I'm sure you as well as everyone else would agree if they would just release a statement as to why this was removed we would feel a lot better.
I had a thought today. I believe that the HTC 8X is Unlocked on Verizon. If someone could extract their Messaging.xap from an AT&T or T Mobile phone maybe we could sideload this onto the Verizon Phone which would allow us to group text since it is the app. I could be wrong though since messaging may be embedded into WP8.
Just wanted to let you know, you may think you're replying to one person but you are not. Everyone included on the group text will receive your replies.
That's the only thing stopping me from switching to vzw... the only solution I have heard of is something like groupme, but that's obviously not the same... I'm not about to convince everyone I know to switch from normal texting to groupme.
Ok, I have an 822 on Vzn, but try this. Go to into your People Hub. Swipe to the right (left side of the "All" listing). Do you see Groups listed? This is where I set up my group texting. I can group text to all sorts of different phone OS's.
So I have heard GroupMe will allow you to receive group messages but I have no idea how it works. Are there any other alternative apps out there?
its actually pretty easy. Just use the app to send a group text. The app has access to ur phone book. The recipients receive it as a regular text. One cool thing is if u only have an email for a contact and not a number, u can still add them to the group and they will receive the message as an email. Its a cool app, but I'd still like group messaging on my phone. Its actually the easiest app of its kind to use. Kik and What'sapp, people need to be using the app for it to work. Groupme they don't.
FYI on groupme, I'm pretty sure there is no way to delete the messages in the app. So if you have something to hide I'd not use it. I don't but you might!
