In my Nokia 7250i I had an option in SMS for Distribution lists, which I
made extensive use of.

My Nokia 6680 however does not have this feature. Does anyone know of a
Symbian application that will fill this requirement?

You can make GROUPS on your 6680 and send a sms to a complete group !

Hello Henk, I have been right through Messaging and cannot see where I
can create a Distribution list for Text Messages. Could you please
point me in the right direction?

In CONTACTS, make a group of persons (i.e. SMS) to who you want to send the
SMS.

When writing a SMS, instead putting a name in the box where the sms has to
go, put the GROUP into the box; then the sms will be send to ALL members of
the specified group!

AHH, thank you very much Henk. I see now rather than having a
distribution list as in my old Nokia 7250i, I simply make use of Caller
Groups. Interesting concept, at least I don't need to install an
application to do this now!
