I don't think you are getting your question answered. What you are seeing is that Verizon had two ways of creating a 'group' chat. MMS group chat, which is what we normally see and Group Chat which allows you to have additional features BUT the messages appear to be from an unknown number and all responds are sent back and forth from that number.
In my opinion if everyone in your group isn't on Verizon Messages it looks pretty unusual to those not using Messages. I'm going to be sticking with MMS Groups for now since several of my friends are on iPhones and don't/won't use messages+.
