Member limit on group MMS?

Switched to Shaw a few months ago and I am having issues with one particular group MMS.

I have kept my same number and I had no issues when it was on Public mobile.

Using Samsung Galaxy S8 with google messages app.

There are 18 total members in this group text with a mix of iphones and android.

I have followed all the shaw trouble shooting with reapplying SIM, APN, and network settings to no avail. 

I have tried with RCS enabled and disabled; no difference

I have had the group recreated brand new.

I receive messages sent to the group, but if I try to send a message to the group, it will not go through.

I receive an error: "Message not sent. service not activated on network"

Other group MMS with less members seems fine. I have been able to send and receive on groups with as many as 6 members for sure.

Does anyone know if there is a limit and how many that might be?

Why not just answer the question?

Yes, Shaw has a limit of 10 people in a group chat.  It seems like you can receive messages if you are part of a larger group, but you can't reply.  If you try to reply you get the error "Message not sent: service not activated on network", although you can still send MMS messages to groups of 10 or less. (or maybe less than 10, not sure on the exact limit - would be nice if someone from Shaw could confirm).
