TXT Message, Max Number of Contacts??

Hi
When sending a txt message, whats the max number of contacts u can send a message to? Since I've updates to iOS 4.1, I can only TXT 8 contacts at once.

Hi
My iPhone 4 isn't Jailbroken and has iOS 4.1 installed. Since my original post I've had a play about. This is exactly what happens:
1. I receive a txt message.
2. Select edit and the forward.
3. The To field is blank with the + symbol on the right.
4. I start to select the contacts I want to forward the txt to.
5. I get to ten contacts and the + symbol disappears
6. To add further contacts I touch the field where the txt is.
7. I touch the To field again.
8. The + symbol reappears and I can then start to add further contacts.
Is this normal?
Thanks
Baz

HT1338 address book, max number of contacts allowed???

I'm importing some Vcards into my macbook air address book, but its stock on 1043, is there a limit for the contacts that can be manage by this application?

This isn't an iSync question, but there is no forum for Address Book, at least not one I found.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=753
i have a group with 160 contacts in it; when I try to send a group email it bounces back to me with the message "Too many contacts". I looked up this question in Address Book Help but there's nothing there to answer it.
That's because it's not an Address Book issue - it's an email issue. You don't say who your email provider is, but most impose limits on the number of contacts a single email can be sent to, to prevent spammers from sending out emails to hundreds or thousands of people in one go.
Is there a maximum number?
Most likely.
If so, what is it?
You'd have to contact your email provider to ask them.
Can I increase it?
Most likely not.

What is the max number of contacts that can be added to an email?

I'm sometimes sent emails with 1-200 contacts added in. If I try to 'respond to all' iMail just won't send the email back.
What is the maximum number of contacts that iMail can cope with? Is there a workaround for a larger number?
Many thanks
Steve

I'm not sure the point of it as I use a BT push pop3 account?
The point is that these kinds of restrictions are set by your email provider, i.e., Comcast, GMail, etc., not by the Mail application client.
If BT means British Telecom, ask them.

My text messages show number not contact name

Does anyone have any hints on how to fix?

Is the person texting you in your Cntacts list? If not you'll only see the number.
If they are in your Contacts, check their contact to make sure the number they are texting you from is listed in their contact.

HT204204 Error invalid number when trying to send a TXT message

While trying to send someone a TXT on craigslist, I inadvertently sent a TXT to a 7 digit number. I received back the following message (Where <XXXXXXX> is the 7 digit number I tried to TXT).
I'm using an iPhone 6 (brand new) with the latest iOS. Handoff and TXT message forwarding is set up.
From +1 (1) (216) 116-11:
<XXXXXXX> Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. (The message I sent went her).
After that I attempted to send to the correct 10 digit number but every subsequent attempt to message the correct number has failed. I have tried the following:
Hard reset of the device.
Deleting the conversation
Creating a contact with the correct number
Using Messages to create a new conversation
Replying to messages received from the number.
However nothing I've been able to do resulted in a message getting sent.

I think your region settings are interfering the format of the US number. What country are your region settings set to?
This is how they should look: +1 (216) 116-1122
The +1 is optional when inside the USA/Canada

A simple way in sending message on a large number of contacts?

Is there a simple way in sending a large number of contacts? I mean, i'll send my message on a group, i.e. "hello" to "classmates" group. I know it is present during ios4 & 5 version? Why now on ios7? How's that? Some of my contacts are changing new numbers so i can't add them to my inbox.

When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account. In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere. Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc. The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up. You restore the data from the backup. (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

Is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts

is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts and still have the app work well?

Yes, there is. It's how many contacts your hard drive can take. So you can fill up the entire computer with nothing but contacts until your HDD/Flash has no space left. So if you have 250GB, it'd be less than if you had 500GB and you'd have more on 750GB.

Max number of chars in process message MSEL?

Hi, what is the max number of characteristics can be used in process message category's MSEL table? Right now, I am using more than 99 characteristics and I get a short dump DYNPRO_FIELD_CONVERSION. Is it really limited to 99 characteristics and if it is true, is there an OSS note to change it to allow more than 99?
Thanks and points available

Please make sure that you build a
multithreaded program first (check with ldd).
If anyone can tell me the maximum number of threads per process I would
really appreicate it.
Also the maximum number of open files per process. It depends on the architecture (x86/SPARC), OS version,
64 or 32-bit, /etc/system, shell limitations (/usr/bin/ulimit) ...
Search for "rlim_fd_max / rlim_fd_cur" on docs.sun.com too.

