Texting phone numbers not in my contacts

I am trying to text 3 phone numbers in a group text that are not in my contacts. I tried adding a space after each number (there wasn’t the option of a comma). When I added a space with the three numbers and then added my text and hit send it combined all three numbers into one. I did this multiple times with the same response. Very frustrating.

Hi Kevnjacque,


It seems you need help with group messages and we can help.


Instead of adding both phone numbers with a space between them, enter one then press return button. It formats it as a phone number. Now you can add another phone number to send a group text to.


Here's some info on the steps:

Send a group text message on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
