Paste a column of numbers into an SMS message.

Paste a column of numbers into an SMS message.

If I want to send a column to a group of say five (5) different ten (10) digit numbers, My Android Galaxy Note 8 throws up the error that says "unable to add this recipient, recipient's number is not recognized" I've tried several separators, ; space and enter but no progress.

Please advise. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

You type in the number, then the PLUS icon in front of it. Then you do the next number, plus, next nr, plus, etc etc.
Yes, basically, I'm saying you cannot paste them all. You can paste them one by one though.

Holy crap. I need to do this allot. The one-by-one thing is not a sustainable solution.
Please note there are other third party SMS apps in the Play Store. Sadly, it's hard to find out if they support contact lists. Others are ad supported, or some need a subscription.

Another way is to ask your telecoms provider for a web version to submit SMS's. Or if they have a USB modem solution (where another SIM card is inserted), that has the proper PC software with your requirements.
Hi Ted,

If you've got your contacts in Google and they all have the same label then you can send a bulk message from the Google Contacts app.  If that's applicable, let me know and i'll explain further.

Cheers,

Rob, this looks feasible. I'm evaluating...
Apologies Ted, did that mean you wanted me to detail the process or have you found how to do it?
Sorry about the slow reply. I don't currently see a way to do it
