Why can't I send a text message to more than one contact?

With all my previous cell phones I was able to send a single text message to more than one contact. With the iPhone I can only send to one contact and then I have to type the text message again and send to another contact, and so on. Or am I messing a fuction on the iPhone that allows for sending a text message to more than one contact?

No, you are not missing it. That feature is not available on the iPhone.

    How do I send a text message on my iPhone 4 to various friends? How do I create a "Group Contact"?, I never had to do it or sent them separate, but I think is time to learn.
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much, will do it.

    How do I send the same text to more than one phone at the same time?

    You'll need to see if there's an app in the App Store that does what you want. Search for "Group SMS" or similar.

  • How to send a text message to more than one recipient?

    Hi There,
    I'm most likely missing something very obvious here, but I cannot figure out how to add a second (or more) recipient in the To: field for a text message. I can add, select the first recipient, delete etc. but can't figure out how to add another.
    Any help much appreciated,
    Rod.

  • I want to send  a text message to more than one person!

    HOW?

    Well, I was typing up a solution for ya and decided to test it to see if it still worked, but apparently it doesnt, at least not with cingular/at&t. You used to be able to send text messages to people via e-mail by using their [email protected] The syntax might have changed. I would check into this and see if it's available for AT&T still and for the networks the other people you want to text at the same time are using. Add that as the person's e-mail address in your contact list and just e-mail them all at the same time on the iphone.

    That's a built in limitation of iOS. If you need to send messages to larger groups of people, you'll either need to send them in  batches of 10 or use a dedicated group messaging app. GroupMe works pretty well. Blackberry Messenger is also an option, though I don't like the interface as much.

  • Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

    Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

    Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
    They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

  • Why can't I send a text message while talking on the phone?

    Today I was on the phone and received an important text.  I tried to answer it, but received the message that it was not delivered.  I had to end my call to send the text.  Why can't I send a text or get directions from Google Maps while I am on the call?

    Google Voice allows texting (and is useful for other things as well). If you're not in the U.S., I don't have any suggestions beyond searching the App Store for "Text" or "SMS". In the U.S., there are a number of apps that allow texting to other people who have the app (much the same way iMessage works) but there are a few that will also allow texting to other phones.
    Best of luck.

  • Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

    I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message.  I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are.  I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

    Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
    Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On

  • Why can't I send a text message from my message browser to an iPhone?

    How do I send a text from my ipad2 to an IPhone?  I type the message and it will not send.

    Have you tried a hard reset (holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears)? If so, and if you're still having issues, have you tried to restore through iTunes as a backup? If so, and if you're still having problems, have you tried restoring through iTunes as a new device?

  • How Can I Send A Video Message To More Than One Pe...

    I have been trying to send a video message to two or three people on my contact list.  Is it possible to do this by adding a name to the list on the message or can I send the same message to a second person after sending it to the first?  Or do I have to record a second and third message, if I want to send it to 2 or 3 people on my contact list?

    Thank you so much, will do it.
