Help Group Text Splitting Up

[utbandalero]

My last phone I had when I sent a group message it kept all of it together but right now when I send out a text message it splits into 3 or 4 different texts and then everyone else getting the message can't group reply back. It makes conversation difficult. How do I fix this?

Some advanced SMS features are actually controlled differently, even by similar devices that all run Android. There are alternative apps available in the market, but I think replies come back as separate people regardless.... In my experience anyway. SMS provides no way to tell whether a person responded to you specifically or to everybody in a group message. Likewise, it's impossible to look at a text and tell whether it was sent to just you or copied to a thousand people.
