I'm getting duplicate text on my iphone 4s

There are step-by-step instructions here. Specifically, look at the section on using one Apple ID for iCloud and another for store purchases.

Two iPhones, 1 iTunes account, 2 iCloud accounts - still getting duplicate texts

Hi everyone,
I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4, my husband has an iPhone 3 and has finally updated his software to iOS 6.1.4 as well (he hadn't updated it since he bought it years ago). We have the problem of duplicate text messages - my phone now thinks its his phone (ie I've lost my contacts, but have all of his) and when I send him a text, he gets it but so do I. It also comes up on our iPad. I thought it was perhaps an iCloud account issue so made a second iCloud account and logged into that on my phone but it hasn't helped.
The duplicate messages are driving me crazy - how do I stop them?
Thanks,
Sarah.

I have the same question. My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate? I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options. How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account? Please help

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.

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

Sending duplicate text messages

My phone is sending duplicate text messages whenever I send to my contacts. How do I stop this?
I've noticed this on my RAZR Maxx and now my HTC One M8.

Mclindy,
Lets stop the maddness so your friends only get signal messages when you send them. I know you moved from the Maxx to the M8. Did this start right away with the M8 or did it take a little bit of time? Do you use the native Messaging app that came with the phone or one that was downloaded from the Play Store?

Duplicate Text Messages - Pantech Crux

Hello, I began receiving duplicate text messages once I upgraded to a Pantech Crux. The duplicates are not labeled *duplicate message* like others, rather they are just received about 30 seconds after the original.
This happens regardless of sender but does not always happen. It will also happen regardless of whether or not I read the first message before the duplicate arrives.
Is there any solution to this? Will I be charged for all the duplicates?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

Are you still receiving duplicate txt msgs? I've been having the same issue since May and I keep getting the run around. My husband and I have the same phones and first they told me they had to do a "network" update that was supposed to take place on June 27. I've still been receiving them. I called again last friday and the gentleman from tech support told me to do a device software update on my phone. I did that and I'm still getting double txts! Very frustrating!!! I've called around 7-8 times! Not getting anywhere with my problem! During the month of July I had gone over my txt limit and the lady I talked to gave me a higher text package and wasn't going to charge me the difference. But when she did that she canceled my text messaging package and I got billed $180 for text messaging! Not very happy with Verizon right now! We are debating if we should cancel our service thru them and go to another company!
jmm823,
I definitely understand your frustrations and would like to assist with correcting this for you! Our Product Development Team is aware of the issue and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix. In the meantime, I would be happy to review your account and correct the text package and billing for you. We definitely do not want you to have to consider leaving Verizon Wireless! I will send you a message, and you can reply with the requested information.
Thank you again for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

Duplicate text messages Handcent msgs

I downloaded the handcent application and it sends out duplicate text messages. People have gotten the same message from me anywheres from 2-5 times. Not everytime, but still annoying is there a way to fix this problem. It has gotten worse just recently

When you download a new messaging application on the phone you would want to make sure that the old messaging application is closed. The default messaging application is probably running in the back ground causing duplicate messages.
Lets try 3 things to correct this issue:
First you would want to disable the default messaging application.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Running services.
Touch a service (select the default messaging application).
Choose the default messaging application.Touch Stop.
Second could I get you to do a soft reset on the device.
Soft Reset
Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.
Third:
Could I get you to dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Running services.
Then re-check your applications, making sure the default messaging application is not running.

Toggle iMessage Off then On
Turning iMessage off then on again worked for my particular issue. You can do this by following these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“
Slide “iMessages” to off for about 3 minutes, then turn it back on.
Your iPhone will be re-registered and may clear up the duplicate text message notification problem.
Repeat Alerts Setting
There is a setting that repeats notifications which could cause this issue. Check it with these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Notification Center“.
Choose “Messages“.
Ensure that the “Repeat Alerts” setting is set to “Once“.
Send & Receive Setting
Another setting that involves sending notifications to multiple numbers could be the issue as well. Check the following:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“.
Choose “Send & Receive“.
Ensure that only your phone number is listed in the “You can be reached by iMessage at” area. If you have an email address or anything else listed, it could cause duplicate text messages.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini. I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers. It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro. When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device. I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer. Any ideas?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Both my husband and I have both downloaded the new IOS 8.2 and now he is getting my text messages that are only addressed to me He is a 5 and I have a 6. How can I fix that?

My husband and I have both downloaded the new IOS 8.2 and now he is getting my text messages that are only addressed to me. He has a 5 and I have a 6. It is like we are synced together. How can I fix that?

Is he getting your SMS messages (green) or your iMessages (blue). If SMS message, go to Settings>Messages and turn off Text Forwarding. If blue, are you sharing an Apple ID? You should each have your own.

I have the iPhone 4. and when I updated the software to iOS6 My notifications don't make a sound anymore, the only sound that I get are text messages, or Email. I checked to see if the other apps were muted and they weren't. How do I fix this??

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)
