Re: Idea: Mass Text Messaging
My crappy Verizon locked-down phone already allows multiple to addresses. It also allows assigning contacts to pre-assigned groups. Sounds like you'd like the address book to allow arbitrary grouping and the ability to address a message to a group. Seems pretty simple. I'd suspect it could be integrated into the existing contacts/SMS application pretty easily. -Steven On 3/4/07, Ryan Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I repeatedly find myself in situations similar to this: I am at the mall with my parents and want to know if any of my friends are at the mall.

Re: Idea: Mass Text Messaging
I can send a single text message to a group of people by just selecting the people in my phone book when i go to send a text. I know my old phone wasn;t able to do this but my new Motorola phone can, so I expect any recent motorola phone can do this already. -- Cathal O'Brien ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
RE: Idea: Mass Text Messaging
Yep piece of cake, you could set it up today (no need for Neo handset) Just code yourself a website that takes the numbers you copy into the outbound box, type your message into the message box, then enable a script to send your message to one of the many web based sms providers. You should be able to code this into a wap page that's easily accessible via any mobile (just make sure you secure access to your webserver so someone cant abuse your account).
