IPhone 4 is sending texts that I am not writing

I don't know how long it's been going on, but apparently only over the last day or so my phone has been sending out texts that I am not writing or sending. So far, only one person has told me they are getting them, so I don't know if my entire contact list is geting them or not. I know for sure a few contacts are not.
The phone receiving them is not an iPhone, and he is telling me that the texts are either completely blank, or are telling him to go to a website to look at the message. When he does this, there is nothing there. The website coming up for him is viewmymessage.com.
I am for sure not texting these; some go out in the middle of the night when I am definitely not anywhere near my phone. Any help would be really appreciated; I'm getting worried about this and any information getting out there.
Thanks in advance!

Seems very unlikely that your actuall iPhone is spamming random text messages.
But since there is a web extension to texting, i wonder if someone can spoof a text message from the web?

  • My iphone 5S will send texts as imessage but frequently switches to regular (green) messages even for people that I know use imessage - since we have exchanged (blue) messages previously. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a unit problem?

    Please help.

    You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in.  However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work.  That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important.  There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.

  • My iPhone 4 is sending texts from my email!! Error message near phone number!

    My iPhone 4 is sending texts from my email and when I go into the settings to fix this it says "Error" next to my phone number and will not allow me to select it to send/receive texts from. So people are telling me they are texting me but I have not received them and they are telling me that I am sending mesages from my email. Please Help!

    Open Settings.
    Go to Messages > Send & Receive.
    Select or unselect as you please.
    Tip: You can un-check your emails if you don't want to send or receive using your email.

    Check with your cell provider and make sure your texting plan is properly provisioned.

  • HT201365 Downloaded iOS7 on my 4S. Mostly went well, but sometimes screens lock up (especially text, but also Settings). Find I cannot access and send texts sometimes, plus do not receive some texts from others (group messages real problem).

    Downloaded iOS7 on my 4S. Mostly went well, but sometimes screens lock up (especially text, but also Settings). Find I cannot access and send texts sometimes, plus do not receive some texts from others (group messages real problem). Any work around? And related problem: Getting told can not connect to network when trying to sign on with Apple ID to launch Facetime and Messages.

    I've restarted several times. If I restore from backup, unfortunately the backup was done after iOS7 downloaded. Now, am I wrong that "restore as new" will essentially wipe me out? If so, and having backup, you're saying essentially start over and then backup?

  • Iphone won't send texts to non-iphone users

    I woke up this morning and my iphone 4s will no longer send texts to non-iphone users.  I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.  I reset my network settings.  I restarted my phone.  Nothing is working.  I don't know how to fix this.  I can send imessages just fine.

    I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.
    The ONLY SMS settings is: Settings > Messages > Sends as SMS > ON.  Is that what you mean?
    Did you contact your carrier to confirm that SMS is still provisioned in your account?

  • I have an iphone 5 prob sending texts to non-apple iphones.

    i have an iphone 5. all working EXCEPT...can't seem to send texts to non-apple iphones. can anyone help or suggest what prob might be?

    That has something to do with your carrier. If your phone is sending messages at all, it means your data is working fine, but if it's not sending just green SMS messages to non-iphones, you need to contact your carrier and let them know

  • My iphone 4 wont send text messages

    Hi. Im using an Iphone 4g (ios 7)  that is a few years old now. up until now it had worked mostly flawlessly.just a few minutes ago i tried sending a text to someone, and this is where it gets strange. i hit send, and the little green sending bar at the ts about 95% of the way there and then it stops and ays message send failed. i tried doing a reset by holding both buttons. and when it starts up again it works momentarily before not working again. i was just wondering if you had any fixes for this since sending texts is the main reason i own this device. it may just be the fact that its new years and thousands of people are sending messages at once but i just want to see if anyone else had this issue and resolved it.
    thanks everyone.

    Call your network provider and ask if you still have the RIGHT CONFIGURATIONS on your CELLULAR DATA

  • IPhone won't send texts to non iPhones

    I can send texts to iPhones as either iMessages or SMS messages. However, I can't send texts to contacts who use other mobile devices (ie. Not an iPhone). However, I can receive SMS messages from non iPhones,
    I've reset network settings and nothing has changed.
    I only purchased my phone a week ago and have had this problem since new.
    Any ideas anyone? Your help is much appreciated
    Note: iPhone 6 16GB using iOS 8.1.2

    Hi Rhys1998,
    Happy New Year!  If you are not able to send SMS messages to a non-Apple phone, try these troubleshooting steps:
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204065
    Check your device settings
    Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network.

