How do I send a text message on Droid Mini to a contact list group?

[AC Question]

I created a contact group and edited it to add some contacts (I chose as "account" Phone - Backup Assistant Plus" because when I selected the gmail account, Edit would not let me add any contacts to the contact list!).

Now, how can I send a text message to my newly created contact group? Typing the contact group name in the "To:" field for the text message does not seem to work.

Is there an icon you can tap to get to Contacts? If there is, you can choose Groups, then choose the group you want.
