ICloud creates duplicate text messages on both my phone and my wifes. Very annoying. where do I go to fix settings?

I can't find a easily accessible way to not change iCloud device coveage. Both my wife and I sync to the same computer and account. How do I get her phone number off of account so we don't get copied in on messages sent to one another?

To fix this go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive 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 the phones, on the other phone 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.

Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac

can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.

Hi julian KAYE!
You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.

It is a Continuity feature. See the quote below from: Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Phone calls
To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
Your iPhone needs to use iOS 8 or later.
Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.

No service on both my phone and my wifes

Arrived in Istanbul few hours ago and both my phone and my wifes phone shows no service..
Please help asap..

Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
But you can still do this if you are abroad.
If you have had the device/contract for 6 months or over you can login to your online account and turn on roaming yourself
Manage this device>Usage controls>Roaming abroad - Allow and Call abroad and turn it on. If the option is not there you need to call
It can take 24 hours to activate
If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.

Please read this about voicemail
http://ee.co.uk/help/getting-started/setting-up-voicemail/divert-to-voicemail
And this
http://ee.co.uk/articles/set-up-your-phone-for-using-abroad
Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country.

IOS is showing my text messages on my husbands phone and vice versa

My husband updated to iOS6 earlier today and I did it later. Now, whenever I receive a text message from anyone he gets it on his phone. Also, whenever he sends it to anyone I get it on my phone.
Even more interesting, if I send a message to him, it shows up on my phone as being from me. If he sends one to me, it shows up on his phone as from him. And, if I send a message on the thread that would be myself to myself, it shows up on my phone as being from my husband. Our Cloud settings are turned off. We do share apple ID. We share a phone plan through verizon. Our cell phone numbers on the phones themselves have not changed.
Any ideas?

Try this....
settings>messages>send&receive
from there make sure only the number for the phone has a check mark beside it.
You may have to do this to both phones. I think this will work as my husband and I are having the same problem.

HT1688 problem with some of my text messages going to another phone and other devices on my account

Some messages that are texted to my phone go directly to another phone(with a different number) on my account.

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.

Hi lusha,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you can't receive text messages after restarting your phone and trying to update, try these steps next:
If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.

I accidenttly deleted my notes and the icloud cleared all the message from both ipad and iphone ...How can i get it back?? If I can ??

Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
Email messages are not stored in your backups.

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.

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

Duplicate text messages in messages+

I am receiving duplicate text messages when using messages+ as my default app. A msg I send is sent twice & I receive messages twice. This just started about two weeks ago. I have had my galaxy5 for two months. I turned off the stock app yesterday & I am still getting & sending duplicate texts. Cache has been cleared without success. Help please!

Try the stock app in safe mode. You may need a factory reset

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?
