My friend on Verizon recently purchased a WP8 (HTC 8X) phone and found out that Verizon has blocked the Group Text function on it. Basically he can send a text to multiple people in an MMS but that text comes through to other users as an individual text and not as a group thread. (More info found here: http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows-...ms-option.html)
After reading up on the issue it looks like Verizon is going to be pushing out an app of their own for this that we would have to then pay for monthly (Verizon Messages). This seems like a terrible idea and I just want people to be aware of the issue. Also,if anyone can confirm or deny if the Verizon BB10 phone will handle group messaging. If it does not then I will be jumping ship to a carrier that does.
