Google hangouts group text messages converts to mms - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know whether there is a way to send group texts on the new hangouts as SMS rather than as MMS?
Thanks.

Wish I knew the answer to this.
Just got my first bill on my new contract only to find that the 48 messages I sent to give people my new number were sent as MMS.
Turns out that as soon as you as more than one contact to a text it gets changed to MMS.
Not only did I get charged, I also found out that a lot of people's phone's don't even receive MMS so it was a complete f**k up all round.
Google now owes me £12.

Group messaging on stock messaging app

So I was under the impression that the group messaging feature was somewhat like that of the iphones and I found out that this is not the case. When I tested this feature out by texting my moms iphone and a text free number it came up on my end as a group message and when texted myself back using my moms iphone it came up as an individual message. Im going to go out on a limb and guess that it should not be like this at all. Is this a bug or something? Or does anyone else have this problem?
No one else is getting there group messages pulled into separate threads when getting a text message?
I'm also experiencing this bug

CM10 MMS bug

I keep seeing mentions of MMS bugs in CM10 on the VzW Galaxy S3. I've been running their nightlies for the last week or so and have yet to see any problems, inbound or outbound.
Can someone elaborate on this bug?

I'm currently experiencing two issues with MMS in the 8/23 build. Firstly, I can't send any text that is more than one page long. And I've tried with the stock app, Handcent and Go SMS. And secondly, I would say that roughly one out of every eight texts I send will not actually make its way to the recipient. It will say sent, but it won't actually go anywhere. Not even into some text limbo where it shows up three hours later. Just gone. It's pretty irritating, to say the least.

Oh, also. I can send and receive picture texts just fine. Thought I should mention that.

Are they sending to your Verizon number or a Google Voice number, perhaps? If the latter, you won't get their MMS.

Hangouts SMS sent time?

So I really like the SMS integration with Hangouts but it shows received texts by the time they were received rather than the time they were sent. I don't know why anyone would want there. Is there any way to change the behavior?

Not yet. I hated Hangouts' SMS handling, but to each their own.

What's your carrier? What SMS app are you using?
Mabey try using EvolveSMS?

theres an option in the default messaging apps settings for limiting the number of text messages. i changed my limit from 100 to 10000
I'm curious about this. How is it even possible to send 100 sms messages in an hour? Are you sending out one to many recipients? Or just that many single texts? Maybe I'm just old?

i dont text much, barely any at all, but 100 is easy to reach, especially if youre having a good convo. anyways, it counts all texts, both sent and received messages.
I'm unable to find this on hangouts or textra.
For those asking about the carrier, it's an android 'feature' which is really irritating.
I'm really surprised I cannot find any fixes after googling high and low!

I decided to buy Unlock SMS Limit on the app store and it went absolutely wild. It ended spamming a contact the same message 235 times, completely messed up my mailing list and drained my battery.
Can anybody please help?
