title: Sending sms to multiple people in android
body: <p>I want to know if there is anyway that I can send sms to multiple number of people using the SmsManager. I know that I can run a loop through the contacts and send sms individually but I figured that there may be a way to do this.</p>
  
  <p>The code I use is given below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SmsManager.getDefault().sendTextMessage("PHONE_NOS", null,msg.getText().toString(), sentPI, deliveredPI);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PS: I have tried using ";" as a separator. But the only thing that happens is that it sends an sms only to the first person in the list.</p>
  
  <p>For the benefit of people who are seeing this late, its not possible to send SMS to multiple people. As Bill Mote has pointed out, if there was such a thing possible, there would have been an API which would have taken a "List-of-numbers" as an argument. 
  So the only possible solution is to have an iterator for the numbers and send them one at a time. </p>
