Q: Cannot do a group text with samsung devices.

Example, when I create a group text with one samsung user and iphone users (one iphone5s and one iphone6). They all get the group text because I would never receive the text messages but the other iphone users get the message from the samsung. I'm able to text each one of them individually. I can also do a group text with the two iphone users. It looks like a setting on my phone or something. I was able to do a group text with samsung people until this morning. Frustrated.

    Hi Keomany,

     

    iMessage does only work on Apple devices.

    There are alternative messaging apps in the App Store.

    Hi Keomany,

     

    Well, if it was possible, I think it was a bug, it shouldn't be possible to iMessage to Samsung users.

    I even shut off imessage and did the group text and everyone get the text and everyone reply and everyon get the texts but I don't get texts. I think it's my phone or the text message on my phone. I'm going to reset it to factory settings and see before I go and see ATT.
