Hi katrobinson,
I feel your pain; getting unwanted messages is very inconvenient. What number do these messages come from? Have you replied STOP to any of those messages? Do these messages come from a particular service? Please provide more info and we'll post options to resolve.

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

My phone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says it sends, but nothing arrives. Any tips?

My 3G iPhone has stopped sending text messages to one specific number. It says its sent but it does not arrive. Any ideas?

Are you seeing this problem when sending a SMS, MMS or iMessage? Does it go away if you disable MMS or iMessage in Settings > Messages?
Make sure the phone number that you aren't able to send texts to has an area code.
If that doesn't help, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2, we share one Apple ID, is there anyway to stop her text messages from appearing on my iPhone and vice versa?

I have the iPhone 4S and my daughter has the iPad 2. We share my Apple ID. Is there any way to stop her text messages from appearing on my phone, and vice versa? She doesn't need to be reading my texts!

no, there currently is no way of doing this. You can only create a second Apple ID.

How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

Hi,
The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
Select the iMessages account if it is not selected.
Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line" select this.
This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

IPhone 3G stops receiving text messages in the middle of a conversation

My iPhone 3G 3.1.2 frequently stops receiving text messages in the middle of a back-and-forth texting conversation. No other function on the phone seems to be interrupted, because I usually just continue using other apps before I realize it's been 10 minutes since the other person last replied.
I can receive the messages by turning the phone off and on (once I realize what's going on), but this is such a hassle, especially because I can waste 15 minutes of another person's time in the process. Interestingly, once I turn the phone back on, I receive the messages and they tell me they were received at the earlier time (ie., if I was previously texting at 1:53, it might say 1:55, even though nothing showed up AT 1:55). So it seems like the phone receives the text and knows that it did, but for some reason doesn't display it or notify me at the time.
I've seen similar threads in this forum to this problem, but they all seem to be accompanied by other malfunctions, which this is not.
I'm on Telus in Canada.

How do I stop my text messages giving me a preview on the iPhone 4S?

On my old iPhone 3GS, I was able to stop the text messages from showing what was in them on the lock screen. It would come up with the person's name, and underneath just say "Text Message". However, on my new 4S, I have no idea how to do it. I can't find the option anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Preview > Off

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.

Hi, HPYUNBDAY! Are you only getting this behavior with the text messages? Have you tried checking the messaging settings of the phone specifically the incoming notifications?
I'm not sure if it's actually possible to disable the notification for text messages. It's possible with the mail messages though. You can go to E-mail > Settings > Incoming Notifications.
We'll wait for your response.

Block Call Fails to stop picture text messages

I have been getting picture messages with long rambling text with it which are inappropriate from someone whose number I do not recognize. I have blocked the number on the myverizon website, but I am still getting them. I don't know how to stop this jerk from sending them when the blocking doesn't seem to work. Is there something else I can do or did I do something wrong? I tried looking the number up, but all the places on the net want my money to tell me who owns the number. One said it was a land line in Cheyenne, WY and another said it was a mobile in the Lander, Wyoming area. So even if I paid I'm not confident that the correct party would be identified. Help please.

The call message block feature prevents calls and normal texts but when it comes to picture/video messages, the subject line still gets through(no message or picture though). If you're still getting the message, try calling cs and having them remove then readd the block(the feature not just the number) then add the number again. Also you could try updating your phone if you haven't with *228, option 1. Hope this helps ^.^

How do I stop my text messages from appearing on my sons iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4 and my so has an iPhone 5. My other son has an iPod touch. Text messages are showing up on our devices when we weren't texting each other. I don't want to see my sons messages and vice versa. I turned off the cloud and it doesn't help.

I would guess you are probably sharing an apple ID account with your sons and it is using the imessage feature to send to all devices using that account. This article explains it, but you can shut it off from settings > messages.

How do I stop my text messages/iMessages from being sent to other devices on my account?

Ok. Ive just about had it with my parents/siblings being able to read every single text message I send/receive from their ipad or iphone. Is there anyway to disable this without having to lose all my music, apps, etc. by getting a new account? I understand the "grown up" thing to do would be to set up a new account, and just get off their freakin account, but it would just really suck to have to start all over. Ive never had this problem before until I got the new update. Help?

iMessages, not text messages as in SMS/MMS.
Have the other iPhones with iMessage registered with your shared Apple ID register iMessage on their iPhone with their own Apple ID.

How do I stop my text messages from my iPhone from going to my iPad. I am being charged twice from my phone company?

My iPhone receives text messages and they go to my iPad and since I pay for each text message. I want to be able to stop this from happening, how do I do this?????

If you are sending iMessages (blue bubbles in the Messages App), and use the same Apple ID on both the iPhone and the iPad messages will get sent to both devices. Its an iMessage feature to sync messages across devices.
iMessages are not SMS, and as such do not use your text messaging allowance.
https://www.apple.com/ios/messages/
Whether you use a phone number or an email if you are registered with iMessage and the person you are messaging is also, your messages will get sent through iMessage rather than SMS. Your iPad is able to receive iMessages, and you'll have the conversation on both devices. This is a good feature to have if you start the conversation on your Phone but later decide its easier to do it on your iPad or Mac.
iMessages only work between Apple devices.
