Before I buy an Iphone, has "reply all" bug been fixed in group messages?

I have searched all over the internet and it seems like Iphones have a major problem that does NOT seem to be fixed yet.
Currently, I have a G2 with T-mobile. When I send a text message to several people and they reply to me, only I see the replies. Not everyone gets everyone else's replies.
I have noticed with my husband's Iphone 5s, if I send a text message to 5 people and one person responds, ALL five people see that one response. Very annoying.
On his Iphone, I have turned off group messaging and Imessage but this does not turn off the reply all feature when I send a text to a group.
Before, I go out and buy my own Iphone 5s, is there any way to turn off the "reply all" feature? Remember, I have disabled both group messaging and IMessage. In the settings, Group Message and IMessage are switched to off. Even with these settings off, when I send out group texts and one person replies to me - everyone sees it.
How can this really be turned off? Or is this still an Apple glitch?
If it is still an Apple glitch, I will not be buying an Iphone. I want to send group text messages but not annoy everyone with everyone else's responses.
Thanks in advance for your help and time!

Is there a work around for the Iphone? Like buying a separate texting app?
If so, do you have any recommendations?
I would like to get an Iphone because of its other features, but for work purposes (I work in a nonprofit with teenaged human trafficking victims) I need to be careful with my text messages.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

  • Syncing Iphone and Iphone has deleted ALL contacts from Outlook - Help!

    I have on many occassions synced my Iphone without issue.
    This time syncing the IPhone has deleted ALL the contacts on the hone and WITHIN Outlook.
    Can I regain the lost contacts safely from the back up?
    I have over 300 contacts and don't want to have to copy them all in manually.
    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Restore the missing contacts file on your PC from your PC backup.
    Or, it you've backed up your iphone to icloud or itunes, you can try performing a restore of the iphone.

  • IPhone 5s will not send or receive mms/group messaging

    Hello,
    I recently got a new iPhone 5s for my birthday. Before I had a iphone 4. My carrier is verizon
    I had never been able to send pictures to friends who have non iphone phones. I also was never able to receive a group message with people who have non iPhones and iPhones. When I try to send a group message including non iphone users, it sends all messages independently. I have tried everything from turning iMessage and mms on and off to taking out my SIM card. My friend who has an iphone started a group chat with users of iphone and non iphone, though I am still not able to receive the messages even with a new phone and a new SIM card. Is this a problem with verizon? Even so my friends who receive the group chat have verizon and still get the messages. Please I need to fix this because it's extremely aggravating that a simple group messaging function does not work and that no one so far can give me answer on how to fix this. Thanks.

    Contact Verizon. Group messages in iOS send as MMS messages, which is the same thing used to send picture messages. Your account is not provisioned properly (or you do not have a plan that includes MMS messaging).

  • My Iphone 5 won't send pictures or accomplish group messaging. Please advise! If cannot be fixed soon I will switch to the Galaxy phone. Anyone else having this issue?

  • Before I buy an iPhone 5s Smartphone?

    If I buy an iPhone 5s Smartphone at full price $649.99, does that mean I can buy a $10 airtime card for a month and when that card expires, I can buy another $10 airtime card to use in a few months or maybe next year?
    The iPhone 5s Smartphone seems to have several models.
    Model A1533 (GSM)
    Model A1533 (CDMA)
    Model A1453
    Model A1457
    Model A1530
    Can you tell I the difference between each models?

        These are great questions asking11220! The iPhones 5, 5s, 5c are 4G phones, and you're unable to have 4G phones on Pre-Pay plans. Therefore, you won't be able activate any of these devices on a Pre-Pay account. You can find all Pre-Pay phones here: http://bit.ly/10IfJnD

  • Before I buy an iPhone

    I've been thinking of buying an iPhone for quite some time. I talked to a few people that I work with and said that they had great reception and loved theirs.
    So I made the leap and placed an order for one, only to find out a day or two later that while there is reception on AT&Ts network in the town I work in and close to it, there's not actually signal at my home. I immediately canceled my order.
    Upon checking the coverage map, the closest the signal comes to me is about 1 mile away. Which isn't terrible considering that I'm hardly ever at home so I'd probably have a signal every other time.
    Afterward I was talking to a friend and he was telling me that I might be able to run my iPhone through my wifi router at home to get some form of reception. Is this viable? And if it is, what kind of connectivity/functionality am I going to have at home? What services will I have access to?
    (I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this.) Thank you to anyone would could be of any help with these questions.

    Is this viable?
    Not for a cellular signal.
    what kind of connectivity/functionality am I going to have at home? What services will I have access to?
    Internet access via WiFi

  • Exchange/Reply All bug?

