Group SMS is the app you need with Christmas and New Year's eve to send your greetings to your family and loved ones.

With Group SMS you can send an SMS text message to a group of contacts. These groups can be small or very large (Bulk SMS) and send to tens, hundreds or thousands of contacts. You can also send email to groups. Group SMS is ideal when you need to send the same message to any number of contacts.

Group SMS will show you the groups that are already defined in the Contacts app of your iPhone. It also allows you to create new groups as well as modify your existing groups and contacts.

Using the built-in Templates feature, you can reuse often-used text messages or emails that you need to send to groups.

Group SMS will send the SMS using the built-in Messages app OR you can use the special SMS gateway of Group SMS.

The costs of the SMSs will be charged by your mobile operator or you can buy SMS from within the app itself. If a group contains 12 contacts, you will be charged 12 SMS.

When you have a very large group (more than 50 contacts), you can choose to bypass your own mobile provider and select to use the SMS gateway of Group SMS instead. This will allow you to send your Group SMS with less cost and with more control. This feature is also ideal for marketing campaigns. You can import a large set of numbers via a .CSV file.

Group Mail is always without costs. You can also forward email attachments to groups.
