Group Texting w/ More Than 10 People

Question

Group Texting w/ More Than 10 People

I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS 6 installed. My friends have a group text going, but due to limitations on my hardware/software/settings, I cannot continue one single group messgae with this many people. Each time someone responds to the group text, it opens a new message on my iPhone with a random selection of 10 people in the group, causing me to have to try and follow the conversation by bouncing between messages. Is it possible with my current hardware/software to have more than 10 people on one single group message? I am open to app recommendations if that is the only solution...thanks in advance!!

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2

The Group Messages can only works with iMessages, not with SMS standard, try it now!

Thanks for the responses!

However, I think this may just be a network issue. I had this problem with AT&T, I just recently switched to Verizon and with the same settings on the phone (albeit I now have an iPhone 4S), I can now group text with more than 10 people!

If it is really an issue for you, you may need to switch carriers, otherwise I am afraid there may not be a solution to this, as I think I tried everything on my AT&T iPhone 4 (iMessage vs. SMS vs. MMS, etc.).

Good luck!