    Check the recipient's contact info
    Make sure that you're using the right phone number or email address. 
    Go to Settings > Messages > Blocked and make sure that they're not on your block list. 
    Restart your device and check for updates
    Restart your device.
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Check for an iOS software update.
    Check the system status for iMessage
    Go to the Apple Services System Status page and check iMessage.Turn iMessage off and back on
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off, then back on.Sign out and back in to iMessage and FaceTime
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

    What's the difference between SMS/MMS and iMessage?
    SMS/MMS lets you send text messages and photos to other cellular phones or devices. iMessage lets you send text messages and photos to another iOS device over Wi-Fi, without worrying about text-messaging charges (cellular data charges may apply). 
    What do I need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage?
    Here's what you need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage:
    SMS/MMS: A text-messaging plan. Contact your carrier for more information.
    iMessage: An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
    Can’t get text messages from an iPhone - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5185
    You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage
    This can happen if you used iMessage on your iPhone and then transferred your SIM card or phone number to a non-Apple phone. If you didn't turn off or deactivate iMessage before switching to a non-Apple phone, other iOS devices will still try to use iMessage to send text messages to your phone number. Follow the appropriate steps below to resolve the issue. Likewise, if you can't send someone a text who used to have an iPhone, having them follow these steps should resolve the issue.
    If you still have your iPhone
    Put the SIM card you transferred from your iPhone back into your iPhone.
    Make sure that you're connected to a cellular data network (such as 3G or LTE).
    Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    If you don't have your iPhone or if you can't turn off iMessage
    Use the deregister iMessage webpage. For more information, see Deregister iMessage: Frequently Asked Questions.These steps won't deregister your phone number with iMessage

  • New iPhone won't send texts/make calls

    I broke my iPhone 5s a week ago, so I called *228 to put my number on an old iPhone 4 that my friend had so that I had a phone to use while I waited for my new one to come. My new phone is here and i have all my contacts on it as well as my apps, but it won't send text messages or make calls. I can't even call *228. I was wondering what I need to do so that this new phone is associated with my number again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Restart the phone by holding down the top/power button and the Home button at the same time until the device restarts.
    Log on to your My Verizon account and select "Activate Device".

  • Iphone 4 wont send text message

    I've got an iphone 4 and sometimes it will stop sending text messages. the send bar will load the whole way up until the last %10 then i'll get the red message send failure notice and it wont send any other texts until i turn it off then turn it back on. it's not really that big of a deal but it's really annoying. anybody know how to fix it?

    Most likely this is a carrier issue, but you can try resetting your phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    Note that your profile has inconsistent info: iPhone 4 and iOS 3.0.1. The iPhone 4 requires iOS 4.x. Please correct.

  • I believe some how some way my iPhone or appleID has been hacked into.  My iPhone sent 3 iMessages out that I did not type or send - 2 while I was sleeping and one while I was in mid imessage conversation.  Please help if you know anything about this!

    I believe that my iPhone or apple ID has been hacked into.  Three imessages were sent from my phone that I did not type or send - two while I was asleep at 1:15am and in the morning during an iMessage conversation.  These messages were to my boyfriend about my boss.  Apple and AT&T have been somewhat helpful but both are pointing fingers at the others saying they cannot track the message or see if my personal information has been compromised.  I feel extremely violated because this hacker knows who my boyfriend is and who my boss is and I just started this job two weeks ago!  I am about to go to the police because this person is trying to taint my good reputation and destroy my relationships at work and in my personal life.  Does anyone have any incite on how this could be done and is there any way to trace where those three iMessages were generated from??

    No I have my own iPhone iPad and MacBook  so everything is set up on devices that are mine and as far as I know I never connected to anyone else's device and logged with my apple ID.  But are you saying it is possible for someone to have obtained my apple ID and send an iMessage from their device with my contact information so it looks like it came directly from me?  It's crazy I looked down at my iPhone and saw this message had just been sent that I did not type or send
