I'm thinking of ditching my iphone for the S5 when it comes out next month.

My iphone5 has been pretty disappointing

What?

I have an S3 and it does group texts. Just need to have the right setting on.
Unless you are talking about something different.

I didn't think they could group text for whatever reason. So easy transition from all my current ones?

You will have to tweak some settings depending on what texting app you use, but yes, it works fine.

My S3 running 4.3 does group text now. Before It would not reply to the group, only the person that sent a message.

I have the S4 and I love it. When I had iPhone, that thing was shitty. Of course it was when the 4 just dropped though. Sure they changed a few things

Not only that but I can plug it into my computer and use it like a portable hard drive.

You might have some issues if you don't turn off iMessage on your iPhone first or some shite like that.

yep, been able to for a while now.

before 4.2.2 (i believe) you had to download GoSMS or Textra or a similar app to be able to.

now you can group text right out of the box.
