Group Texting on New Droid Maxx

Just upgraded from Droid 3 to Droid Maxx. I manage several teams and use group text and email messaging all the time. You CAN NOT send text or email to group with 4.2? Are you kidding me - why would they remove this feature? Bringing phone back to Verizon. If iPhone or Windows can group text, I'm switching.
 
Can someone please reply with a solution for this. I am having the same problem. This is ridiculous that my group messaging does not work. Group Messaging in settings is switched on but anytime I reply to a group it goes to everyone individually. I have the Droid Maxx its running 4.2.2.

I cant use a 3rd party messaging app like "Whatsapp" because I cant ask my friends to signup for an app just so I can be in a group text when coordinating events.

I upgraded from an Iphone4 and group messaging is an everyday need for me. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Click on your contacts icon. On the top there is a "Group" area. Add your groups there and then you'll be able to send group messages to whichever group you select. Hope this helped!

I did that and it still did not work. Are your group saved on back up assistant?

I am using 4.4 and the group texting does not work. I have 2 groups set up in my Contacts. When I start a new message, the To field does not show the Contacts icon to select for filling in the group name. Typing in the group name results in a message that says "no valid recipients" or the gist of that meaning. I used to be able to do this with a previous Android version. Now what?

My groups are saved on Backup Assistant.
 
Switched from Galaxy S4 to Maxx2 at suggestion of Verizon salesman, "exactly the same but with more camera pixels and turbo 48 hour battery" - not, I hate almost everything about it, from the auto emoji to the lack of group text, everything is a challenge or not possible, will probably reactivate my Galaxy.
