I've been having an issue the last couple of months receiving group messages from other iphone users. I have tried turning off iMessage, but that doesn't seem to help.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1, Verizon
I recently got an iPhone because I needed to be able to group text with my boss and coworkers. However, upon getting a brand new iPhone 4s (Verizon) I discovered that my phone still does not send or receive group texts. I have turned on group messaging so I should be receiving them. Is it something I can fix?

I just replaced my droid based phone with an iphone 5s. I have MMS turned off to save the amount of data we are using. But now I cannot send or receive group text messages. This is a major issue for me since my kids' sports coaches use this to give us updates...etc.Â
Is there a setting I am missing? I am almost wishing I had stayed with my old phone.

I had an iPhone 5 and dumped it to hop on the S6 train. However, I was receiving group messages from other iPhone users on iMessage prior. I disabled iMessage before I switched, had AT&T update the system and I still can't receive group messages and images from other iPhone users.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got an iPhone 5s (my first smart phone), and I discovered that I can't receive group messages if my cellular data is turned off. This is true even if my phone is connected to a Wifi network. I also cannot send picture messages if the cellular data is off. My basic phone could do these things, so why can't a smart phone?

I recently switched from an iphone 4 to an LG G3 and have been unable to consistently receive group messages from iphone users. Sometimes messages will come through, but about 95% of the time I do not receive them; however, the people in my group do receive my messages. I am aware that this is a common issue among Android users, and I have read about it extensively online for weeks now, but I still have not come up with a solution. I have tried using multiple different messaging apps including the default messaging app, chomp sms, textra, hangouts, etc. I have also turned off imessages on my old phone, typed in the code for Apples "unsubscribe" from imessage thing, and texted STOP to the number to disable imessages.
I am running the latest version of Android. I also replaced my old SIM but still no luck. MMS group message settings are all enabled on my phone too. I didn't see a post about this in regards to the LG G3 specifically so I decided to make one. I have heard suggestions of people saying to tell your iphone friends to adjust settings on their phones, but I wanted to find a solution without having to tell all of my friends to mess with their settings to accommodate me. I absolutely love everything about my new android phone after making the switch from Apple, but this one problem is seemingly large that I hope it doesn't force me to go back to an iphone.
Whenever my friends start a group message I don't receive all the messages from each member of the group. As a former iPhone user, I believe their phones still think I have an iPhone and keep sending me iMessages instead of normal texts.

I am in multiple group texts but for some reason with one specific group (the other users all have Iphones) I cannot recieve any text messages from them in the group? My phone is completely updated and, as I just mentioned, texting works perfectly fine with everyone else...

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I can receive texts from everyone in my contacts and who I normally text, but this one girl in my contacts has been telling me she receives my texts but then complains when I dont answer her, but I have not been receiving these texts. So I am curious as to what could be the problem with my Iphone 4? Ive updated it to 5.1 today to see if that was the problem but we are still having issues, and I also checked that she is also using verizon.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy buddies sometimes send me group messages and according to their settings, they shouldn't have a subject line showing in any of their messages. Why does the subject line show up? I have the same exact settings as them. I don't understand if the problem is within my phone or their phone.

I have the Droid Pro ..a lot of my friends have the iPhone. Whenever they send out a group text I can't read it. It just says "unsupported multimedia message". One of my friends has a Sprint iPhone and I can read his group texts when they come in.

Have problems receiving group texts from certain people? I receive all other people's group texts without problems (I've got a 1020, AT&T), but one friend (android, Verizon) texts the group and I can't see her texts. I see her name come up in a bubble, but can't see the text. However, she can text me pictures in a group text - go figure!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Bold 9900. Under "contacts" I have created a distribution list, mainly my baseball team so if a game is cancelled, I would like to address them all in one swoop. The problem is, only 8 out of 18 receive a text. I go to the "text message" icon, press the blackberry button on "compose text message". When it asks "To:" I select from my contact list, my baseball team.
Some of the entries on my list have an email address only while others have both. What do I have to do to successfully reach everyone on the list? Would it work better if it were only email or mobile addresses? Does it matter whether they are MTS or Rogers customers for their cell phones? Do I require to add 1+then the area code for the cell phone numbers?
I have noticed in the last few days that when I wake my phone, I get a bunch of text messages. Like its losing its connection when it is sleeping.

The main thing that is bugging me is that i'm not able to receive group messages when any of my friends send them via their iPhones.
Checked the following basic things but not sure what else could be the problem... Checked all of their phones to make sure my number is saved under 'phone' and not iPhone in their contactsForgot to turn iMessage off on my iPhone before i switched phone and network but used my new simcard in a friends iPhone and turned it off,
I can see everything the group does but noone sees me. They were able to see my messages before I did a software upgrade to version 4.7.1.61. I've done a couple of battery pulls and they are not working.
