Contact groups

Individual contacts can be combined to create a group contact. This is useful when it is necessary to send the same message to several people. To create a group, open the contacts function and navigate to the group icon. Press Menu and select New Group. Enter a Group name and press Create. Now open the new group and press Menu then select Add/Remove Contacts from the menu options. Identify the members to be included in this group by placing a check mark in the box to the right of the individual’s name. When all members are identified and check marks appear in the boxes associated with the correct name, press Menu, and select Save.

Note: The device places no limit on the number of contacts that can be added into a group. Your cellular carrier may restrict the number of contacts, the size of the message or other factors that will affect the performance of group messaging. Some cellular providers have a limit of 20 people that can be included in a group message so you should check with them for any limits. Some carriers also limit the size of attachments that may be sent and received through group messages. Group messages also require data to send, as most carriers view these types of messages as they would an MMS.
