GROUP TEXTING ON AN IPHONE 4

I am doing a charity race simulator event on Friday (see www.justgiving.com) and want to send out an sms to all my mobile contacts in my iphone, how do I do this without selecting them all one by one ?

Can this be done or is there an app for this ?

I look forward to hearing from anyone....

iPhone 4, iOS 4

A simple way, that doesn't require an app, is to select the people one by one as you normally would, write the message but never delete that group. Every time you need to send that group a message just open the messages app and choose that group.

This feature is cool, but at the same time it's dumb. Say I want to send a picture to 5 people, and I create a new MMS and attach 5 peoples names to it, (so I don't have to send 5 separate texts individually), well, now when any of those 5 people reply, EVERYONE see's their reply!!! Many people are getting mad at me, and it never used to do this. I was told at&t just turned a setting on, that makes everyone get and see your replies, even if "group messaging" is turned off. Mine is turned off, and this is driving me nuts.
