We (my friends and I) use group messaging heavily and none of us use WhatsApp. MMS supports group messaging just fine and lots of my friends have iPhones so iMessage works just fine there. We do pay more than $1 per year for unlimited text messages but I don't know anyone that doesn't get unlimited text messaging these days.
