I have talked several times with Verizon Wireless CSR and they know little about Message+. They read from the same information online I have already read. Maybe someone out there understands it.
I manage a particular community group that meets four times a week. There are approximately 60 members. Depending on weather, space availability and other factors we don't always meet at the same place. Sometimes I do not know that there will be a change of venue until 30 minutes prior to the start of the meeting. I need to be able to:
- send out a message to all 60 members telling them the location of the meeting
- prevent replies to the group - no matter what I say someone always responds to all and then someone else replies and then its like a party line text free-for-all (who is this? Mark. Do you drive a camaro? Blah blah) and then people want to be removed from the group text due to the aggravation (hence why broadcast is essential)
- be able to keep the list of participants and their numbers as a group, but a group I can edit quickly removing and adding people on the fly
It seems every time I think I am making progress, I add all the members but it won't let me broadcast or if I broadcast successfully it doesnt save the group members. Maybe what I am trying to do can't be done. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi I have a similar issue. Whenever I try to send a broadcast message to two different people, it sends a group chat instead which is what I don't want.
Stiletosprk, thank you for reaching out about your Message+ options. Has your account been successful with broadcast messaging previously? What steps are you taking ot set this up?
