If it's not in the manual then I suspect it does not support it, Have you done a basic Google search?

yep. spent a bit of time on it but im guessing if you cannot find a good answer pretty quick then it looks doubtful. kind of hoping someone would prove me wrong though

thanks for the quick reply

If the default sms app doesnt support it there are plenty that do. I use Yaata myself. Not sure if it'll treat group txts as sms or mms though - never tried it.

I've got the model down from you, the Smart Prime 6.
My work around was, for each contact I wanted in my group I added the same organisation to their contact details. e.g. surfing friends

Once that was all done, then in the messaging app I would open a new message and press the add contact icon, from there I would type in the name of the organisation (e.g. surfing friends), which then bring up the list of the corresponding contacts. Then I selected those I wanted included in the text and carried on from that point per a regular text.
