Group text (SMS, MMS) on S3

[Droid_Rookie]

I'm trying to determine if the Galaxy S3 on T-mobile is able to receive txt messages that were sent to a group (iPhone users) in one thread. I get the messages but I get them per person on different threads. So if I want to reply I have to reply to each individual and that is a pain. I have downloaded both Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS and they don't work or at least I can't set it up to work like group messages on the iPhone.

So I want to be able to recieve messages and able to reply to the same thread and all reciepents on original recieved message would get my message. Just like email thread or how iPhone does group messages.

From what I understand Go SMS Pro can do this if I start the original message to a group of contacts or numbers, but it doesn't if you are just a reciepent and try to reply it will only reply to the contact that sent out the message and not the group.

Works for me on AT&T, but i would never use T-Mobile anyway.

I use GO. If you go into Settings-->Advanced-->Send&Receive Settings and scroll to the bottom you will see MMS Group Chat. Make sure that is marked and it should work. It's not perfect (by that I mean you will get 2 notifications for every received message) but it will keep it all in a group for you.
