I messages being received from a different numner

When i send a message to a friend who has an i phone they receive the message from a different number how can i stop this? as they are replying to this number and i am not receiving their messages.

More than likely someone sent you an iMessage addressed to your Apple ID email address that is also registered with iMessage on your iPhone in addition to your cell phone number. The cell phone number is registered with the Apple ID email address when activating iMessage on an iPhone.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Under You Can Be Reached By iMessage At, deselect your Apple ID email address.
Under Start New Conversations From, make sure your cell phone number is selected.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately.

    Mail suddenly not being received from server. The ISP tells me there's nothing wrong at his end. I can see emails on the server if I look up WebMail; they don't come into Mail. I haven't changed anything lately. The incoming server details haven't changed; the Connection Doctor shows the accounts are connected; I've turned everything off including the modern. Have exhausted my limited knowledge. Anyone with something similar?

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Help! iMessages being received on 2 different iPhones

    Help! Both my iPhone 4 and my husbands iPhone 4 are on the same iTunes account. I just got around to updating his phone to ios6 and now whenever someone sends either of us an iMessage, the other phone receives it as well. How do I fix?? FYI, I have already set him up on a separate iCloud account

    This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  It is not related to iCloud.  To fix this go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on both phones and do one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your phones, on the other one tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage).  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.

  • Why are text messages being received as gmail addresses?

    In the last week, I began receiving text messages from my friends that are being sent from their "gmail" address.  Therefore, it seems to replace the other contact that I had in the phone.  Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you

    This has worked for many to solve this problem:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Open the Message App to see if they're fixed.

    Hi,

  • Can we send a message to Websphere from two different schema?

    Hi,
    I have two schema in my test environment and i send a AQ message to WebSphere from one of them.
    Now i'm going to apply all the changes from this schema to the other one and then two messages will go to the same destination in IBM WebSphere!
    Do you think i might face a problem in this way or i should disable the previous one?
    Regards
    /Hesi

    Hello,
    it surely depends on your setup logic for the content of your target MQ messages. From the point of AQ there is no problem.
    Your two AQ queues don't know anything from each other. You have to check if the messages can be arrive twice at
    your destination MQ queue.
    Kind regards,

  • 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:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    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,

  • No caller ID being received from SPA8000 to ESI PBX system

    I am working with an SPA8000 that is supplying dialtone to ESTech systems/ESI/IVX pbx phone systems. I have discovered that caller ID information is not being received by what they call their "legacy" or older model pbx's. I have confirmed that caller ID is in fact coming through to my analog test set and also sends the caller ID to an run of the mill caller ID box. I have also verified that the caller ID works properly through the ESI systems on normal AT&T analog lines. The strange thing is that caller ID works on ESI's newer "communication servers". I have spoken with ESI's tech support and have been told that no changes for those parameters have been changed. I also have the latest possible versions of software running on all of the older systems. If anyone on the forums have any suggestions or input on this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    Refer to the Caller ID and ANI support

  • Sent messages not being received from my iPhone

    Starting about three weeks ago, I began having sporadic issues with text messages (SMS) and iMessages not going through.  I don't appear to have a problem RECEIVING messages, other than they sometimes are delayed by as much as 20 minutes.
    I have been on the phone with AT&T support - they point their fingers directly at Apple.  I have found no help from Apple on the issue (more finger-pointing).
    Texts (SMS) to non-iPhone users are 99% working
    Texts/Messages to iPhone users who have Messages set up - I can be having a "conversation" with them and the text bubble will change from blue to green... back to blue, back to green from message-to-message.  And about 50% of messages sent via "iMessage" are not going through.
    Of interest - it appears that Messages sent via my MacBook Pro are not having the same issue.
    One item of possible importance - I had to change my iTunes password right before this problem began (I had posted about an unauthorized movie purchase - which Apple took care of, but forced me to change both my password and to use a different funding source).
    It was about that time that messages began to act odd.
    I have tried all the settings in the "Messages" settings on my iPhone... turning iMessage off - still some SMS messages don't go through.  I read somewhere to turn off "Send as SMS" and that forces the issue... that imroved the successful sends somewhat.
    I tried removing email addresses from the "Send & Receive" address list... no change.  I then added them back... no change.
    It all also appears to be totally random. Sometimes all messages go through without a problem... at other times - the problem gets to the point I'm ready to throw my iPhone in the trash.
    But all of this still doesn't clearly put the blame on either party...  Is Apple's software tring to swap to SMS for no reason, then not actually sending the message at all?  Or is the iPhone sending the message - but AT&T isn't handling them?  Neither party wants to admit an issue.