    Recently mail has started including my own email as one of the recipients when I choose reply all. It only happens with my Exchange account and not my .me account. It's also not the BCC yourself option in settings. Any ideas why and is there a fix? Is it a new bug? Is it an Exchange setting? I just noticed it happening as of a few days ago.

  • Apple Mail - "Reply All" bug!?

    I have a number of "rules" (being old school I prefer to call them filters) that place any new mail into a designated folder (ie. mail from @apple.com move message to mailbox "Apple").
    It used to be that when I did a "reply all" from ANY email, my email address would not be included. Now if I do a "reply all" from my "inbox" no problem but if I do it from a filtered mailbox folder it will add my email address. SO I have to now go threw the 4 or 5 or more email address that may be there and remove my email address. That alone is somewhat anoying but it really becomes anoying in that I am (as most are) a creature of habbit and I always use the keyboard cmd-shift-r.
    I have made sure that "Automaticlly Cc myself" is turned off and I have checked to make sure that it is the same on a generic machine... anyone have any ideas how I can turn this "feature" off?! In other words NEVER Cc myself.

  • PDF in Safari: Fonts not displaying correctly: Has this bug been fixed?

    Last year I was trying to view a PDF on the iPad with Safari, and there was a font corruption problem: On zooming in, the type would become garbled. Now granted, I was using a non-standard font (Univers Type 1). I also noticed this problem with certain magazines in the MagCloud app. I decided to work around the problem by converting my type to outlines; while this worked, it made the PDFs much larger in file size.
    I checked this bug again under iOS 4.3 and could not replicate it. I've found anecdotal evidence out there that as of iOS 4.2.1 this may have been fixed, but I can't find confirmation. Any help in this regard is much appreciated. I need to present my project managers with discrete evidence that this bug has been fixed before they'll allow me to go ahead with "live" type -- and as we all know, the plural of anecdote is not data. Thanks.

    Apologies, I should also make clear another key point...where it's blowing out (multiple places), I'm using apex_item within the SQL to render the form. So that's where the problem lies

  • Has this bug been fixed in 1.3 and beyond?

    There is a problem with adding a Mnemonic to a JLabel and linking it to a JTextField (I haven't tried other JTextComponents). Copy the following code, and try to run it:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class SwingProblem
       public static void main( String [] args )
             Create labels and text fields.
             You can use the keyboard mnemonics to switch
             between the fields: ALT-S and ALT-J.
          // For the top of the frame
          JLabel jlTop = new JLabel( "Swing" );
          jlTop.setDisplayedMnemonic( KeyEvent.VK_S );
          JTextField jtfTop = new JTextField( 20 );
          jlTop.setLabelFor( jtfTop );
          JPanel jpTop = new JPanel();
          jpTop.add( jlTop );
          jpTop.add( jtfTop );
          // Now, for the bottom of the frame
          JLabel jlBottom = new JLabel( "Jazz" );
          jlBottom.setDisplayedMnemonic( KeyEvent.VK_J );
          JTextField jtfBottom = new JTextField( 20 );
          jlBottom.setLabelFor( jtfBottom );
          JPanel jpBottom = new JPanel();
          jpBottom.add( jlBottom );
          jpBottom.add( jtfBottom );
          // Make the frame
          JFrame frame = new JFrame( "What's up with this?" );
          frame.setSize( 300, 150 );
          frame.addWindowListener( // stop the program already!!

    I am currently using JDK 1.2.2 on Micro**** Win****, and am waiting for the arrival of a disc with JDK 1.3 (I don't have the patience to wait for the download of the newer JDK over the telephone line...)
    For those who have JDK 1.3 or 1.4(Beta), has this problem been fixed? I wanted to know for sure before I added this to the Bug Report.
    Thanks

    It has been fixed in 1.3.
    Sorry for the post

  • Has the I05 update been fixed?

    Still running I)4 on my original IPAD and am fearful of updating to I05. Has the update been fixed?

    iOS 5 update works very well on my iPad 2 ... I like multi-touch gestures the most as I can use less of Home button. However, WiFi Sync with my iTunes Windows 7 (x64) does NOT work despite trying several solutions suggested by users in this forum.
    However, iOS 5 update on iPhone 4 has been very bad just like the thousands of users who have been complaining in this forum and elsewhere. Extremely sluggish performance and high battery consumption rate. After trying several combinations to turn off several SHOW PIECE features, I have finally narrowed it down to CALENDAR Notification ... turn in off in Settings > Notification > In Notification Center (scroll down to) > Calendar > Notification Center [OFF].  Turning this off defeats the purpose ... 2 steps forward (with iOS) and 4 steps backwards (Calendar alerts/notification is very important). With Calendar Notification ON, the CPU usage is over 90% ... the moment it is turned OFF, it returns to less than 10%.
    Well, this is my experience ... it may or may not fix for others though!
    Cheers

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.  Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
