I have about 180 phone numbers that I would like to send weekly texts to. The numbers are all typed out nicely on my computer, but most of them are not in my phonebook on my iPhone. I would like to create a Template in SMSD with all the phone numbers already typed in the "To:" field, each separated by a comma. The problem is that it's a lot of numbers, and it would be so much easier to just create a template file on my computer, cope/paste all the numbers in there, and then upload it to the SMSD.app directory on my phone.
One of the files in the SMSD.app directory is called "SMSDTemplates.plist". I figured this was the right file to edit, I opened it up and this is the code I found:
This looks like the Example Template already included in the Template section on the phone. I tried editing this file and putting in my own list of phone numbers in the "<key>contactNumbers</key> <array><string>example</string></array>" where the word "example" is. But for some reason this doesn't affect anything. In the iPhone, it still has the default contact "Amrut Joshi" with none of the numbers I put in there.Quote:

<string>This is an example template. Using templates you can create groups of contacts. Templates can have just the contacts, just the text or both. You can create new templates by tapping on 'Send' and then 'Save as template'. Templates can be deleted by going into the Templates screen and tapping on 'Edit'.
(This is fake template and send should fail for this one!)
Thanks,
-Amrut!

I know this is a new program, but does anyone have an idea as to how to do this?
