very important phone texting question

[_33]

"Hey what time are you picking me up?"

"I just sent you a text."

"ok?"

"Well did you get it?"

"I don't know but we're talking on the phone right now using our voices so why don't you just tell me what time you stupid idiot."

My mom isn't good at texting, either. Don't feel bad, Rick. She's only 7 years older than you are.

group text messages might be the most annoying thing like, ever.

stop rough ridin' texting me mom!

It depends on how elite the group is.  The group daris is referring to is probably as elite as it gets.

Group texting is pretty dumb. Like who decided it was a good idea for me to receive fragments of conversations throughout the day, with no continued participation of my own? Like, why would I want to receive texts such as "cool", and "ya bro" from two random people out of the 12-person group text 5 hours after it started? CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THAT crap? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME

[Benja]

UH OH SOMEBODY JUST SAID SOMETHING RACIST IN THE GROUP CONVO THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE A PART OF

the Verizon Messaging App has been pretty good lately for group texts including groups with Iphone users.  I have used for 4+ years and it occassionally with have some issues but it has been solid for the last year+.

I am still using my old Verizon GS3 (grandfathered unlimited data yo) but it works fine on my kids crappy wifi only Samsung Tab 2s so I imagine it will work on a Sprint Evo

sometimes it pays to be a recluse.  i've gotten 3 group texts in my life and never responded to any of them

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. it only works for iphone users, and when iphone users start a group text with a bunch of iphone users + 1 android user, it can really make the android'r feel pretty left out. 

I have an Android phone and am group text messages with iPhone users. It works just fine. 

You know what is just the worst, that 1 android user that makes it all about himself and makes the iPhone users waste their txt messages when the android person could just nut up and get an iPhone so nobody would have to waste their text messages because nobody would be a cheap ass and have an android.

so getting a phone that costs the exact same price as an iphone is being a cheap ass, but worrying about a few cents here or there in text's (who the eff doesn't have unlimited plans anyway?) isn't being a cheap ass.

iphone user logic right there

Blue messages are faster than green messages seven

That's a tough situ. Rick. Might need to switch to Windows Phone, it supports group messaging.

[Mrs. Gooch]

You know what is really annoying? When someone that you don't even know replies to a group text, but you get it as a single text from some rando number and it is totally out of context and then you are thinking "Who the eff is this texting me about pudding?"

RD if you download the Google chat app it works like a more up-to-date texting app.
