMAC.  I tried using a group name downloaded to my Ipad2 from my IMac.  It does not work.  If I choose a single email address it works.  Any idea what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you for your paitence and help.
    Steve

    You are not doing anything wrong. The feature that you need is totally lacking in the built in Mail app on the iPad.
    There are a couple of third party mail apps that will let you do this ... MailShot and Group Email with Attachments. You can check them out in the App Store.

  • Multiple people working on same iWeb domain.

    I am trying to rebuild my site after upgrading to iWeb'08 and would love to be able to have multiple people work on different areas of the site to speed up the process. How do I sync them back without loosing links. Can I ever have them exist in one file again. I believe that I can manually publish to folder then put them all in same folder.
    If there is any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

    Advice?
    Don't try it.
    You would need multiple versions of the Domain.sites folder created by iWeb and there is no way to merge them into just one file.

    I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

  • Unable to share files when in a IM convo with multiple people Lync 2013

    Hello,
    I'm in the middle of a migration from lync server 2010 to lync server 2013. The users I have migrated over to lync 2013 are not able to send/share attachments when in a convo with multiple people.
    However, users can send/share files when IM'ing with individual people.
    I've been researching this issue for quite some time but still having a problem pinpointing  the issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did the issue also happen between users who still in Lync server 2010 pool?
    Did the issue happen internal or external?
    Please double check if MCU on Lync 2013 FE server works well, when two participants are connected, the session is essentially peer-to-peer. When three or more participants are connected, the Sharing feature depends on the Front End Server Multi Point Control
    Unit (MCU) to provide the sharing stream to all parties.
