Android : How to Forward SMS to a group

I recently bought Realiance CDMA Samsung Galaxy i899 phone, but I was surprised to see that it had no option to forward an SMS to a group of friends, after few days of research I am able to do the same
You first need to create groups, and to do that you need to first make sure that your address book is in sync with the gmail contacts list, once that is done , you can create groups in gmail contacts and the same will appear in the phone.
the second part of how to send message to a group can be accomplished by installing handsend SMS software from the Android market.
