With Group Text! you can easily send SMS (on iPhone) or iMessages (on all devices) to groups, to handpicked set of contacts or to distribution lists. Once you create a list, you no longer have to select contacts one-by-one for a group message. Simply tap on the list or group name and you are ready to send! And if you need to send the same message many times, just save it as a template and pick it later to auto populate the text of your message. You can also easily attach the address and maps link of the current or a selected position and text contacts information.

Group Text! uses your text plan to send messages and replies are received on the Messages application as usual or uses the iMessages service on iOS5 depending on your settings.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR iOS5 USERS:
For group texting with to work on iPhone with iOS5 when sending to at least one non-iMessage recipient you have to turn OFF iMessage, MMS and Group Messaging on the device settings. Please contact us for more details or take a look at the support page on the web site.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
If you're experiencing issues sending to large groups on iOS4, check the setting of "Group Messaging" on the iPhone settings. If the option is available, set it to 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.
