Yes! For the GSMA network, just make sure your GSMA iPhone is running iOS operating system 13.3 or better. The oldest devices that can accept this iOS update are the iPhone 6s and the iPhone SE. To update your phone's operating system, turn your phone on and then go to Settings. From there, tap on General, then Software Update. Tap Download and Install if you see an available update.

It’s irresponsible and unethical to not include this info in all marketing language when someone learns about and signs up for GSMA. MMS is a core function of smartphones and for it not to be available to over 40% of all smartphone users in the US who want GSM”A”’s network should be disclosed at all phases.
(Btw, it’s unclear how to sign out of this Zendesk thing using a google account. Even going to google.com and signing out has no effect.)
Amen. Now I have a new number that is being propagated around and it's mostly useless because my family sends group texts. At this point I want my money back.
Im sure they dont include it because att would charge them more
Gary Fink MMS works fine with Android on AT&T. The problem is iPhone will not allow changing Access Point Names in settings unless you jailbreak the iphone. Apple is holding this setting hostage.
Yes it absolutely does work on Android on AT&T
The apn on this RED POCKET website works flawlessly

My wife and I both are on Red Pocket. I use an iphone 7 on the AT&T network (which I have to Google and it says that is the GSMA network). Group texring does not work, despite completely wiping my phone and reinstalling the ios as suggested by tech support. My wife uses an iphone 6s on the Verizon network (CDMA). She cannot send picture texts to Android phones. What is wrong with Red Pocket Mobile? Why this crippleware service?
I’m an iPhone user and MMS does not work with my iPhone XR and now iPhone 11. I chose GSMA for AT&T thinking that it would work better than GSMT for T-Mobile. I can send text message to Android users. Even receive a group text MMS from Android users. I just cannot reply to a group text. Any text message with a photo attachment will fail also. And yes. This is just on iPhone. This wasn’t a problem before when I was on Mint with their T-mobile network. I spent hours trying to resolve this issue with Red Pocket support and they made me believe that it’s my phone. It isn’t.
Did you try these settings?
SETTINGS / MESSAGES
iMessage off
MMS Messaging on
Group Messaging on
Yes. I have these settings. I am able to receive group message from iPhone sender to a group of mixed iPhone Android users. I’m able to received MMS message. When I tried to reply to this message. It would not send my message. And I cannot send a new message with a photo to Android user. I can send a message without picture to Android user.
Sorry, I can't help. I have GSMA and iPhone but have not tried group MMS. I know MMS comes out of your "data usage" so you can't use if your plan is out of data.
I switched my Red Pocket plan from GSMT to GSMA yesterday. I am now unable to SEND a group text. I do Receive the group messages in the thread. Group texting was problematic on the GSMT network with Red Pocket's settings, but I was able to find alternative setup information that made it work. The configuration file that RP sent has not corrected the problem. I am using three iPhone SE's (1st gen) for testing. The other two use the CDMA network through another MVNO (Puppy Wireless). Those phones can both send and receive the group text. This is NOT an iPhone issue, unless it is related to compatibility with RP or GSMA specifically. It is 2021 people, this should not be such an ongoing issue. C'mon Red Pocket, pay AT&T or Apple whatever extra money is required. Your service is too good and becoming too popular for you (or us) to accept such a limitation. -Dave
