Sending SMS to multiple recipients

Hi

I have noticed on some smartphones I cam compose an SMS message to multiple recipients at once (group conversation).

Does anyone have more information on how this works across iOS, Android and Blackberry? For example:

1. Are recipients supposed to be able to reply-all to the message?

2. Are these sent as SMS or MMS messages?

1.Recipients can reply all if their provider allows multiple recipients
2.SMS

For android, the user can customise what apps to handle SMS and MMS (for example, Samsung uses Hangout app), but you need to look into the settings of SMS and MMS to avoid being charged for the rather expensive MMS.
For the reply all function in android, it varies from different version of the android OS and apps to handle the SMS. Just press and hold the message to check whether there is a reply all option.
