Yes, sending message to more then 1 person will have it automatically converted into a MMS if you are on firmware 3.0 and have MMS mesaging turn ON. The only way to ensure that it doesn't send as a MMS is to go to Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging – turn it off.

This is not true, even you send a group message to 50 people it only charge you for 50 text. So if you have unlimited text message it will be free. You are only charge as MMS when you send a picture messaging that set.

And it's important to note that 5 messages charged at 15c = $0.75 compared to the $0.50 you'd pay if it's charged as an MMS. For anyone on a non-unlimited texting plan, this could be a good thing.
