Hi,
I own a LG Power CDMA-V phone (lollipop 5.0). The stock messaging app on this phone does not have a group messaging option (i.e. group texting contained in a single thread). In order to remedy this, I've tried downloading a number of third-party messaging apps (i.e. group sms pro, textra, chomp sms, handcent sms, google messenger, etc.) The problem is that although these apps provide group messaging capability they are incapable of sending and receiving MMS messages. Straight Talk has informed me that the APN settings for this phone are preconfigured and cannot provide me with my APN settings for these third party apps. I found a link online for ST tracfone APN settings but was still unable to remedy the problem. At this point it seems I have to choose between the stock app with no group messaging or a third-party app that can't send or receive MMS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
