  • Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

    My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change? 

    HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
    If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
    If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

  • Text messages being sent in MIME format?

    i currently receive work pages as text messages on my iphone 3gs. our system generates these pages as emails to [phone number]@mms.att.net. the person supporting this system reports that when i accept ownership for a given page (this is an on-call rotation) the message format is MIME...it needs to be plain text. these issues began after my upgrade to the latest iOS - 4.2.1.
    any ideas?

  • Why are my text messages being sent from my e-mail?

    Just recently  I reset the password to my apple ID and ever since it has been sending text messages through my e-mail. I will open my text messaging app but my friends are still telling my i am texting them through my email. I tried lookinng under my measaging settings and for my icloud it had my email selected and it would  not let me select my phone number.

    Hey Bgrossman,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID (email address) in your iMessage settings:

    To sign out of your Apple ID
    1. Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Thanks,

  • Text messages being sent as iMessages

    Hi folks, My wife and I have a strange problem with our iPhone 5's where our SMS messages occasionally get sent as iMessages and as a result we never get them on our phones.
    Background - We both have iPhone 5's, I have an iPad 3, she has an iPad 4. All software is the latest updates available. We live in a rural area so wifi is only really available at home and the occasional McDonald's, so the only time iMessage is of any real use is when we are at home and want to iMessage friends. This results in both the iPhone and the iPad informing us that we have an iMessage and quickly becomes annoying during an extended conversation so we have turned off iMessage on our phones and use it exclusively on our iPads.
    The problem- on a few occasions in the last 2 weeks we have replied to a SMS message sent by one of us and the SMS reply has been sent as an iMessage. As a result it was not received until we return home and view the iPad. Now I understand that iMessages are supposed to be sent as SMS if the recipient is not able to receive an iMessage but NOT the other way around. It makes even less sense when you consider we both have iMessage turned off on our phones.
    Once it occurs it can be ages before the system restores itself to work correctly as well. A few days ago I had returned home to discover the message my wife had sent and was puzzled as to how it happened. I turned off the iPads and checked that iMessage was still off on both our phones (it was). Yet all efforts to send me an SMS from her phone to my phone resulted in an iMessage, not an SMS, the SMS option was not available as it continually defaulted to iMessage. How is this possible?

    iMessage does not require WiFi. It requires a data connection. Between iOS devices, if you have iMessage turned on, iMessage is the default. Do you, perchance, have cellular data turned off on your phones? That's the only reason I can think of that you wouldn't get iMessages on your phone outside of a WiFi connection. And yes, both devices will notify you of messages if you have notifications turned on on both. And yes, if your contact is messaging you from an iOS device and your iPad is on at home and your cellular data is turned off on your phone, the iPad would get the message.

  • My imessage is frozen from too many text messages being sent all at one like a spam?

    How do i get it to unfreeze?

    Do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Duplicate Text Messages

    Hello,
    I currently a droid x running android 2.3.3 in the Royersford, PA area.  I updated to Android 2.3.3   2-3 weeks ago.  After this update I started receiving a noticeable amount of duplicate text messages.  The duplicates can number anywhere from 2 to 11 and are received over a ten minute period.  As I am sure you can imagine this is extremely frustrating.  It is also not restricted to one contact.  I have received duplicate texts from 4 different carriers and the majority of types of phones available ranging from iphones to android to non-smartphones.
    In an attempt to resolve the issue I visited my local verizon store and after spending about 20 minutes of being asked over and over if i had tried taking the battery out (which I had) I was finally told to perform a factory reset on my phone.  I did and after 2.5 hours of redownloading all my apps (apparently they haddn't backed up to google's servers yet) I started receiving duplicate messages again (it actually started before I redownloaded all my apps).  I returned to the verizon store in the next few days only to be told that since they could not get the problem to replicate itself in store (this after waiting for 45 minutes for the clerk to go around the store and use every display phone to text my phone) there was nothing they could do to help me, even though I still had duplicate messages in my inbox.  
    After waiting about a week I grew frustrated enough to try again and they agreed to give me a new phone (which I currently have).  I didn't receive a duplicate for about 2 days and then it started again and has gotten progressively worse ever since.  I even tried switching from the stock messaging app to handcent but it did not help (and yes I disabled the default messaging app).
    Is anyone out there capable of fixing this issue?  Is it an android problem, a droid x problem, or a verizon problem?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    A few more bits of information.  My mom also has the droid x running 2.3.3 and has recently started experiencing the same problem but not to the extent that I do.  My brother has a htc incredible running something other than 2.3.3 (I'm not sure what) and experiences the same problem as myself (this leads me to believe it is either an android problem or verizon but since it is on two different versions of android I am leaning towards verizon).
    Thanks for any help anyone can give, and if there is already a topic about this I apologize, I could not find it anywhere on this site.

  • Are my group messages being sent as MMS instead of SMS?

    Hi there! I just have a quick question about text messaging on my iPhone. I read here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760) that "some carries automatically convert group messages into MMS" and that "group messaging is sent either as an SMS or MMS"
    See, I am a new postpaid subscriber. And my plan only includes unlimited text messaging (SMS) and data use. I usually send out group messages to 50+ of my colleagues when I need to remind them about something or ask a question. Are these messages being sent as an MMS, or as regular text messages? I fear I may be getting charged hefty sums for texting.
    Thanks!

    Why don't you check with your carrier. They would be in a position to better answer that question than a group of users from all over the world.

Cache has been cleared without success.   Help please!

    Try the stock app in safe mode. You may need a factory reset

    Ever sice the latest update I've been receiving at least 3 duplicates of every text that gets sent to me. Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas on how to make it stop?
    It's actually been going on since well before the update. I have friends with other phones who have the same thing happen to them. One actually has a 'pre-smartphone' phone and they get multiples all the time. The problem is with some setting within Verizons network, which apparently they don't feel is that big of a deal. Only thing I've heard is to contact Verizon and tell them and they supposedly do someting to correct it for that user, but that's about it

  • Text messages being receive twice by some recipients

    Text messages being receive twice by some recipients:
    I have had a couple of contacts tell me they are receiving text messages I send from the Z10 twice.
    Not everyone thou. I've asked. I'm sending from Rogers to a Rogers user. They both have 9700's.
    Any ideas?

    Anyway, I followed the steps you provided, and changed all of the settings including <-- Settings <-- FaceTime and Settings <-- Messages <-- Use your Apple ID for messages.
    Just to be clear, while you have to use an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime, you should not be using that e-mail address to receive at or send from since you're using your father's ID.  Later in your post it sounds like you de-selected e-mail addresses that were not yours, which is correct, but I wanted to make sure you understand that you should not be using this ID for a contact point since it is not yours.
    If your father is still getting your text messages from your friends, I suspect that either:
    (a) after making these changes you need to turn iMessage and FaceTime off for a brief period, then turn back on, or
    (b) your friends are replying to older messages that you sent from your father's Apple ID, or
    (c) your father's iPhone somehow has your e-mail entered as one of the possible contact points for his iPhone.
    If the cause is (a) turn iMessage and FaceTime back on since you've already turned them off.
    If the cause is (b) see the last paragraph of my 1st post.  Send your friends a new iMessage and tell them to only reply to that conversation and delete prior conversations.
    If the cause is (b) have your father de-select (or remove) your e-mail address from his iMessage and FaceTime settings.

    MetsFanGirl,
    Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7
