Go SMS.
Go to menu -> settings -> advanced tab -> send settings. Check 'MMS group chat'.

No.
Any of the 3rd party SMS apps will do this. Simply search "SMS" in Play Store and it will give you hits.
Specific apps that i've used are: GOSMS, Handcent and ChompSMS

I've been looking for a solution for this too so decided to check out Chomp on your suggestion. I can't find an option to enable group sms like there is in GoSMS. Am I missing something?

Try Handcent, it definitely supports group SMS.

Try GroupMe, I use it to talk to friends on iPhones and it works great :good:
Why don't you try something like GroupMe or Beluga. I used GroupMe and it worked phenomenally.

All of my friends have iPhones (Im such a rebel)...
Often someone will initiate a text message to a group of us. On their phones, they all see the group, and the responses, as they come in, come in as part of a group dialogue of texts.
But on mine, they come in singly from the different contacts - so I cant tell whats a reply to the group, which texts came in which order or even who is in the group. And I dont think I can reply to the group either (or for that matter, not sure I can even initiate a group text).
I am using GoSMS. Does anyone know whether this client, or any of the android clients, would let me participate more in this kind of group text?

Thanks everyone for the feedback and sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
Regarding the suggestion above - I see under "Send Settings" in the Advanced Tab something called "MMS Group Chat"...is that what you mean should be checked?
There is also a setting called "Send as split conversations"...do I want this to be Unchecked?
Thank you.
Another good app is GroupMe. It allow texts to go through the app or to your sms.

Ive done this and been able to initiate group chats with iPhone users so thanks for the advice.
Will this work just the same when I am invited into a group chat by an iPhone user, or does it only work when I initiate? I noticed this was under Send Options, so its unclear...

Just to confirm, I tried initiating a group chat using an iphone and yes it works just like I initiated the group messaging using gosms.

awesome thanks everyone. this should be a major improvement in my texting experience.
and it helps me stay on GoSms. I tried switching to Handcent as I saw that they had a solution to this and didnt like it as much...
Hey Guys,
Does anyone know of an app in the android app world that will combine multiple messaging platforms into main?
Mainly I'm looking to combine whatsapp and sms messaging.
Thanks.

Disa is a messaging app that does just this.
It's in Beta, so you won't be able to find it just in the PlayStore.
Go to Google+ and search for Disa. Join their beta test and you should be good to go.
Disa was pretty nice, but I couldn't handle the way the group messaging with MMS was setup.
They may have fixed that by now. I couldn't tell you, but the app was really neat and combined SMS and Whatsapp.

Yeah I had the same issue with using Disa a week ago, whatsapp never got verified.
Will try again today.
Btw, the new CYANOGEN MOD 11 is out for M8!! Anyone tried that yet? Wondering if they have the ZOEY feature?
If you are not a fan of Verizon's SMS app-
Play Store Free App - Search "8SMS"
Stock KitKat SMS/MMS Messaging App
It has many settings including dark theme, sms pop up, run stand alone, etc etc.
Enjoy!
Looks like a nice app! Wish I would have found this before SimplyText.
Stupid question, but do either of these handle iPhone group MMS? I've been using Go SMS Pro for a while now just for that reason, but otherwise can't stand it.

Yes 8sms does group messaging. It has an option to convert group to MMS or not.

I think Textra handles them well too. There is a app setting regarding iPhone group messaging in it, but never had to mess with it since it worked right out of the box...
Gonna give 8sms a try now.

I just tried it and I'll be keeping it. I have Hangouts as my default sms app on my phone using google voice and this sent my message via gv on hangouts. I've been looking for such a thing. Thanks for bringing my attention to it.

What app does it support. I dont have credits on my card right now so i cant buy it. Write some review for us if you have time. Thanks. Maybe some pic
I'm assuming it uses whatever you have set as your default on your phone.
