Had a Republic Wireless question that I think I found the answer for through some searching around on the internet, but wasn't sure if Ihad the correct understanding of what I found.
Essentially, I am looking to make sure that if I go with the Republic Wireless 3G plan (
https://republicwireless.com/plans/), I will be able to participate in group texts with family members who use AT&T and Verizon smart phones (probably 2/3 iPhones, 1/3 other smart phones).
Looking at this section of the Republic Wireless community (see Unsupported MMS Providers:
https://community.republicwireless.com/docs/DOC-1928#jive_content_id_Unsupported_MMS_Providers), my interpretation of this is that I shouldn't have a problem with group texts so long as I am not receiving group texts from any of the providers they specifically called out (US Cellular, Ting, Straight Talk, Cricket (AIO), TracFone, Net10, SafeLink, MetroPCS and Simple Mobile).
I guess it boils down to 2 questions:
1) Did I correctly infer above that I should be able to participate in Verizon/AT&T group messaging due to the information given at the link above?
2) Is there anyone on the forum who uses the 3G (or 4G) plan and can testify from personal experience that group messages from Verizon and AT&T users come through just fine? Meaning not only can you read the group texts, but if someone else starts one, you can see who they included in the group text?
Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to respond!