I am not getting all my txt messages when I look at settings- messages- send and receive my phone number is not checked... how can I change it?

I am not receiving all my txt messages, I think it is because in Setting -> messages -> send and receive, my cell phone number doesnt have a check next to hit. Im not able to check it. any ideas?

Old phone is off and number is fully ported? SIM card new and installed/seated properly? All Apple credentials disabled if coming from iPhone?

Max number of persons in contact groups - Nokia Lu...

The max number of persons allowed in a contact group is (as far as I know) restricted to 20 persons. This seems very low and I wonder why this restriction is applied. A limitation of 20 persons in a group is not practical. Any explanation or any idea if this can be changed in the future?

As you've discovered the maximum number of contacts you can have in a contact group is 20. If you'd like this limit to be changed to a higher number you really should post a request or add your votes to a similar request on Microsoft's user voice fo....

TS2326 I haf updated my Iphon4 with ISO 6.1.3 but I got Problem receiving SMS messages not matching a contact's mobile number

Hi guys, I really need help on that problem,

Summary: Incoming calls show up only as phone numbers, not with the caller's name.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) On your iPhone, save a person's phone number in Contacts with the country's dialing code in front (+ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY, where +ZZZ is the country code, XX is the carrier, YYYYYYY is the person's phone number);
2) Make a call from that person's device/number to your iPhone;
3) On your iPhone, while ringing, shows the above number without +ZZZ and without the person's name.
Expected Results: No matter how the number is saved (as +ZZZ-XX-YYYYYYY or simply as XX-YYYYYYY) the caller ID should always show up, as in previous iOS editions.
Actual Results: Caller ID does not work as expected and as in previous iOS versions.
Notes: When I receive voice calls, the number comes in without the country dialing code in front, simply appears as XX-YYYYYYY (where the XX is the carrier code and YY is the number) and the caller's name does not appear. In my address book ALL my contact's telephone numbers are preceded with the corresponding country dialing code, because i travel a lot. If I delete the country code from a contact's phone number, and that number calls me, then the person's name appears. I'm am in Angola (country code +244) using iPhone 4, iOS 5, carrier: UNITEL (92)
On the other hand, SMS's are OK, i.e. the Caller ID is linked to the phone number and shows up (because SMS's are receiver with the country dialing code in front of the phone number, p.ex. +244-XX-YYYYYYY).
It has something to do with the Carrier Settings Update as in iTunes i get the error message 1630 which states that: "iTunes could not check for un update to the carrier for your iPhone. An unknown error occured (1630)."
Thanks

HT4061 My Ipad2 has a message Ipad disabled connect to itunes. The trouble is I am out of the US now and cant connect to my my home mac or any computer it is synced with. What can I do? I cant even access the serial number to contact apple. Help!

My Ipad2 has a message: Ipad disabled connect to itunes. The trouble is I am out of the US now and cant connect to my my home mac or any computer it is synced with. What can I do? I cant even access the serial number to contact apple. Help!

Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer.

Patience - for someone to read the post and find the answer and then reply....
The shortcode 97900 is for free SlooceGames on the phone - Slooce Technology, Inc - SlooceGames - Try our games now by texting “GAMES” to 97900 or visiting our Slooce Games online portal. Slooce games will work on almost any phone and with all the major carrier networks in the US.
If your daughter did that,and is playing games at their portal, odds are the communications are to and from 97900.

HT4489 The number of contacts on my Macbook,iPhone and iCloud are all different. So when i tried to import vCards from my address book on to my iCloud a message came up saying "invalid vCards"? Any ideas

The number of contacts on my Macbook,iPhone and iCloud are all different. So when i tried to import contacts which i thick are called vCards from my address book on to my iCloud through the options menu on icloud a message came up saying "invalid vCards"? Any ideas? Really want to get this sorted if i could
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book. (25)
