Receiving duplicate SMS messages

I am using the Sprint Blackberry 8830 WE in Berlin, Germany using a pre-paid Vodafone SIM card. When I receive an SMS, I get the same SMS message multiple times at regular time intervals: At first the messages are close together (1-2 minutes apart), then they're hourly, then daily. Since I send SMS with multiple people, I'm bombarded with SMS messages throughout the day and night.
I've used this phone in Vietnam and did not have this problem.
I suspect that the phone carrier is not getting a confirmation that the SMS was received so it tries again, but I'm not sure. Is there any configuration setting I should look out for?

By default all the email messages will arrive in your Messages folder as well as the designated email folder. This is not duplicate emails and it's not consuming any additional memory in your device.

When I receive an SMS message, how do I find out the phone number it came from?

When I receive an SMS message from a person in my address book, the Messages app in my iPhone shows the name of the person who sent the message. At the top of the conversation, I can tap the word "Contact", which brings up the Contact's name, a phone icon, a camera icon, and a letter i in a circle. If I tap the i, it brings up the sender's record from my address book. How do I know which of the sender's multiple phone numbers is the number that he sent the message from?

Anyone Getting Duplicate SMS messages?

I've noticed this is an iphone thing, a friend who has a regular cell through sprint, mentioned that he gets duplicate SMS messages from me and another friend who also uses an iphone.
I get them on my iphone from other iphone users time to time and this is making me wonder, since the iphone is sending the same message twice, doesn't that mean we are being charged twice for the same message?
I don't know about you but that could add up to some excess charges on my bill that I don't see as fair for me to have to pay if the even arrises...

´search for your pc for .vmg files and when you find them, move them to some other folder in your pc and make sure that original folder is empty. then sync, any help

Receiving duplicate 'Sent' messages in Inbox

When I send a message via iPhone a copy is saved in my 'Sent' box. However, a few minutes later I receive the same message in my Inbox from myself (even though I addresses it TO someone else). It's frustrating receiving a duplicate from myself.... Does anyone know how to fix this?

I saw this on another thread... If you want to keep the Recent Mode ON - you can add a filter on your gmail account to send all mail FROM you to the trash.

Receiving duplicate Gmail messages (IMAP)

When receiving messages from my Gmail account in Mail, I receive duplicates. One copy is at the top of the left-hand column under the heading "Inbox." the other is on the bottom of the same column under "Gmail>All Mail." So, when I receive an email, I get the notification that I've two unread messages in my account.
Also, when I receive messages that go straight to the "Spam" folder through Gmail, I receive a notification that Mail has received a new message. In other words, I wake up every day to 15 messages. But 14 of those so happen to be spam.
Can someone help me with adjusting the settings for the issues I've listed above?

I asked this question in the Google help forums and got this ANSWER (which WORKS!):
"You can hide All Mail from Apple Mail and other IMAP clients, if you enable the Advanced IMAP Controls lab."

Not Receiving Text (SMS) Messages (On Rogers Network)

I have recently been experiencing trouble with my iPhone 4s. I would send text messages, however, the recipient would receive them, text me back and I would not get their texts back. After a few days or so, I would receive all the texts I did not receive in bulks. This has happened a few times already. My friends/family members who own a Blackberry have been receiving a notification that there is network congestion. (However, iPhone or Android users do not receive the same notification). No one I know is experiencing the same problem as I am.
I am on the Rogers network, texting phones (Blackberrys, iPhones, Androids) on the Fido, Rogers, Telus and Bell networks.
Is this a network problem or a phone problem?

