      • Hello, Can some one please let me know how to send an instant text message to a list of contacts from an external application.

Please provide sample code if you have. Thanks, M.Sri

I have done everything possible that I can find. When command line and interpreter was mentioned, I was lost. I need more elementary directions. I think it was Urbsman that replied.
