Help Texting Multiple Recipients

[Johnny D]

Hi All,

Not had my SII long but i'm impressed so far with my first smartphone. Still find somethings abit complex compared to my old nokias but hope to get my head round it eventually.
Can anyone help me with texting multiple recipients please.
Now and then I need to send the same tx message to about 50 of my contacts.
I've created a group for these 50 contacts called " workmates"
I want to send the same tx message to all 50 in one go but I get stopped when I reach 10 and the phone tells me i can't send to more than 10 in one go. So I end up rewriting the tx message 5 more times and have to send it in groups of 10 recipients in my "workmates" group.
Is there a way of sending it to all 50 in one go and save the tediousness of rewriting the tx message. I can't even work out a way of "copying and pasting" the original tx message to save time that way.
Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Can't help with the sending, but with copy and paste:

Press and hold in the message box.
A menu may show.
Select text
Copy.

Then to paste, Press and hold in the message box, paste.

Yours may be different (I'm have an SGS with a Custom ROM), but should be roughly the same idea

The only 2 options I can think of are:

1) Try a third party app like Go SMS or K9-Mail, these may not have restrictions like the stock messenger.

2) Some custom roms (specifically Darky's Rom) have hacked these apps so that there is no limit to the amount of people that you can text in one go. The other useful thing I come across was that the message app was hacked so it did not automatically convert SMS to MMS after certain number of characters.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the tips and i apologise for the late reply. Work commitments.
Doomed - the copy and paste tip worked and saves abit of time - thanks
Tuffload - i tried go sms to no avail and k9 mail seems to be an email based ap - but thanks for the help

Looks like i'm stuck at ten text messages at a time at the mo. Quite annoying and abit of a disappointment by todays techno standards. All my nokias had no probs with large group messaging. Its a shame samsung haven't made this possible. Yet?

Thanks again guys
