MMS messages I send showing received from different phone number

Very strange behavior. I sent an MMS (video taken previously with my iPhone 3GS and stored in my library)to two different iphone users (one message, two recipients)and on their phone it showed a completely different "from phone number" This happened at least three times. Sending the same message a fourth time displayed my correct phone number on the recipients phone. AT&T said it myst be a problem with Apple or my phone, they connected me to Apple. Apple said it can only be a problem with AT&T..... Go figure!

This same thing has happened to me, except I was on the receiving end. I was in the middle of an MMS discussion with a person who I regularly text with. Suddenly, a video MMS from the same person showed up from an unrecognized number - a number neither of us knows. Subsequent MMS messages showed up as having come from the correct number. Has anyone determined any causes and/or solutions to this? Thanks!
* Both iPhones are 3GS, neither is jailbroken, both are completely updated with most recent software and carrier settings.

TS2755 My husband and I have iPhone 4S's. For some reason, my text messages show up on his phone. We share the Apple ID, and my settings are such that I send and receive from my phone number and email address. How do we correct this?

My husband and I both have iphone 4S's and for some reason he gets my text conversations w/ other people. We share the apple ID and I have my settings set to and from my phone # and email address. He is getting tired of being apart of text messages I am on. How do we remedy this?

Each of you need to have your own apple id's instead of sharing is the best way. But you can go to each phones settings, messages, send and recieve, and down to start new conversation from, and make sure each of you have your own email address with a check mark beside of it not the same address.

Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at and Start new conversations from. If you never want an iMessage addressed to your registered iMessage email address or addresses, remove the email addresses below you can be reached by iMessage at and be sure to have your cell phone number selected for start new conversations from.
The same for FaceTime at Settings > FaceTime.

You can only send and receive iMessages on iPads-they do not do SMS
The messages you send to phone numbers are known as SMS. The iPad cannot send those. Only iMessages through email addresses.

TS2755 Turn on send and receive for your phone number

I can't turn my phone number on to send and receive messages it is grayed out.

So the issue is with iMessage.
In the future, it is extremely important to be specific about the issue that is occurring.

When I send txt msgs from my phone the message shows on the recipients phone as if it came from my gmail account. What causes this? I'd like to correct this because when I receive their reply it sometimes shows up as an email.

I go into Messages there is a Send & Receive selection. My email address
is showing. I select Send & Receive and mu phone and email address is
there. A check mark is next to my email address. Is this the problem? I
was unable to remove my email address. I tried to remove my email address
but the response is "This email address could not be removed."
Thank you for your response. I will stand by for your next request or
instructions.

There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products. The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message. It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
Email, however, is a whole different category. I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only. Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

MMS that I send show up extremely small to others...?

Recently I've run into a problem with how others recieve MMS messages from my iPhone (3GS). Before, others would receive pictures from my phone in a normal size, but now when they recieve the pictures, the size of them is extremely small. Is there any way to fix this? It was fine before, and now it's causing a lot of headache when it comes to sharing images.
Any help if greatly appreciated.

The Caller ID setting determines how your message will be received by others. If you select your number there, your message will be identified by your number to the recipient, and if they have your name and number in their contacts it will display your name. The Receive At setting only shows the ways others can address messages to you, such as by your phone number or email address. (Your number shown in Receive At can't be selected because you can't be changed or removed.)

If I send a text from my phone does that text show up in every device I own??

If I send a text from my phone, will it also show up on every device that I have?? And what about texts I get back

For imessage if you are signed in thru your apple id for all your devices, yes I believe you will receive it all.
NOt sure about text message.

This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. You can continue to share the same ID for pruchasing from the iTunes & App stores, but you should be using a different ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so you are both using a different ID for iMessage); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

Hello
I received an unsolicited message from a phone number. I deleted it.
A second copy arrived and I deleted that too.
The message says send STOP as a reply and it will be stopped but the web says this is a way to give the sender access to your account and they will charge you £3 every time.
Did i do right to delete it?
How can I block a number? The system on my iPhone iiOS 8 and Mac Yosemite will not allow it.
How can I change my status (as I do on Skype) to stop these messages safely?
Anythoughts?

Why not using ASP?
If on your webpage you have some buttons that runs at server, the server can create a web Client and using your IP address retrieved from the cession, communicate with your application (that will act as web Server).
then the web client on the web server can send request to your VB application and read a stream as response.
This web client being control by the buttons on the web page, gives you complete control over what and when the data is sent
This way you will have a complete control over the VB application from the web page.
I am not saying that the way you want to do it cannot work, ... but it seems more complicated
