There is an easy work around to the "non-existent" add contact button when you have a large group. Follow these steps:
1. Note the name of the contact of the first person in your existing group text;
2. Then, go to contacts and Add the new person that is not currently in the group to your contacts (skip if they are already in your contacts)
3. go to create new message
4. begin by typing in the name of the person identified in #1 above next to the word "To:", this should populate a list of possible text groups
5. find the text group that you want, tap that group, this will filln the "To:" section with the full group
6. you will have a cursur at then end of the full group, start typing the name of the new contact (person in #2) a list will appear and tap on the proper person
7. tap on "text message" and begin to type. The person identified in paragraph #2 has been added.
Godspeed!
