My sms texts are still sending duplicates to some contacts

i'm still finding my iPhone 5c sends duplicate sms texts to some of my contacts. Marco49 suggested one solution but I'm sorry to say that didn't solve the problem.

Are you referring to an actual SMS, or an iMessage? If iMessage, do you have your settings set to Send As SMS if iMessage fails? It could be they are temporarily out of data range, or you could be as well, but it was just enough to begin the send. Are these text bubbles blue or green?
If this is an actual SMS, then I suggest that you contact your carrier, as SMS is a carrier function.

  • Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?

    Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

  • Got a Galaxy S 5 and people are still sending me texts through iMessage

    Someone stole my iPhone and I got a new phone, but switched to a galaxy S 5 and now my friends are still sending me texts through iMessage and I cannot receive them. Is there a way to deactivate iMessage without having the phone?

    And the very last entry says that if you cannot log out with your iCloud account that you need to contact Apple Support. Try calling them.
    If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

  • Iphone 5 stopped receiving SMS but can still send

    My iphone 5
    is only 3 weeks old and was working perfectly right up until one week agao.  It stopped receiving SMS yet can still send them iMessage works fine in both directions. Is there anything I can do to be able to receive SMS as I am travelling and not always on wifi?
    Thanks

    Well, I got it to work (of course, after hours of trying I get it just after posting this).
    Here is what I did if anyone else runs into this problem:
    1. Turned on my Apple ID email address for Send & Receive.
    2. Turned off text forwarding on all devices.
    3. Restarted all devices.
    4. Turned text forwarding back on but did not turn off my Apple ID email address.
    .... and then it worked. Not thrilled that I need to keep my Apple ID turned on for Send & Receive, but there is my solution.
    If anyone has discovered that you don't need your Apple ID turned on to send/receive, please let me know.

    I change phones and i am not getting regular txt messages because somehow the messages are still sending through imessage which i no longer have.... I deleted my phone number from the account though as per instructiions from the phone carrier and is still not working...Any help?

    Hello jn_andrade,
    It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • Re: Contacts - Why are there 3 duplicates of each contact?

    As the title says; there are 3 duplicates of each contact in my Contacts app Version 9.0 (1498) w/ OS X 10.10 ( I think this was an issue with Mavericks as well). Also, only the first contact shows 2 "iCloud"'s underneath "cards" info (picture below), whereas the 2 other duplicates do not. No duplicate contacts with synced iPhone iOS 7.1.2.

    You should only have 1 iCloud account and there may be the same contact in On My Mac. Go to System Preferences/iCloud and de-select Contacts. Check to see how many you have. Contacts/Preferences/Accounts - disable one iCloud account and delete the On My Mac.

  • IPhone 6 not sending messages to some contacts?

    Iphone 6 will not send text messages to some of my contacts. It will say ENABLE iMESSAGE TO SEND THIS MESSAGE... But iMessage IS enabled and I'm trying to text someone who doesn't have an iPhone anyway. SMS MMS is on.  I just updated the software in case that was the issue, but that didn't help.
    help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey there MeenaVee,
    If you are still unable to send to some of your contacts, use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help get that resolved:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

  • I have an iphone 5, i have stupidly never done a back up! And deleted a contact. When i search the phone text messages still come up from this contact but arent in my message inbox. Is there any way i can retrieve this contact?

    I accidentally deleted a contact but stupidly i haven't ever done a backup. When i search my i phone, text messages  that i received from this deleted contact still appear but they aren't in my message inbox. Is there anyway i can retrieve this contact??
    Thank you!!! 

    With no backup? No. Are you not syncing your contacts either over-the-air or with a supported application on your computer?

  • HT203167 I have purchased numerous songs from itunes and most of them are no longer in my library. A fwe of them I even re-purchased. I have 5 shared computers, but are still shared. However, some of the songs I purchased recently on this computer. SO NOT

    Itunes use to be so easy, but now it's always so difficult and I can't find about 75% of my purchases.
    I'm so done with Itunes! Anyone know how to get back my music?

    Sure.
    Open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links, and redownload them.
