    How To Send Bulk SMS From Smartphone

    When you need to broadcast the same message quickly to a lot of people, sending a group text message is often the best way. Here is a guide to sending bulk SMS on Android and iPhone.
     Android
    •With Android, a good way to manage group texts is to set up a contacts group first. Go into Contacts>Tap Apps then Contacts or tap Contacts from the home screen.
    •Tap Groups to get into the groups area of the phone. Depending on your Android version and phone, you may have an Add Groups option or you may need to tap the Menu to call up a Create Groups option.
    •Your group needs a meaningful name such as PCA Softball team. Once you’ve typed it in, tap Save to finish creating the group of friends.
    •Now, you can add people to the group by selecting them from your contacts list. On a Samsung Galaxy S III, this involves typing the group name, then press the contact button and pick from the full contact list.
    •Go to the messaging app, tap the Contacts icon, pick your group and then either Select All or make specific choices for a subset. Tap Done and you return to the messaging app where you can add more recipients and send your message.

    iPhone
    •There is no group contacts facility on the iPhone; so, you need to create groups from the Messages app every time you send a message. On your iPhone, open Messages to start the process of creating a new SMS.
    •Tap the small + icon to the right of the field and you can see your contacts listed. To add one, tap the name. If you’ve got a lot of contacts, use the Search box to find who you are looking for.
    •Type out the text of the message you want to send and then send the message when you are ready. The group will see it.
    •To make things easier, you can create a group of contacts. Again, this is not possible on the iPhone, but you can set them up at www.iCloud.com . Log in with your Apple ID, create a group and drag contacts into the group.
    • This will sync to the iPhone as long as iCloud is enabled (go to Settings > iCloud to check). However, you still need to select people individually from the group when you want to send them all a message.

    Please, how do I create a WhatsApp platform for a group interaction?-Mike
    Read up the story ‘Creating social media group accounts’, which has just been treated above.
    How can I hide my number when I am calling someone who has stored my name on their contact list?-2348033***15
    You did not indicate whether you are using Android, iphone or analogue phone. But since your line is MTN, the code for hiding your number on MTN line is to dial #31# before the number you want to call; (Example #31#08038571741).
    I opened a Yahoo mail account in 2001. The owner of the cybercafé has alternate email he used and he has the password. I used my email up to 2014 when I forgot my password. I have the print out of the information entered in 2001. The operator of the café used has closed the business. Kindly tell me what to do-2347082**40
    If you try to recover your account, Yahoo will likely send an email to the email account of the owner of the cybercafé since that was listed as the recovery email. Another way of getting back your account is by using your phone number; that is if the cybercafé operator listed your phone number as the recovery phone number.
    Other than these two suggestions, there is really nothing much that can be done.

    I recently changed the hard disk of my Hp windows 8 edition desktop.  It worked fine initially but recently, it has been slowing down. Moving from one page to another usually takes longer than necessary. What can I do? -Isaac
    The problem could be from the disk usage or antivirus software. You may not be able to fix it yourself; so, it is advisable you get an engineer to do that.