    Yes - I am aware of (#3) the SMS splitting issue - just thought it rather odd that they come in consistently out of order, regardless of what carrier they come from.
    As far as iMesages and Apple system issues - This unforunately is shaping up to be another symptom of internal issues with Apple.  Steve would not have tolerated the inconsistent service.
    I went to lunch and completely turned off "use iMessages".  I then sent several SMS messages, all of which were delivered as expected (though my wife received a photo that I had sent her two months ago at the same time!).
    I then switched iMessages back on and tested it - and so far, all messages have gone through as they should.  I am wondering if Apple's server issues might have needed some kind of "reset" of my account by going through this again... who knows.
    Either way - so much for the old Apple addage "it just works"....

  • Why are my iMessages sent from iOS (6.0) and OSX (10.8.2) being received in two different dialog boxes?

    I'm trying to unify my iMessages sent from my iPhone 4S and my rMBP. iMessages I send from my iPhone to my friend's iPhone is in one window, and if I send another from messages on my rMBP it is sent to a different contact box on my friend's phone.
    Is there any way to fix this, I've been trying different combinations of caller id settings on both and I'm so confused.
    Thanks in advance!

    ..I just find it strange that Oracle doesn't cache these blocks for me by replacing some of the aged blocks in the cache.
    Flushing the buffer_cache seems to have the desired effect, as it does then get cached.

    I can sympathize with your situation, archerdave1.
    Firewall software and anti-virus software are supposed to prevent things from running on your computer. This is to protect you from malicious software running without your knowing about it.
    If you run firewall and anti-virus software, it is your job to tell those utilities which programs (eg iTunes) that you want to be exempt from their operations. You have to manually configure your firewall and anti-virus software to play nice with iTunes or any other similar program. This is not Apple's fault, and it's not Microsoft's fault. You as the user have to learn how to do this.
    You also need to know how to use msconfig.
    For all the above reasons, Windows computers are very hard to work with and configure these days. I'm a professional computer technician, and it bothers me that people who really don't like to tweak computers are going out and buying Windows systems. They are just too complex.
    There is a perfect solution to your problem. You can switch to Macintosh. Since there is NO spyware and NO viruses that affect Mac OS X, you can ignore all those anti-virus and anti-spyware headaches and just enjoy using your computer.
    Moral of the story: If you don't want to tweak and configure your computer constantly to protect against malicious security problems, just get a Mac. Problem solved.

  • IMessages from Message App received from Apple ID/Email address?

    I downloaded Messages and my conversation with the same person shows up in the same thread whether I send it from my iPhone or through the Mac messages App. But for the RECEIVER of the message, it shows up as 2 different threads: one from my phone number and another from my email address. How do I get it to only show up as from my phone number for the receiver?

  • Why are some of my iMessage text messages being received sporadically by my father

    I've searched high and low, but couldn't find any information regarding this particular issue, so if you know of a link in the discussions please show me.  Today my father received 2 texts from 2 seperate numbers by friends of mine.  This is troubling, and isn't the first time.  I am using an iPhone 4 fully updated to 7.0.4. I recently noticed that I was no longer sending messages as an iMessage (blue text color) so I investigated the issue within the settings function and didn't really see any differences there with the exception of the Apple ID.  I've always used my father's Apple ID and only once has this happened, the only difference was that I was receiving his messages from people in his contacts.  It is also important to mention that my carrier is Verizon and that we are on a family shared account with 4 members.  I don't think that any of the other members have ever received any of my texts, but then again I don't know if they are using just one Apple ID (I think they have there own personal IDs).  So it comes to this, do I need my own personal Apple ID?  If that is the case why do they offer the option of selecting what numbers or email addresses to choose to have my texts sent to?  Also in order for me to open an Apple ID I must be the owner of a credit card which I do not use nor do I have, not even a debit/credit card.  Anyway, that's it.  I don't need my personal life spilled into my father's life, we all have enough problems of our own!   Ciao and thanks for any and all help.
