HELP SMS10 ppl limit

**unoimkewl** · 05-31-2010, 10:44 AM

Hey I was wondering if there is a tweak for the messaging app that gets rid of the 10 people limit. When you create a new message you can only send it to 10 people. This is annnoying cuz I constantly send out mass texts. If there is a tweak can you show me the links or what ever i need to do to get rid of the limit.
ps twitter is not what im looking for.

nevermind i found the answer to my own problem...
turns out all i had to do was change an integer.. haha how simple

**raziiq** · 06-25-2010, 09:49 PM

Which integer?? You can always share your tweak with others.

**unoimkewl** · 06-25-2010, 10:53 PM

Ok you want to ssh onto your iPhone, but personally i used iFile for this cuz its more convenient.

1. Go to system > library > Carrier Bundles > (then navigate to your carrier bundle; in my case its att) ATT_US.bundle

2. Then you'll need to edit the carrier.plist.
3. Locate this code:

Code:

<key>MMS</key>
	<dict>
		<key>GroupModeEnabled</key>
		<false/>
		<key>MMSC</key>
		<string>http://mmsc.cingular.com</string>
		<key>MaxMessageSize</key>
		<integer>9000000</integer>
		<key>MaxRecipients</key>
		<integer>100</integer>
		<key>MaxVideoBitrate</key>
		<integer>9310972</integer>
		<key>OnWhileRoaming</key>
		<true/>
		<key>Proxy</key>
		<string>wireless.cingular.com:80</string>
	</dict>

You see where it says

Code:

<key>MaxRecipients</key>
		<integer>100</integer>

Well the integer should say 10, so all you have to do is change it to what ever you want. In my case I put 100 cuz I dont think I'll ever need to send out a text with more than 100 people. Then just press save/done. Go into your messages app and there you go. Hope this helped.

BTW this is on 3.x. I have no idea about 4.0 cuz i havent upgraded yet.

Oh and I just checked it for Softbank and the integer seems to be 20 so you can just change it. But once again im on 3.1.2. Give it a shot on 4.0 and tell me how it goes.

hmm, thanks for the tweak, and ya i just checked it on iOS4 , it works.

I don't think you're in the right spot.

**mrsteve8** · 07-09-2010, 07:48 AM

i followed the same path you took to get there

**unoimkewl** · 07-09-2010, 10:33 AM

Post a screenshot

And what's your ios version?

**mrsteve8** · 07-09-2010, 11:35 AM

i am on 3.1.3

**unoimkewl** · 07-09-2010, 02:31 PM

Are you opening the carrier.plist with a plist editor? Download a program and copy the carrier.plist to the desktop then open it with the editor then edit the code. The way I used was downloading iFile through Cydia which has a built in plist editor.

**mrsteve8** · 07-09-2010, 03:45 PM

I was just double clicking it in WinSCP and editing it that way but I wil try your way now

EDIT: I opened it up in a plist editor and that didn't work either. would a theme i have applied affect this in some way possibly?

ok i see that ur using winscp go to where eva the carrier.plist u wanna edit is once there open up a terminal console....either CRTL-t or Commands> Open Terminal hit ok and type this plutil -xml carrier.plist once done then u can just double click on the file to edit it close and save once done and thats it..if anything to change back the file open the terminal window and again while under the correct file and put plutil -binary carrier.plist and it will change it back...hope this helps

**mrsteve8** · 07-10-2010, 08:55 AM

ok since you seem to know your way around the iphone is there anyway I can create a group of contacts that i can select instead of selecting each one when i want to send the same thing to every person.

That worked by the way thanks

**unoimkewl** · 07-31-2010, 02:30 AM

I have no idea. In fact I upgraded to 4.0 and got tired of it sucking so downgraded to 3.1.2 and now when I try to do this it won't work.

I think it has to do with the baseband. Cuz i don't think the baseband gets downgraded when you downgrade. I'll see how I can downgrade my baseband....... And see if it works.
