Why is my maximum group text limit only 10 recipients?
When is AT&T going to fix the problem of having a limit of only being able to send a group text to 10 recipients? No other carrier has a limit on the amount of recipients that can be sent a group text except AT&T. When are they going to fix this huge problem that they constantly seem to ignore and not give a real answer too?
I have been with AT&T for over 22 years and their cell service is great, but their customer service is the worst, and their in store service is just as bad. The question I asked above has been a constant problem that people have complained about for a while now and they never do anything about it. Just watch how they answer the question above, if they even respond to it at all. I guarantee you they will dance around it or use some lame excuse like it's an Iphone problem. Well I don't have an Iphone, I have a new Samsung S6 Impact and I know other people who have the same phone as me but with Verizon and they have no problem sending group text messages with no limit on the amount of recipients they choose to send them too.
Why is there a limit of only 10 recipients when sending a group text?

textra is a nice SMS app, but it does not support group messaging beyond carrier limits. It’s really not more than a skin.
Seriously, ATT has bigger problems that can’t be solved with a free app.

We are in Ojai, CA and have been desperately trying tp put together a list of our neighbors to keep up to date of the fire situation and evacuations and who has lost homes and what roads are open and protecting our neighborhood from looters. We are in the midst of the largest fire.. Thomas Fire and guess what ATT? We do not have time to research alternate APS or download them or test them or run several group txtx msgs while packing and running from fires! Please help us! If not. We will find another carrier!

You dont have to research. Download and use GroupMe. It works. And it will do the job now without any carrier changes or extra charges.
All carriers have limits. Verizon allows 20. If your group exceeds 20, you have no options but to use a group message 3rd party app.
In the middle of an inferno, everyone is going to change to another carrier with a limit, rather than take a suggestion that works excellently for others. How does it make sense?
It works on any device. You can notify the group to use the app, without them having the app.
despite my annoyance at the avoidance of an obvious solution, I am very much praying for those in danger. Horrible.

I didn’t want to talk to him any more and I wanted my issue escalated to a supervisor.

Two way texting using group me will only work if all recipients are using the app. If one person in the group replies without the app, they will only reply up to the limit set by AT&T. In that case, the conversation gets cut apart and a user could be missing a critical text.
