Not sure about your carrier but I know Verizon blocked that feature for a while, but when they blocked it the messages would still go through, but separate into different threads.

It sounds like maybe you don't have data service, as group texts are sent as mms and not sms. I would check that first!

Yes... I just came to know that... They are going as MMS and not SMS. In my previous phone, Sony Ericsson cedar, if we add more than one recipients, they would go as individual text messages....

Now you do have the option to turn Group Text off and they will send as individual sms if that is what you prefer? Settings > applications > messaging > Group text
