No I don't think you can. There's a separate thread on the subject here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/246179-need-help-handcent-go-sms-pro.html Hope you find it helpful.

Yes, I've done that, thanks.

Yup, I've disabled notifications in the stock app so should only get them from Handcent now.

Brilliant, thanks.

I was using the stock SMS app but am now using Handcent which has group messaging function. The only slightly irritating thing is when I get a text now I get 2 alerts and it shows up in both apps. But that's a small price to pay for being able to send group texts, which I need to do regularly.

I tried turning on mobile data & wifi but the message settings remained the same as in my previous screenshot. I now have a solution using Hancent and/or Coyote's workaround but it seems from what Bar81 said the settings vary between different handsets even though they're all the same model...

That's right, I just want to send the same SMS to multiple group recipients, not have a group conversation in the same thread. Handcent & Citizen Coyote seem to have found a way to do this but I still don't understand how the same phone & OS have different settings as shown by the screenshots above.

Ok thanks. Here's the screenshot of my message settings. There's no Group options under MMS or SMS.

No problem. Btw, how do you post a pic of your phone's screen like you did in your first post? And I know what emoji are now too, thanks to google ;)

A couple of people have suggested this but in my phone's message settings there are no options to select group messaging under SMS or MMS. How can it be that people with the same handset & OS have different settings? I don't understand why that would be.

No problem. I don't know what emoji are anyway, but I still don't see from your pic how it shows how to send sms to groups without adding recipients individually, or am I missing something?

There is no Group Messaging option in my message settings. That was the first thing I checked when I got the phone but nothing there! I don't understand your second sentence.

That picture doesn't show how to add group recipients to SMS. What are the icons in the message field?

Thanks, I had already read your thread and it didn't have an answer to my particular issue, but with Citizen Coyote's solution or the Handcent app it seems I've found a way round it.

I don't have that option in my message settings for SMS or MMS.
