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

HT1349 MY IPHONE 4 THAT IS ONE MONTH OLD IS SENDING MULTIPLE REPEAT TEXT MESSAGES AND EVERYONE I KNOW IS ANNOYED WITH ME, IVE READ THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE OR IF THERE IS A WAY TO FIX IT? I CAN NOT SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER

My iphone 4 is about a month old ad it continues to send multiple repeat texts message to the point where I have stop sending texts because everyone is annoyed with me, is there a solution that anyone knows of? I am hearing from sprint that it is apple's issue and from apple it is a sprint issue. They said I can take it to the store but its one month old and I find it hard to beleive that they do not have an easier solutions, i dont have time to or the patience to give up my phone for three days. This can't be right correct? If anyone has founf a solution I would really appreciate some help as Im sure you can hear I am frustrated.
thank you

It is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.

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.

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

Duplicate Text Messages - Pantech Crux

Hello, I began receiving duplicate text messages once I upgraded to a Pantech Crux. The duplicates are not labeled *duplicate message* like others, rather they are just received about 30 seconds after the original.
This happens regardless of sender but does not always happen. It will also happen regardless of whether or not I read the first message before the duplicate arrives.
Is there any solution to this? Will I be charged for all the duplicates?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

Are you still receiving duplicate txt msgs? I've been having the same issue since May and I keep getting the run around. My husband and I have the same phones and first they told me they had to do a "network" update that was supposed to take place on June 27. I've still been receiving them. I called again last friday and the gentleman from tech support told me to do a device software update on my phone. I did that and I'm still getting double txts! Very frustrating!!! I've called around 7-8 times! Not getting anywhere with my problem! During the month of July I had gone over my txt limit and the lady I talked to gave me a higher text package and wasn't going to charge me the difference. But when she did that she canceled my text messaging package and I got billed $180 for text messaging! Not very happy with Verizon right now! We are debating if we should cancel our service thru them and go to another company!
jmm823,
I definitely understand your frustrations and would like to assist with correcting this for you! Our Product Development Team is aware of the issue and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix. In the meantime, I would be happy to review your account and correct the text package and billing for you. We definitely do not want you to have to consider leaving Verizon Wireless! I will send you a message, and you can reply with the requested information.
Thank you again for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

Cant get contact names to show up on text messages received

I cannot get contact names to show on text messages received. It worked on my old iphone and i just upgraded to the 6

Do you have your contacts in the Contacts app? How are you syncing your contacts, via the computer, or iCloud or other cloud service?

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?

Getting duplicate text messages, each message twice

getting duplicate text messages, each message twice
changed simms and #s on the phone now every text message comes twice at the same time?

I would call your carrier and talk to them about this.

Duplicate text messages Handcent msgs

I downloaded the handcent application and it sends out duplicate text messages. People have gotten the same message from me anywheres from 2-5 times. Not everytime, but still annoying is there a way to fix this problem. It has gotten worse just recently

When you download a new messaging application on the phone you would want to make sure that the old messaging application is closed. The default messaging application is probably running in the back ground causing duplicate messages.
Lets try 3 things to correct this issue:
First you would want to disable the default messaging application.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Running services.
Touch a service (select the default messaging application).
Choose the default messaging application.Touch Stop.
Second could I get you to do a soft reset on the device.
Soft Reset
Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.
Third:
Could I get you to dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Running services.
Then re-check your applications, making sure the default messaging application is not running.

Is there a procedure for printing out text messages received on my Lumina 822?

I have attempted to research an appropriate procedure for printing out text messages received on a Lumina 822 without success. Has anyone been successful in performing this type of task? Thank you!

Super_Dad_of_twins That's a great question. Many people are looking for ways to print text messages. What we can recommend is that you forward the text to your email account and print them that way. You can research third party applications for other options besides email. Please keep us posted.

My 4s has begun sending multiples of text messages, occasionally sending those hours or even a day later. Is this something i can fix? or is there a problem with the phone

My 4s has begun sending multiples of text messages, occasionally sending those hours or even a day later. Is this something i can fix? or is there a problem with the phone

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Why do text messages received on multiple iphones?

why do text messages from other family members being received on multiple iphone 4's. Also, on an itouch device? How do you eliminate this from happening?

Use a different email address for iMessage.

TS2755 duplicate text messages being received on 2 i-phones

I bought a new i-phone 5 and gave my old i-phone 4 to my wife now she keeps getting my text messages even though I get the messages on my new phone also ?

nope, I deleted my i-cloud account from her phone and set up a new one for her but it still persists ?

Random duplicate text messages.

I keep recieving duplicate random messages after upgrading to the iPhone 6. Most of the time it is at the time i recieve a message or mms but it has happened where it can be many hours later. I have recieved the same message up to 5 or 6 times in one or two cases. Any idea why this might be happening?

Happy Friday Traffalger! We're excited to partner with you and get the duplicate texts issue resolve once and for all. Are the duplicate coming from only one contact or multiple contacts? Do you have iMessage turned on? If so, trying turning iMessage off & retest. Let us know the results.
Thank you…
