No need to write separate messages or use different software/media. Just confirm and send! Use built-in common messages or create custom ones. Archive them for future usage if you're lazy. Manage your contacts and create custom groups to speedup messaging.

When doing this, remember that some mobile operators might limit the number of your recipients, and having too many recipients may cause failure in your recipients receiving your messages. In addition, always make sure your selected recipients have valid phone numbers. ------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ (English only) available here: https://pcdreamsapps.wixsite.com/easymessage/faq Good looking icons by: Glyphish, glyphish.com CrazEriC, http://crazeric.deviantart.com/ Lenka Meleakova, http://www.profimagazin.cz Visual Pharm, http://www.visualpharm.com Zen Nikki - http://zen-nikki.deviantart.com/
