IPhone 4S repeatedly sending the same texts

A text that was composed using Siri is repeatedly sending every few hours. I have also received notifications that other texts that were sent over a year ago  are trying to resend. Does anyone know what's up with this?

Its neither in the Outbox or the Sent box. Turning the phone off stops the sending, turning it back on restarts the sending.
I've tried a *#7370# reset but do not know yet if the problem persists. I am kind of reluctant to put my contract SIM back in as it was repeatedly sending the SMS to an international number (every 3 minutes precisely according to my provider billing account) and its cost a lot of money so far. But when I replaced that SIM with another PAYG SIM the sending did not continue even before the reset. So, its doubly confusing.
What are the codes for the various resets?
Many thanks for your reply, hope you had a great christmas so far

  • IPhone keeps sending the same text message multiple times in a row.

    My iphone (4s) keeps sending people the same text message multiple times (2-4) a few seconds inbetween.  Sometimes it will tell me that there the message failed, but they still recieve it multiple times.  I've already tried deleting the message tread and reset network settings.  Nobody who has an iphone has said anything to me about it yet, only people with android.  

    It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
    They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

  • N96 repeatedly sending the same message

    My N96 clearly has a serious issue, well its serious to me given the huge amount of money it is costing me to send a text message right now. When I send  a message, it continues to keep sending it over and over and over and over again, every few minutes, despite the recipient getting the first message and replying.
    I've taken the battery out and left it out for a day, put it back and it does it all over again.
    Can anyone offer a solution to this insane problem?
    thanks in advance

  • Every time I text my wife's I phone it sends the same text to me.

    I share an apple account with my wife. Every time I text her I phone from my I phone I get the same message sent back to me.

    When you use the same AppleID to setup iMessage, you both end up sharing the same iMessage account.  The cleanest solution to your problem is for one of you to get another AppleID and use that for your iMessage, thus completely separating eachothers iMessage accounts.
    Each of you can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (all you need is a unique primary email for each one, using free email accounts, for example).  And, you can use a different AppleID for each service that Apple offers - iCloud, iMessage, iTunes, the App store, these forums,...
    So, you can both use a common AppleID for all your purchased content from iTunes and the App store, but use different and unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage so those accounts are not shared.

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

  • 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.

  • Why does two iPhones show the same text

    MY sons iPhone and husbands iPhones are sharing the same texts and syncing with one another how to do I stop this

    Use a different Apple ID for iMessage on both phones.  (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes.)
    One of you needs to go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a differert ID.  If you are sharing the same ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls.

    Hi All - I sent an sms using my iphone 5 - It is PAYG and had no money in it. (stupidly)
    It tried to send as an SMS but gave the 'green button reject message'.(no money)
    Step 2 in this stupidity - the phone keeps trying to send the deleted text via SMS and wont stop notifying me of this. Totally ruining the functionallity of my phone, and more so totally annoying. All I want to do is stop the constant re-trying of sending the deleted SMS.
    Any ideas?
    Many Thanks!

    Hi, many thanks for your help - Pressing and holding sleep/reset hasn't worked, the msg is still continually reporting it is failing to send. I can restore to a previous version however I'll lose my paid apps. Is there any way to work around this. I'm only concerned about one app - Epocam HD which I purchased last month. My last backup on PC is 4 March 13 - before I bought the paid app - Itunes advises me I'll have to re-pay to get my apps (app) back. Even though it advises that icloud backed up this morning at 1:30 am (which although it is before the text, I cannot manually select this restore).
    What a mess!

    Do you still have the iphone? I know this has been an issue with phones that were lost or stolen, but if you still have your iphone try going into settings on that iphone and turn off imessage. See if that helps,certainly cannot do any harm.

  • When my husband and I got these iPhones . We had the same Apple ID .(not good) that has changed . We have a iCloud acct. how or what do I need to do to change on my setting under iCloud it has his Apple ID  and also on r PC it has only his info none of mi

    To change the iCloud account on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  When you delete the account you will be given the option to either keep or delete the iCloud data from your phone.  This also, only deletes the account and the iCloud data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Your husband's phone won't be effected by this.  Then, to create a separate account, sign back in with a different Apple ID (you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes).
    If you have any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account. 
    If you're sharing the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  To prevent this, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your new iCloud ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
