You can import a CONTACTS group from a Windows e-mail client. Whether or not this can be done from a Mac I cannot say because I, as of yet, do not have such a fine personal computer. ---- - Bill & Leader Dog Holland - "Clothes make the man.

Contacts does support groups, but you can't call or email a group in one go. You can, however, send one message to everyone at once. So long as you don't have your phone set to erase messages after a certain amount of time, you can find that conversation later, open it, and send another message. It will go to everyone you included, without you needing to type them all in again. WhyApple hasn't just embraced groups is beyond me, but there you go. Hopefully someone has a better idea.

I ask because if I need to do so, it would be nice to send a text to all of my coworkers all at once if I'm going to be absent or late or whatever. At this time, I have to type each of their names when I'm going to make such a text. Can I put them all into a group and go at it an easier way? Thanks for any help.
