Group text messages sent are received as slideshow

I have an Iphone 3gs and when I send a text to multiple people, they report receiving it as a slideshow.  Their carrier is US cellular (don't know if that matters).  When I send the same message individually, it's received just fine.  Any ideas why?  Thanks!

Dear Friends,
E-mail messages sent, are received not in the paragraph-form as sent, but are broken-up into small segments, one line finely printed, the next line may appear with two or three words printed on it, then the next line will show a few words at the end of it, while the next line appears as the start of another paragraph, and so on and on and on. So that the original message, although sent in the one paragraph-form, winds up being received as several paragraphs, each broken up into several segments. My contacting Apple has produced no solution thus far. I am new at this computer
business and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on this score. Thanking you in advance for your interest and kind help.
Yours Truly,
Broduff.

  • Why are my group text messages sent as mms?

    Please can someone help, I am on a plan with orange unlimited text. This is ideal for me when using my iphone as in often have to send a group message to 40+ people due to nature of my volunteer work. I am receiving larger bills from orange detail g charges under 'other ' when I called orange they responded by saying that on an iphone if I wish to send a group message the iphone can only send the message as a picture message as its to a group of people. Surely Apple have the technology to send a group text message! That's why I have an unlimited plan?? Please help as my volunteer work is costing me a small fortune!!! 

    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?

  • Group text messages

    Is there a way to still receive group texts messages without everyone receiving the text seeing my phone number and without receiving everyone's replies to the texts?

    My problem is not with me replying to the sender. My problem is when someone includes me in a group text message along with several others (some of whom I don't even know), and then me receiving a text message everytime someone replies to the group text.
    I would prefer not to see everyone else's reply to a group text that was sent to me.
    I am also concerned that those people that I don't know can see my cell number in the group text details.

  • 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?

  • My family of four (2 iPhones, 2 iPods) all share the same iTunes account.  Many text messages sent to or from mine or my husband's phones are also received on my daughter's iPod, and vice versa. How do I fix this?

    How can I keep text messages sent from my or husband's phone from being received on daughter's iPod, and vice versa? We have five devices on one iTunes account - 2 iPhones, 2 iPods and an iPad.

    Hello Hrd1977,
    This is typically caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.  I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your daughter's device.  Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Then sign in with the desired Apple ID.

  • HT5538 All text messages sent to my wife are also coming to my phone. How can we stop this?

    My wife's iPhone 4 and my iPhone 4S are both using iOS 6. We also sync to an iMac and a Macbook Pro.  My wife updated her phone last night.  Then today I received a message on the iMac to provide my e-mail password for iMessage and FaceTime. Since then, any text messages sent to my wife are automatically sent to my iPhone. Even messages I send to her are sent back to me as if I had written them to myself.  Messages she gets from other people are sent to me as well. How do we fix this so that messages sent to her go only to her?  Also we use a single Apple ID for all our devices--iPhones and Macs, but we have done that for a couple of years, and this problem has not arisen before.

    I can confirm it is using the single ID that is causing this issue.
    You will need to use multiple ID's however, these can share the same payment ID.
    Hope this helps!

    Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages????  YES.
    If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
    Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS.  MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network.  It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance.  But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

  • I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

    I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS.  The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

        Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

  • Send and receive mms and group text messages on Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

    I moved from a basic phone to a smartphone.  I used to be able to receive group text messages and MMS messages without having to use data or be connected via wifi.  Why is it I have to use data or be connected to a wifi sourceto receive those messages now?

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.

    Can any one tell me how my husband and I can stop receiving text messages sent to him on my phone? His text messages to me are showing up under my number, like he is me?

    Go to settings, messages, send and recieve, scroll to where it says start new conversation from, and make sure you each have a different email address checked instead of the same email address.

    After downloading ios7 on iPhone 5 why am I no longer receiving group text messages?

    Hi, TereseS. 
    I had the same issue after the update.  Most likely this feature just needs to be enabled.  Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.
