I have a new Lumia 630 DS - Unable to send GROUP SMS/TXT msgs

In my new lumia 630, i can send sms to single contact without any problem. But when i add more than 1 contact in sms or create a group to send sms, the sms is not sent.

Kindly help on this.

Re: I have a new Lumia 630 DS - Unable to send GROUP SMS/TXT msgs

I believe the default action is to use MMS instead of SMS for Group messages, and thus most carriers request you activate this service, however it has a higher cost. SMS can send to multiple users.

Make sure "Messaging >> settings >> Group text" is switched OFF. (Group text "on" will use MMS instead)

That should help. Update us with how it went...
