IPhone 4 sending duplicate text messages. ideas?

My iPhone is sending repeat text messages to my contacts that do not have iPhones. I have tried updating my iPhone and this doesn't seem to help.

That info is just as useless as the info from 02 lol, reboot device, update firmware, reset network settings, bla bla bla, I've heard them all as solutions to every problem I've had and it's never worked for any of them,
I've had no 3G for weeks O2 said it was because I was on ios6 (I lied) as they originally said it was because I didn't update to ios6, then they had me resetting settings even tho I told them problem was on their end, sure enough 100+ minutes of phonecalls and they finally admitted 4 of their transmitters in my area were damaged due to floods! Would of been easier to tell me that in the first place, they won't even speak to me unless I said I had updated to the latest software as they blame everything on apple, and if you do update they then blame it on updating!
Anyway...
My issue is my wife sends me a SMS and I get it twice within seconds of each other
I'm running 5.1.1 shes running 6.0
Problem was here when we both had 5.0
Problem was here when we both had 5.1
So it's not a firmware problem and apple has done diddly squat to fix it
The first is a text message the second is an iMessage both together or within seconds of each other
Pretty sure its her 3G connection at work failing to send the iMessage then sending a text message instead but then sending the iMessage at the same time because it just so happened to connect
No need to reset anything

  • 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?

  • IPhone cannot send broadcast text messages?

    I could not send a text message to multiple recipipents at once. Anybody knows a way to do this?
    This is not looking good as I tend to send messages to a group of people everytime.

    Please see this thread:

  • HT3529 IPhone Sending Duplicate Text Messages

    My IPhone 4 is constantly resending people I have texted, texts from earlier in the day. People keep texting me complaining that they are receiving many duplicate texts from me! They are annoyed about it and so am I!! How can I get it to stop doing it aside from throwing it in the street and smashing it?

    Try rebooting:  Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the slider.  Leave the phone off for a minute or so, then power up again.

  • HT3529 Why does my IPhone 5 send multiple text messages to a few people?

    My iphone 5 sometimes sends a text 2 or 4 times to the same person even when I have only typed it once.  It frequently happens with my son who has a different carrier.  I have AT&T and he has Verizon.  He has a limit on number of texts so this is a real problem.  Does anyone have any answer to this dilemma?  I talked with AT&T and they registered my phone, but the problem still persists, and no one seems to know why or how to fix it.  PLEASE HELP!

    This problem is usually carrier related. Contact the carrier.

    You can try an app like PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac or PC). Both will allow you to archive text messages to your computer.

  • IPhone 4 cannot send international text messages

    I have an iPhone 4. Since day one that I bought the phone, I have not been successful to send international text messages. The procedure for sending an international text message is simple: enter 011, followed by the country code, and then the phone number. It has never worked. Each time, I get the following error message -- "Message Send Failure". Any ideas for fixing this problem?
    What surprises me most is that I have an HTC Trophy with the same Mobile Service provider. No problem exists with the HTC Trophy for sending international text messages.

    I never had problems sending international text since my first 3g iPhone and neither with the 4. The only problem is that international txts are too expensive, I recommend you to use Skype or other app that can send texts.

  • TS4268 iPhone users can no longer send me text messages now that i've moved to a non-iOS phone. Can iMessage service or Message users be refreshed to see me as a normal text message recipient?

    I still have an iPhone, but haven't turned it on for weeks. And there's no SIM in it, so no cell service, just WiFi.  When I turn it on after a prolonged period of having it off (weeks), a bunch of messages popup that should have been forwarded to my new phone (same phone number and carrier as when I was an iPhone user) but appear to sit in iMessage queue indefinitely instead.
    I'm guessing it has to do with the link that's made when an iPhone first realizes that it's talking to another iPhone and defaults, for all future texts, to iMessage.  You know, the green to blue switch.  How does that association get undone?
    Has anyone else seen this, and if so, is there a fix?

    your number can remain on the imessage server for some time

  • When I send a text message from my iphone sometimes the recipient receives it twice...why does this happen.

    Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.

    I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
    I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
    I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
    Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

  • When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.

    When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.

  • When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?

    When I send a text message to one of my daughters, the message ends up going to my other daughter's iphone.  Why?  All three of our iphones are using the same itunes account but all of the sharing is turned off and I have checked to make sure that each phone is set to only recieve imessages at its own number. 

    Are you using the same email address for imessages, Go to settings,message, send and recieve, does each phone have the same email? checked?
