Not receiving group texts with Android users

Very strangely I do not get group messages when even one android member is added to the group.

i have tried making big groups of all iOS users and it works fine. The moment we add an android user to the message group, I dont get these messages.

You may not have an SMS plan enabled by your Carrier. Contact you carruer and get an SMS/MMS plan enabled for the SIM that you use.

Types of group messages

The three types of group messages that you might see are: group iMessage, group MMS, and group SMS. The Messages app automatically chooses the type of group message to send based on you and your recipients' settings, network connection, and carrier plan. For example:

If you and your recipients are using Apple devices and iMessage is turned on, then the group message is sent as an iMessage.
If you send a group message to people who aren't using iMessage, then the message is sent as an MMS or SMS message.
