Whichever. The last interaction I had with AT&T wasn't wholly pleasant, but I think I could deal.

I've been on AT&T for almost 10 years with only minor annoyances. Mike has had a similar experience.
FWIW, it's the carrier that releases Android updates and not Googs.

What is it about android that their phones cannot participate in a group text, i.e. their phone doesnt recognize that its a group and just sorts the messages like they're from each person?
"every 10 min we had like 50 new messages, but they were 5-15 from each of you with no way to respond" followed up with - "honestly, I think apple is pretty lame, they've come out with the same phone 5 times with minor upgrades" I lol'd. I guess neckbeards never had the thought that they would want to communicate with more than one person at a time.
09-25-2012, 11:58 AM
lol...group texts?
maybe android was just designed for adults?

I get a message failed notice if it doesnt go through. Does android not do that?
09-25-2012, 12:07 PM
I didn't even realize people group texted, other than sending a blast text to multiple people. I can't imagine a chat room via SMS. Sounds horrible.
I used the wife's SGIII in an LTE market for the first time this last weekend. HOLY SHIT. :thumbup:

There is no failure message if it doesn't get from your carrier to the other carrier and then to the carrier's phone. My sister sent me a text at 4:30p from a Verizon iPhone. I didn't get it until 8:30p on an AT&T SGII. She had no idea I didn't get it.

I have no problem with that. If it was critical, I wouldnt use a text message.
I dont use the group texts often, but its nice to have the option - spent the weekend in NC for a wedding and the group text made coordinating between 12 people on things pretty painless. I had no idea that android couldnt process this until at some point saturday someone with a Mohammed phone bitched about it.
09-25-2012, 12:52 PM
Coordinating for groups should be done via email, not text... but that's just me.

I use group text to communicate with several referees at once for emergency filling, we use it for coordinating volunteers at events, communicating with more than one kid at a time... Granted the BB I was coming from was a complete POS, but the ease of doing this on the iPhone is nice.
