Group text messaging?

---

I was just wondering if we will be able to ever get true group messaging like the setting applies within the messaging app. One feature I liked in the iphone (I think iOS5) was when I have a group convo with someone all of the messages from the different people will appear in the same thread. In the Galaxy S 3 it sends it out as a group message but when I receieve the message it goes into its own separate thread and not just that I would only get the text from the person that started the group message. Is this a simple glitch or is the whole option just really misleading?

Exactly! which is why im just hoping an update comes soon! (even though Verizon sucks when it comes to that) or at least a modder finds a way to fix this problem if thats even possible that is

I use GoSMS, works great, not as clean interface as standard messaging app but having a MMS is more imporatnt to me.

VZ Messages

I use the VZ Messages app from the Play store (free). It works perfectly and has pop-ups. It seemed to work much better with group SMS than GoSMS did.

Definitely check out groupme. www.groupme.com and the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...LmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..

It lets people with dumb phones get in on the action. Everybody texts once central number, and texts are redistributed from the same number to everybody else and includes the name of the sender (which you can assign...pretty fun)

Downside being that people have to accept the group and add this number to contacts as "Bros" or whatever you want it to be. Couldn't be more effective for my needs though.

Does it work for MMS as well? I couldn't see where it said one way or another on their website.

I'm in 2 group texts with 5 in each. I get on average of 60+ texts a day and the damn program LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGS. I would love an alternative.

I don't like Groupme because it is a different phone number. I do however like the interface.

I use go sms but it doesn't group real well, I always assumed it was the way they responded. maybe I'll check out be messenger.
