I send out about 40 text messages every week but when a person responds to me it goes to everyone else I sent message to why?

I send out about 40 text messages every week but when someone responds to me it goes to everyone else that I sent message to I never had this problem sending out group text before I got Iphone I called Verizon but they were not very helpful. How do I fix this very frustrating for my friends and me.

Tomatoe, I've had this issue with my device and understand how frustrating it is when the message that is meant for you is seen by others. YOU have the option to turn your group texting off but the person sending the message reply back to you will need to turn their group texting off so that it does not go to everyone. I will list the steps to turn your group texting off but I recommend having the person who is sending you a reply to turn their off.
1) Click Settings
2) Click Messaging
3) Slide the Bar from on/off for Group Texting
Please le me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

  • I have an iPhone 5s (2months old) and when I dial out I hear no answering ring tone but when the person dialled picks up, I can converse normally. Frustrating not knowing if being connected or not. Using speaker doesn't help.

    I have an iPhone 5s (2months old) and have started to encounter problem. If dialling out I sometimes receive no answering tone and am unaware if connecting or not. This doesn't change if I use speaker. However, if the call is answered I can converse normally. It's very frustrating. Any ideas?

    Try resetting the phone. Hold both buttons until the apple logo appears and then let both go and wait for phone to restart

  • Unable to send or recieve video text messages after jelly bean

    I recieved the jelly bean update and I can not send a video message.  When I try it says that it is to large.  This occurs even if its a 2 sec video.  My video is set at the lowest setting also.  When I recieve a video message all I get is the audio.  Please help

        Dear Don2321,
    I am sorry to hear of the difficulites you are experiencing after the software update on your phone. Software updates are meant to provide benefits to your device so I can understand the frustration. Allow us to help get to the bottom of your video messaging concerns.
    On a Motorola Droid Bionic, if you are planning to send a video, you must first change the video recording mode to mms. Trying to send the video in any other video setting, will not allow you to send it and will give you an error message that the file is too large. To change the recording setting mms tap on the Camera icon>switch to video mode>tap menu>tap on the video mode icon next to the microphone>select video message. Once you have changed your setting to video mode, record your video and then send it. If you are still having issues with sending a video via text message in video mode, please reach out to us. We will be more than happy to assist you in further troubleshooting.

  • How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages

    How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages?

    You can send a message through an email gateway so that it appears as a text on someone's phone. However, it's not their regular address. For example, for a Verizon customer, it would be [email protected] Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

  • Why won't my iPhone 5 send pictures in a text message?

    Ever since I updated my phone I can't send pictures in a text message.  It just freezes right before the staus bar is all the way across the screen and then I have to send it as a text message.  Sometimes after I do that the person I am sending it to gets both pictures.

    Mine is doing the same exact thing. It has that red exclamation mark. Can someone please help?

  • 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?

  • Cannot send or receive some text messages

    I just got the iphone 4s, and am having problems sending and receiving some text messages, it is saying "Message Send Failure"

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

    iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions.  Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset. 
    Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone.  If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again.  I had this same problem.  Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far. 

  • My iMessage has been sketchy lately. One text it will say my iMessage was delivered the next it won't and I have to send it as a text message. I keep turning my phone on and off and turning iMessage on and off but nothing works. How do I fix this?

    It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

  • How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

    How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!  I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

    That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar.  I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade.  We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.
