    Lately many people are asking how to SMS/Text to a group

    On OS5 you can send 100+ SMS I used to send 124 at one go!

    On OS6 you can send 100 SMS not more than that!

    All you have to do is create a group and send sms..

    Procedure of creating a group:

    • Goto address book application press the menu button again. Scroll to "New group" and select.
    • Title your group and then scroll down to the area that says * No Addresses *.
    • Press the menu key again and select "Add Member."
    • Once all members have been added press the menu button again and select "save group."
    • A nice feature of the blackberry is that you can organize all of your contacts into groups.
    • Now Goto contacts again and select the group you created and click the menu key and select text group(Group's name will be there)

    PS: It depends on the carrier if they allow bulk SMS..

    Some carriers allows some doesn't (Mine does allow)

    --- Good Luck

    Did as you posted, but I get an error that reads "Only 10 Recipients Allowed".
    It worked with my Curve 3g 9300 phone - just not my Torch.
    Frustrated.

    Carrier must have restricted the amount of user you can send text.

    This is not a new procedure but I'm happy you discovered it and
    posted it for others who may not have known. Nice share

    I'm now able to send a text message to unlimited contacts contained in a Caller Group using this program: FutureSMS. Cost me 7 bucks, but well worth the money.

    I sent my basketball club (45 contacts in Group) one text message - it worked great! And the program allows me to schedule the text message as well.
