A small number of junior high schoolers ought to be able to text several

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Has anyone found a good solution for easily texting a group of people? I kn=
ow you can create a texting group on certain phone models but I'd rathe=
r have it so you only need one telephone number entry in your phone's c=
ontact list that you have to text to that distributes the message out to a =
handful of people? I tried going the mailing list route where you send an e=
mail (instead of a text) and the mailing list distributes a copy of the mes=
sage to a special address that gets converted to a text (each carrier has t=
heir own email address convention) but different carriers handled replying =
to that text different and it got confusing.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any suggestions!<br>
