Re: Email distribution group

['Richard Turner' via VIPhone]

I forgot to say how to access it... If you just want to send a message, just start a new message and type its name. Ib you want to edit it, open contacts, hit the back button to get to your list of contact lists and select it...

So, just like when you created it, back up until you have the screen with your contact lists, like iCloud, outlook, etc., and it will be there alphabetically. I have all contacts, then Bookcllub then outlook, because the one I created is called Bookclub.

Now flick right to the "Add List" Button and double tap. You will be in a List Name edit field, enter the name you want, and there will be a done button in the lower right corner near the delete button, only it will not say button… Now, you have a list with that name in the list of contact accounts/lists you have such as iCloud, Outlook, All Contacts, etc. Double tap on your new list. Flick right until you land on "Add contact," and double tap. Now, you will be in a list of contacts, go through and double tap on those you want.  They will say "selected," and when you are done there is a "done" button in the upper right corner, double tap. Now you will be back in the list you just created with all the names, hit the back button and now your list will be on the screen and will say how many people are on it. The cool thing I just discovered is that without opening the list, flick up or down through the options to see what you can do from here. I flicked down and found these options: Activate, default Get Mail Message Trash Edit Email all Message all Export Rename Delete If you flicked up you would have those options in reverse.   According to Siri, these are the limits of how many emails you can send at one time. iCloud email account: up to 500 emails in one group. Outlook, free account:, is 100. Microsoft 365 subscribers: 500. Gmail: 100. Number of text messages varies.  I believe 10 for SMS where not everyone has Apple iMessage.  32 if everyone has Apple iMessage. Check the above with your carrier/ISP to be sure.   Richard, USA, The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." -- Alan Watts (1915-1973)   My web site: https://www.turner42.com     -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
