A Chance To Win A Group Text Promo Code With A Retweet Or Comment
August 28, 2010
AppAdvice has teamed up with Andrea Vettori in order to offer you a chance to win one of ten (10) promo codes for Group Text! for iPhone ($2.99).
Group Text is another convenient app for mass texting. Create a list, use an Address Book group, or just quickly choose a group of individual contacts. For common tasks, suggestions, reminder, or whatever else, you can create templates.
Creating a new message to send to a group is easy. Launch the app, tap to select recipients, then pick a template or leave it as "Don't use a template," and finally tap Create Message. Group Text will automatically enter the recipients and message, if you chose a template, into the Messages app. From there, you can edit or add to your message, then tap Send. Any replies are sent to the Messages app, making for the same, simple chat management you've become use to.
As usual, I'll throw out some of the fine print for a reminder. All sent and received messages using Group Text are regular SMS, meaning that the usage applies to your wireless carrier texting plan. Each iPhone has a limited ability for sending simultaneous SMS messages. For example, the iPhone 3G can send a message to up to 100 recipients at a time and the iPhone 4 can handle at least 350.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're experiencing issues sending to large groups and you're on AT&T, check the setting of "Group Messaging" on the iPhone settings. It has to be OFF (yes OFF) to be able to send to large groups. If it's on the iPhone will try to send MMS instead of SMS and will fail to send to large groups.Group Text! is designed for and compatible with the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4 running iOS 4.0 or later.
