My 2 different iphones receiving text from one common contact.

Last night I gave my daughter her iphone 4.  I have an iphone 4S.  Today several people texted me.  One of these people texting me, their texts with me showed up on my daughters phone miles away.  Not everyone's texts, just the one person's text.  How do I resolve this issue?
I did tell my daughter to delete the iCloud account on her phone.  She indicated her phone had my email address as her apple account on her phone.  Has having her delete that profile off of her phone take care of this issue.  The person who was texting me also has an iphone 4, not sure why the other people texting did not come through on her phone, just the one with an iphone of their own.
Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Andrew

Could be that the sender sent to your email address (iMessage) instead of your phone number or vice versa.
Make sure iMessage is set correctly on the iPhone 4 to use your daughters email address and phone number

  • Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

    I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
    It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi!  I'm also having the same problem.  I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider).  We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November.  Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her,  I don't receive any of the texts  that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it.  They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone.  Do I have an incorrect setting?  I'm not sure what could have happened.  PLEASE help! 

  • Problems receiving text from one person

    got my iphone 5 on sept 21st and haven't been able to receive text from one person, he has virgin mobile and i have verizon, i've gotten them from everyone else, i'm able to send texts too
    i recently switched from virgin mobile to verizon
    i've called verizon and they said there isn't a problem
    i've called virgin mobile and they don't have a problem either
    HELP

    Could be something wrong on the other persons end...this one is hard to call if it's only happening with one number. Are the text long (longer than 140 or 160 characters)? Try asking them to sending a short one (just type "testing" and send it)...see if that goes through. I would lean more towards the issue being on their end if you're saying you can send them to him fine...you're just not receiving them.

  • I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

    I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

    amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

  • Cant send or receive texts from one person....​why?

    I have a palm pixi and I cant send or receive texts from one person...why? when I send a message to this person the message just disappears. anything I can do to fix this?
    Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

    This is a common problem.... I was having it too.  The only solution I found is to go into device info, reset options and then choose erase apps and data.  It solved the problem.  All the contact info is backed up so you don't lose your data.

  • Not receiving texts from one number

    As of Saturday, between the time of 4:00pm and 4:30, my phone decided to not receive texts from one number, which is an AT&T number.  It was working before, and ever since then, it hasnt been able to receive texts from said number or send them to the number.  I havent been able to get texts from the number either, and we both dont know why.
    The thing is, I am getting texts perfectly fine from everyone else that I usually text.
    I cant figure out if the number is blocked, because I am not the main owner of the family plan that I am on.

    Hello haruharasanako,
    It's strange that you are having text imessaging issues with one contact. I use text messaging all the time and I am here to help!  Do you have issues sending or receiving text messages to anyone else? Can you send and receive picture messages from this contact? Are you using a 3rd party messaging app? If so, please uninstall and trying using the stock messaging app. Which device are you using? Did you make sure the account owner didn't have this number blocked? Did the contact check with AT&T to see if your number is blocked? Please answer these questions so I can resolve this issue for you.

  • Cannot Receive Text from One Person

    I cannot receive texts from 1 person who is also a Verizon Customer, both of us have iPhone 4S phones.  I receive his messages on my iPad, but not my iPhone.   All other texting seems to be working with other contacts.  I could receive his texts/iMessages 12 hours ago without a problem.  Any suggestions?  I have rebooted my phone.  He can receive my texts.
    Thanks.

    I'm having a similar problem. I can receive texts from this one person but he cannot receive mine. I can also not call him but he can call me. He uses A T&T but does not have this problem when texting other verizon users. I have an Iphone 4S and he has an Iphone 5. This has been happening for 3 days. I have tried resetting the networks, restarting my phone,  and checking blocked contacts. Nothing is helping with the issue.

  • I can receive texts from one contact but when I reply she does not receive the text. It does not say delivered when the text is sent but does not say that it has not been sent.

    One of my long standing contacts cannot receive texts from me. I can see them from her. We both have iPhones . We have been texting for years.
    My outgoing message is sent as iMessage and stays blue. It does not say delivered but it does not say that it has been unable to send.

  • Stratosphere cannot receive texts from one person

    Suddenly this morning, my girlfriend stopped receiving texts from me. It shows sent on my end, but she does not get them. I can receive text from her just fine.
    I have no synced contacts, I have deleted our entire thread and deleted her as a contact. Tried sending to number with and without +1.
    She has an AT&T iPhone 4 if that matters.

        Thanks for posting your inquiry here, redbearder.
    We haven't heard back from you so I wanted to check into the messages.
    Do you know if anyone else is not receiving messages from you?

  • Why doen't iphone receive texts from other iphones.

    I have recently bought iphone 5C for the first time, I have had an ipad for a long time which I use for imessages through wifi.   I thought that when I am out and about away from wifi I would receive sms/text from other iphones like I had with my previous basic mobile, but this doesn't happen, although I can send texts to other iphones.  Also when I return to a wifi area imessage that have been picked up by my ipad then don't appear on my iphone.  When both the iphone and ipad are using wifi when an imesssage is received the message appears on both devices.  Is this usual as I would like to receive texts from other iphones as it could be important. 

    Is iMessage turned on your phone?    It doesn't sound like it.
    I would disable iMessage on BOTH your iPad and iPhone.   Enable it on iPhone first, then iPad 2nd.
    Try again and let us know if it's working properly.

  • Not receiving texts from one number only.

    I have an iPhone 5 through Sprint.  I can receive texts from everyone else except for 1 number on the verizon network.  This number can receive from me and call me but I do not get any texts sent from it.

        We want those important messages to come through KELLYH40! What happens with your received messages from this line you are referring to? Does the sender see an error message? What messaging app are you using on each device? Can you receive calls from this line? Can you send messages to it?

  • My 4s will not notify me of a text from one specific contact?

    All of sudden last night I stopped getting audio notifications of texts from one of my contacts, the most important one!  The alert comes on the screen, but I have a ringtone assigned to this contact that is a song so I know who it is if my phone is not right in my hand.  Worked great until last night.  I have checked all settings, Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb, his contact settings, etc. and I can't seem to figure out what the issue is?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    May be a stupid question - but is the song/tune still available on your phone ?

  • My iphone 4s has stopped received texts from one person

    Hi everyone,
    My iphone 4s has suddenly stopped receiving texts sent from my husband's iphone 4s. I've never had a problem until a few days ago, and now nothing comes through from him.
    He still gets my texts fine, and there's nothing at his end that shows that his aren't getting through to me.
    I'm with Orange and he's with O2.
    Hope you can help me solve this rather annoying mystery. Thanks in advance!
    Best,
    Amanda

    Ready to try an experiment?
    Ok, go to Messages- and swipe to delete the message conversation with your husband.
    Next, go to Contacts. Find his contact card. IF you know his number, tap Edit, then Delete at the bottom. Now on the list of contacts tap the + button and Re-add him back into your contacts.
    Send him a message. It should work.

  • Not receiving texts from one person

    I deleted the contact. My friend did too...she's now receiving my texts, but I'm not receiving hers.

    Did you accidentally add her to your auto-reject list, mute the conversation, block from texting or use something like Mr. Number and block her with that app perhaps?
