Does group messaging use up mobile data?

My family and I were group messaging earlier and I noticed that just before I got a message my LTE transfer lights would flicker. I know thathat group messaging uses MMS instead of SMS but was not sure if it counted. I am on android but everyone else has an iPhone using iMessage. I don't want to gorder using up my data but we like to group chat. Any info would be appreciated

Thanks,

Cam

So it does not matter how much group texting any of us do? It will only count for our SMS limit?

That is correct. Keep in mind if you do not have unlimited texting, you may want to monitor your usage.

When group texting, you get charged for 1 text for each of the recipients of a group text. You send a group text to 10 people, you will be charged for 10 texts.
