Group SMS... One function - many possibilities

Groups - Lists - Lists - Customer clubs - Newsletters... A child of many names! With a group SMS account at SureSMS you can easily and quickly send out many messages to customers, users, employees, members and more. Read below how to succeed with Group SMS.

Not what you were looking for? Below are two quick guides for Group SMS on Android and on iPhone.

It is possible to send an SMS to a group from the regular SMS app on your Android phone. Exactly how to do this depends a bit on the user interface, including both the version of Android and the phone you have. But in general, this guide works if you are a little creative in understanding the intention. Sometimes the buttons are in different places and have slightly different names.

The disadvantage of group SMS on Android is that replies come into the individual person's thread. So you can't see the replies to your SMS in the same thread as it was sent.

First, change the way you send group messages:

First, open "Messages"
Then tap more and watched
Settings Advanced Group messages
Next, select "bulk SMS" or "group SMS" as your default.

Now you can select multiple recipients or groups when creating a new SMS.

At Fujitsu, we have a number of field technicians who are on the road every day and forget to attend our weekly Skype meetings because they're buried deep in technical equipment at customer sites. Since we started sending out SMS reminders an hour before the meetings, we've had a much higher attendance and they actually say that the reminders are a great help.
