Everyone head over to the BBB website and file a complaint. It's easy and it's probably the best way to get results. https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started
Verizon has no leverage for iOS or Android. This isn't 5 yrs ago.
I used to group text with 8 of my closest friends (iphone & android) on a daily basis. To them, WP has changed from a curiosity (on my trophy) to a complete joke (on my 928). With such a basic feature missing, anything positive I say is met with mocking laughter. So frustrated.
Download the GroupMe app.
The update in July will address this issue (Group messaging) Hang in there until then, it is a part of the update.
100%With respect, how sure are you of this?

Seriously? I hope there is a way to shut it off.

You're 100% sure? Well that's good news. But I'm going to continue to encourage people to go to the BBB site and file complaints to vzw.
I do not like Group Messaging. Nothing is more annoying than getting everyone's replies to a message they sent you. I totally understand why Verizon shut it off. Surprised it isn't going to be the new way to go with apps being able to replace the feature.

How is them making it all in one thread any more annoying than receiving group messages in individual threads instead?
No offense, but this is the kind of nonsensical talk that moves carriers to make backwards decisions like the decision VZW made to exclude group messaging from wp8's in the first place.
Definitely, and it's very pervasive on these boards. The truth is that it's way easier for many people to switch OS than carriers. Just speaking for myself and no one else, if the HTC One comes out on VZW before this issue is resolved, that's where I'm going, as much as I love WP8 and develop for it.No, it's much worse, right? In group text you get one thread. Without it you get a hundred different threads you can't respond to.
Also, on AT&T you can turn Group Text off.
I always love when people say "I don't like an optional feature that's considered standard so there's no reason to have it." WP8 seems to be especially victim to this. "You don't need X feature that every other phone has, you just need to learn to use your phone better!"
It's that attitude, like you said, that keeps the OS behind rather than pushes it forward.
Seriously? I hope there is a way to shut it off.
