No, I myself found out the way! In setting under messaging app, there is an option regarding sending group message under each SIM, just check the box which says send an individual message to each recipient and you are good to go! (Don't know whether this applies in Hangout app as well). ----- Original Message ----- From: Asudani, Rajesh To: Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones and Tabs.

I think in android we cannot send msg to a group of contacts as we did in symbian. -----Original Message----- From: Mobile.accessindia [mailto:mobile.accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Vamshi.

Subject: Re: [Mobile.AI] Sending SMS to multiple contacts Hi Aparna, I have nearly 500 contacts. I need to send the SMS to almost 400 of them. Either of the suggested ways, its time consuming and laborious. In case of Whats App, we can open the contacts list and double tap while navigating will simply add the contact though voice over doesn't announce it. I wonder whether there is something similar in SMS.
