Phone sends mulitiple duplicate SMS text messages

For about the last week I have had several recipients of text messages from me that complain they are getting the same message from me over and over, usually it seems to happen in three's. My phone is the HTC Thuderbolt.

Hello tmoneu,
My apologies about the text message duplication issue. I will send you a private message to get some additional info from you & resolve this once & for all.
Thank you...

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages?

You can send a message through an email gateway so that it appears as a text on someone's phone. However, it's not their regular address. For example, for a Verizon customer, it would be [email protected] Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

I have an iPhone 4, and iOs 5.1. Suddenly I cannot send or recieve SMS/text messages but iMessage is working - any help appreciated.

iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions. Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset.
Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone. If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again. I had this same problem. Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far.

I cannot send or receive SMS text messages and my number is not showing up in the 'Recieve At' location..how do I fix this?

I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup?

Searching app to send/receive SMS text message to regular cellphone.

Hi everyone,
I have searched before asking this (on web and forums), and could not find an adequate reply to my question. Maybe someone can help me here: I am looking for an app (or website accessible from Bberry) that would allow me to text (sms) to a regular cellphone (in Asia) for free. Does this exist?
Thanks.

Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot. Then see if you can send a message.

Can Messages beta send sms text messages?

Is it possible to send and receive sms text messages from my Mac?

I actually forgot to mention that bit, as I always turn on the instant messaging field by default in my template settings. For those that don't know how to do this, just open the address book preferences (Command + Comma) or from the Address Book menu, select Preferences, go to the Template tab, click the 'Add Field' drop down, and select "instant messaging'. I did define those SMS numbers as "AIM" for the 'type'.
Not really keen on the idea that I have to leave my AIM account logged in as I rarely use it these days, but I haven't found a way to work around that yet.

Can I auto forward sms/text messages to another phone?

I find myself in the unenviable position of carrying two phones and I need to have my main phone (iPhone 4) forward sms/text messages to my other phone (Samsung Infuse).
After tinkering with the various setting on the phone, and trying to Google it for the past couple of days I haven't been able to find ANYTHING!
If anyone knows of any apps, settings, tips, tricks, or work arounds I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
GBA

Take a look at Google Voice. I use it so I don't have to carry 2 phones. One personal, one for work.
It gives you a new number that you can direct to ring multiple phones simultaneously if you like. It will also handle text messages and forward them for you.
Even if you're only going to carry one phone, this gives you a # you can have other people call without having to give them your personal #.
There are other neat tricks you can pull with this. For example, it can display your GV # in the caller ID for incoming calls instead of the actual callers #. If you have a plan that gives you unlimited calling to specific #s, that means all those calls can be free if you add it to your friends/family/Alist/whatever they call it now.
You can also set time restrictions so that it will only forward calls/messages during certain hours or to different phones at different times. When I'm working or on call, I get calls from the office. If I'm not, they won't ring through (they want me on call, they can pay me for it. lol)
I don't know if it will be helpful for you, but it might be. The service is free with cheap international calling rates.

Why do SMS text messages sent to my iPhone while its powered off fail to arrive when I switch it back on?

Normally if someone sends you a SMS text message when your phone is switched off the message will be delivered to you when you switch the phone back on.
My iPhone 4 running iOS7 doesn't do this.
If someone sends me a SMS text message while the phone is off it permanently disappears. When I turn my phone on the message never arrives.
The problem has been identified when the person sending the text is using another iPhone, an Android phone, a Blackberry or an old Nokia handset.
The problem is repeatable 100% of the time.
If my phone is switched on it receives texts ok.
If I put my SIM card in another iPhone it works fine.
Anyone know why this is happening?

Same problem there. That turning off 3G fix didn't work for me.
It appears to be a fault with IoS 7 and iPhone 4.
Here are lots of threads reporting the same problem.

Can't send out or receive text messages from phones that aren't apple products

Have IPhone 5. After lastest updates can't send out or receive text messages from phones that aren't IPhones. Version 8.1.2

if the link provided doesn't help, contact your cell phone provider as SMS is a carrier feature.

Imessage stopped sending my SMS text messages, do you know why?

I updated my MacBook Pro a while ago to Yosemite - and surprisingly it worked out (together with my iphone4) to send imessage AS WELL AS normal text messages. However 2 days ago it stopped working and logs out all the time. Only imessage come through (but not always).
Do you guys have a clue, what the problem could be?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks Malcom! I just tried inserting the short characters before the message and it works.
But it's really boring having to type *# etc in front of a text message. The iPhone keypad doesn't lend itself very well for such exercises...
But thanks a lot for pointing me to a temporary workaround.
It's a bit embarrasing for Apple that Nokias, Ericssons, Samsungs etc do this automatically and you can chose delivery report on/off in settings for all these phones. But with Apple iPhone you have to write your own little string of code to get this basic functionality...
YOu actually have to make an extra 10-15 key presses in front of EVERY sms/text message you send for this to work... Something truly time consuming and boring. When I just want to send a text-message saying "yes" I have to type in *#KV and jump between character sets etc. Not nice.
How come Apple has failed to make this central thing of SMS/text work?

Can not send SMS text message.

Hi, I'm a BlackBerry user for 4 years now and this is the first time that I have a problem with SMS text messaging. My precious BB is a Q10.
The problem is that I can receive SMS messages but I can not answer and I can not send messages. When I tap the 'send' icon or press Enter nothing happens. My message dissapears and i can not see in the upper window, below the message that I've previously receive and I wanted to aswer for.
Also, I can compose SMS message, but when I press Enter or tap send, nothing happens. No message in the hub, or in the text messages folder.
I've rebooted the device, reloaded the OS, but didn't help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (step 1 should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive
2) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

Can a macbook send SMS text messages ?

With the new OS X Yosemite operating system, yes you can. It can send and receive them. With Yosemite and IOS 8.1 (released today) you can send and receive them from your iPad as well.
