How to receive group texts without data?
I just got an iphone 4s and am still using my at&t GoPhone monthly plan that doesn't have data. I understand that data is required to send and receive group texts or MMS. But on my old android phone(also no data) I was still able to receive group texts, only I would receive them like a mass text. I would receive each text as its own individual SMS. Is there a way to set my iphone so that I still receive group texts as an SMS like I did before?
If you are on Wi-Fi it will not use data sending and receiving group messages. So if you are on Wi-Fi as much as you can… You will not use as much data. I believe you can also turn cellular data off for texing in the IPhone settings!
Completely not true. I can't receive group messages on mt iphone with data off and Wi-Fi connected. Sure wish I could!
- Why is my iphone responding to group texts with my email address? I just updated my phone and it's started doing this. I also can no longer receive pic messages even though my cellular data is turned on.
- Why does my iPhone receive messages late when I'm in a group text? I have the iPhone 4s with 16g (I have less than a gig left of space) and am on T-Mobile. Every single time I'm added to a new group text, my phone delays all messages sent to me. Regardless of whether it's another iPhone or if they're on the same carrier as me, none of my messages get to me until an hour or so later. Is it because I'm low on space? Or is it T-Mobile (probably the worst carrier I've ever had by the way)? Or is it the iPhone software?
- Why does my iphone not receive group messages unless 4g is on? When I'm at home and I'm using Wi-Fi I always turn off cellular data because I don't want to accidentally be using up my data, but whenever it is off I never receive group messages until I turn it back on? Why does it so this and can I make it so I can still receive group messages when only using Wi-Fi?
- Why am I receiving group texts so late? I have an iPhone 4s and for the past two or three days I've been getting group chat texts hours late and they all come In at once. I use AT&T and all but it's weird cause I receive texts from people texting individualy but group texts just don't work. I've already checked my setting and stuff so I just need help trying to fix it
