Group Text Message

How do you reply just to sender or at least find out who the sender is in a group text message.

for imessage:  the contacts name should be right above the text or pics.   If you do a reply to that text everyone in that group will receive your reply.  Best to just create a new text to the sender and reply to what he/she text you.

  • Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

    I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message.  I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are.  I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

    Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
    Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On

  • Is there a way to send a group text message to more than 10 recepients?

    Is it possible to send a group text message to more than 10 recipients? I called AT&T tech support and they said the phone's software limits group messages to no more than 10.

    Apple does not explain why it makes the choices it does, nor will you get a response
    from Apple on this forum. You can make Apple aware of your thoughts at
    www.apple.com/feedback  Your message will be read, but not answered.
    AFAIK, there is no way to increase the limit of the native app. Use a 3rd party app if that
    function is important to you. Others have expressed similar frustration in the past and
    have chosen another app to fill their needs.

    How can I hide the recipients of a group text message?

    This is Illustrator, no matter which version you are using.
    It doesn't work like in other programmes and Illustrator's behaviour is often undesired.
    There is no good trick that I'm aware of to mimic Draw's or Freehand's way to do it.

  • Is there any way to tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered.

    How can you tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered?

    I use Verizon's Messages+ app; when I send a group text, then long press the message, I get a menu and one of the selections is Message info.  That will show me the contacts I sent the message to.  It doesn't always tell me who got it though - for example, I recently sent a group message to my four kids.  The status shows:
    Child 1 - Delivered (On Verizon, separate plan/account)
    Child 2 - Delivered (On my More Everything plan)
    Child 3 - Delivered (On AT & T)
    Child 4 - Sent (On T-Mobile)
    I got replies from Child 1, 3, 4 - and all the replies all were sent to all in the group.  So I know Child 4 got the message and replied to the group, even though it doesn't say delivered.
    I guess if it says "Sent" or "Delivered" you can assume it was delivered to the recipients phone.  If it did not get sent, it will say it failed to send or something.  Whether the recipient has READ it or not can't be determined, unless, of course, they reply. In that case you know they got it and read it. 

  • Group text messaging

    Why am I not able to group text message on the iPhone 4. I want it to work like a chat room? When I send a message to everyone I want their reply to also be sent to everyone.

    Who is your carrier?
    Enabling this feature is simple:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Group Messaging and turn it on. That's it!
    Now, when you send a group message, if the other user has the feature enabled, they will be able to see everyone in the conversation as well as send a message back to everyone.
    It has been present since iOS 3

    Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages????  YES.
    If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
    Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS.  MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network.  It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance.  But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

  • I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

    I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS.  The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

        Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

  • Send and receive mms and group text messages on Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

    I moved from a basic phone to a smartphone.  I used to be able to receive group text messages and MMS messages without having to use data or be connected via wifi.  Why is it I have to use data or be connected to a wifi sourceto receive those messages now?

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.

  • Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

    My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change? 

    HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
    If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
    If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

  • Why are my group text messages sent as mms?

    Please can someone help, I am on a plan with orange unlimited text. This is ideal for me when using my iphone as in often have to send a group message to 40+ people due to nature of my volunteer work. I am receiving larger bills from orange detail g charges under 'other ' when I called orange they responded by saying that on an iphone if I wish to send a group message the iphone can only send the message as a picture message as its to a group of people. Surely Apple have the technology to send a group text message! That's why I have an unlimited plan?? Please help as my volunteer work is costing me a small fortune!!!

    Hi, TereseS. 
    I had the same issue after the update.  Most likely this feature just needs to be enabled.  Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.

  • Group text messages

    Is there a way to still receive group texts messages without everyone receiving the text seeing my phone number and without receiving everyone's replies to the texts?

    My problem is not with me replying to the sender. My problem is when someone includes me in a group text message along with several others (some of whom I don't even know), and then me receiving a text message everytime someone replies to the group text.
    I would prefer not to see everyone else's reply to a group text that was sent to me.
    I am also concerned that those people that I don't know can see my cell number in the group text details.
