Since Monday 2nd september my group text messaging has stopped working. I was using a Samsung Galaxy 2s. This has always been a stupid phone because of the ten text limit and has been a source of constant iritation. I went to an O2 Guru and we though the problem had been resolved however as soon as I got home the problem apeared again. I had been informed that the Sony Xperia didnt have the stupid limit of ten texts on groups so have upgraded. Now i find there is a limit of 50 text and when i try to send it has a message you are about to send a lot of texts do you wish to proceed. you have to press this a number of times and while doing this any texts the phone is trying to send will fail so you have to go through them manually! Can i turn this off?
Have now changed all my groups to less than 50, a really time consuming job and it still dosnt work. The warning is still coming up! I have a Sony XPERIA Z by the way. My groups were set up for my last Nokia, ten years ago i could send 600 texts a go with no problem! progress!
spoken to sony they say they don't have set a limit and the 50 text limit has been set by o2. I run a karate club with about 450 members if an event is cancelled then it is urgent i contact them urgently. Say in march this year, when it snowed badly it was really important we cancelled the grading we had planned that morning. I have 450 members and most have mum and dad to contact. My phone is a business work tool! I have them now set up in numeriouse small groups the biggest of 44 members but it is not working!
According to this thread from a year ago, group sms are sent as MMS and charged accordingly, so I'm thinking your new phone may not have the correct MMS settings:
