First, what type of group text are you trying to send? There are three types of group messages: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. Group iMessages appear in blue text bubbles, go through Apple instead of your carrier, are protected by end-to-end encryption, and (therefor essentially) all members of the group should be iPhone users only. The other two types are for all users and go through you carrier. For more information, see:
