You can send a group text from your iPhone (or any O2 mobile) for free by setting up a group on the O2 website. Logon to O2.ie and import your contacts to the online address book. Then go to groups, create the group and add members from your address book. You can then either send webtexts to the group or, if you want to send to the group from your phone at any time, just send a text in the format groupname message to 0866060600. The best thing is that it deducts the texts from your webtext balance whether you send it from the web or your phone.
This method worked great for me when our kids were born, I just made a group called baby and sent 'It's a <insert child gender here>!' to the group from my phone.
Edit: To keep on topic, I forgot to mention that you can save up to 10000 contacts in your O2 address book and there doesn't seem to be any limit to the amount you can have in a group.0 -

The SIM backup section of the O2 site seems to indicate that only 250 contacts can be saved. It also says not from an iPhone :-( I gues I could use my back up phone to do it. But 250 is nowhere near enough.0 -
Sounds like Vodafone is talking through their hoo haa because sending a text to multiple people is just a normal text, repeated a set amount of times (which is hardly too hard for a phone to handle). I'm sure they'd all send no problem, for a test why not add yourself multiple times (about 15) to the sending list and see if you receive 15 texts back (it might take a few minutes).
O2, not Vodafone
My old phone wouldn't send more than 5 so it is real. 0 -
