Phone sending out ghost text messages

Today 2 of my friends received ghost text messages with no information in them. The only reason i caught this was because I asked them had they received a message from me. Both said yes, and it was blank. This occured once before about a month ago, but I never thought to ask if they had received a message. I checked my account this morning and it says I received 2 picture/video messages this morning (WHICH I HAVE NOT) and one of the lines indicates that someone else sent a message and a received the same message on my phone line. This is beyond weird.
I have spoken to a few others and they said they have had similar issues. I have an LG ALLY, I've had it for almost 2 yrs and this is the first time I've ever had any problems with "phantom" text messages and random charges on my account.
PLEASE ADVISE. Any help would be appreciated. I've already restarted my phone.
Thanks. J.

It couldn't have been a pocket dial situation because the phone is kept on a counter, not in a pocket or purse. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but the issue with the text message detail saying a message was charged on my account that I never sent is simply odd.
This doesn't address the fact that someone may have sent it without your knowledge, or do you also have your phone in sight of you 24/7?
You may also want to keep in mind you do have an Android phone. With this phone, you have the ability to download and install apps to your phone. To be able to use these apps, you have to accept the terms and conditions of each and every app which you install and use. Some apps state in the terms and conditions that it may send/receive text messages. Do you read and remember all of the terms and conditions for each and every one of the apps you have installed on your device?

  • After upgrading to iOS7, my phone sends out garbled text messages.

    Since upgrading to iOS7, my phone has sent out a few garbled text messages.  I did not text these people, it just appeared in my messages and the people who got them text me back asking about them.  I even deleted a phone number from my phone, only to have a garbled text message sent to that person the next day.   Has anyone else had this problem?

    I guess I don't have to wait
    I got it fixed

  • Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

    Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
    I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

        Antny,
    Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

  • I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has the iPhone 4 , both phones with updated current . We added iMessage to them at first it was great, now I don't get half the texts my husbands send and when I send him a text message it will come up from my email???

    I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has an iPhone 4, both phones are updated. We added iMessage the them both and at first it was great, the messages appear in the text messages under the phone contacts and when I send a text message it will either be a green message  or a blue one for (iMessage) depending on the signal.  Now when my husband sends a text message to me I don't get them all or some days none. When I send him a text message he gets them from my email address. I cannot send him a standard text anymore my phone only wants to iMessage, so if the signal is not right it just sits there undelivered???
    I also have a friend who that we regularly texted each other, for the past 4 months I can receive her texts but she never gets mine? And I have tried countless times, now iv given up trying and I don't use texting to either, but everyone else no problem.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • Brand New Iphone 5c can't send or receive text messages of any kind!? I've tried everything, why does no one have a solution for this? There's no way we're keeping a phone that can't even perform one of it's most basic functions. Help!

    Got the new Iphone 5c from Verizon today and was really happy with the phone until we realized it is unable to send or recieve text messages AT ALL. We've tried everything, searched the internet for hours, I've tried live chatting with Verizon and Apple ALL DAY and somehow keep getting "disconnected" even though my internet is working perfectly. The phone is pretty much useless if it's unable to perform one of it's main functions and it's really dissapointing to add a line, get the phone, only to discover a major problem with seemingly no solution whatsoever. Is there any fix for this? Because a phone that is incapable of sending or receiving a simple SMS message is pretty much useless. It's too bad too because I really love the phone if not for that. Does anyone have a legitimate way to solve this problem? We've done everything, network resets, turning imessaging on and off, factory reset, etc. etc. etc. and nothing works. Please help.

        Hello Idkallday!
    I know your device sends and receives text messages! Let's get to work on this! Did you port your service from another carrier, or is this a new number? Is your previous device still powered on?
    I also want to ask if you are able to use iMessaging, and if you see any error message when sending?
    Please test it by sending a message to your own mobile number, and keep us posted!

  • You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage

    You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage

    Yes, you can. I do it many, many times a day. If you're trying to send a message to someone who used to have an iPhone and who didn't disable iMessage before switching phones, they will need to unregister their number with iMessage:

    You also need to have SMS enabled with your carrier to send messages to non-iPhones.

    I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??

    Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

    let it do it's thing and reset.
    Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable

  • I am having tremendous difficulty sending simple voice text messages, or typed text messages to non I-phone users. Picture text messages will not send at all and can only be sent to other i-phone users. Is anyone else haing this problem ??  Big concern

    Well this is stupid - I wrote the question above and now it is telling me the message is blank - how dumb is this.
    I am having tremendous difficulty sending sipmle typed texts, voice texts and picture text messages to non I- phone users.
    Simple text messages are sporadic and seem to be impacted by whether I incluse a subject or not - picture texts will not go at all.
    Anyone else having this problem ???

    It's a corporate phone so will need to check. Will not send text messages to non I-phones if they contain a "subject" or a picture.  Wierd - regular voice or typed text messages are fine.

    On an I phone 4, how do you respond only to the sender of a text message which has been sent to several people> Our replies always go to all the recipients of the original text. Thanks

    Start a new text message only to that person, not in the group text.

    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.

    You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.