I am having the exact problem - also a Rogers Customer with an iPhone 4S.   The rest of my family have Blackberrys (on Rogers, and Koodo).    When they text or BBM each other they each receive each others messages immediately.    When I try to text them, most times they receive the text after a delay which can be several minutes or up to a few hours.   Oddly, when they respond to the text, I receive the response immediately.
I believe this to be a hardware related issue, and am trying to isolate when it happens.    BTW - I get a similar problem with email - where it will not send and eventually goes to the outbox.    I have to resend and sometimes have to disconnect from the network (by turning on Airplane Mode) then re-connect before the emails get sent.
BTW, I am not running IOS 6 yet because I do not want to lose Google maps.   Running - 5.1.1

Duplicate SMS messages

I have been looking to find a solution to a problem but have not been able to find. Perhaps you can help.
I have connected my 3100 phone to PC Suite 6.8 (and previous versions). The problem is that upon synch thru File Manager, SMS messages continue to be duplicated. I have tried erasing everything from the documents&settings/username/phonebrowser/nokia xxxx/messages/inbox folder. In fact, upon doing this, PC Suite did not recreate the XML folder file, so i had to restore it. Even upon deleting all the messages it did not work, upon synch the error message says "cannot complete synch, phone memory is full"
Question is: how do i reset the SMS index on both ends, while keeping one single copy of my messages?
Any help would be very welcome

Is there any way to edit phone number hyperlinks received in SMS messages prior to calling them?

Just got a new iPhone 4s for work. I receive text messages from an answering service containing phone numbers to return calls. On my Windows smartphone, when I clicked the hyperlink for the phone number, it gave me the option to edit the number (for example, to add an area code prefix or *67 to block my number) prior to dialing. Is there any way to do this on the iPhone 4s

If not part of your iPhone backup, they are gone.

Verizon iPhone 4S stopped being able to receive SMS messages last night. Any ideas?

My wife and I have had our iPhone 4S's since they first became available in 2011. Up until last night we had not had any issues. All of a sudden a couple of our relvatives called us and said they could not send us text messages, they were getting Not Delivered messages or SMS Failure, depending on their carrier/device (they do not have iPhones). My wife and I were still able to send iMessages to each other, but when I shut off iMessage to debug, we were not able to send SMS messages to each other. Turned iMessage back on and we are able to message back and forth.
Note, our two iPhones share the same Apple ID, but each phone's iMessage is associated with a different phone number and email. Both phones were on iOS 6.0.2
I searched this forum and Verizon for solutions, tried several starting with reboot, delete all existing messages, delete contact and finally did a backup and factory restore via iTunes for my device only. Still no luck, I cannot receive SMS messages.
I had not yet installed iOS 6.1.x after reading of some of the issues. However, since I tried a factory restore to fix this, I was foreced to updated to 6.1.2.
We did not receive the message that we have reached the 75,000 message limit, but just to be sure, we deleted all old messages and still nothing.
So to summarize:
iMessage works fine, send and receive between the two of us and other iPhone users
We are able to send SMS messages, we have confirmed that people can receive our SMS messages
We cannot receive SMS message. We never see the messages and the people who try to text us get undeliverable messages.
All started yesterday evening.
Any help is much appreciated.

Contact your carrier to confirm that your messaging plan is properly provisioned. They are responsible for routing your sms messages.

Different alerts for email and sms messages for a contact with custom ring tone

Hello,
I have a Curve 8530 with OS 5.0.0.395.
I have my default sound profile set up to play one type of alert sound when I receive and email message and another when I receive an SMS message (so I know the difference without looking at my phone). That works fine except for contacts that I also have a custom ring tone set up for. It seems that under the Custom Ring Tones/Alerts section of the contact there is only one entry for Messages and it applies to both email and SMS. If I have the contact's message alerts set to the alert I have for email, then their SMS messages play the same alert and I might think it's an email. Or if I have the messages alerts set to the SMS alert sound then their emails sound like SMS messages. Is there a way to have a custom ring tone set up for a contact but still allow their emails and SMS messgaes to follow the current sound profile's settings?
Thanks.

Hello,
Have you had any luck resolving this issue. I had a 8230 and this was possible. But like you I can get the 8530 to work. If you found the solution, please let me know.

How can one ungroup SMS messages on a Z10?

I have in the past one week upgraded from a BlackBerry Torch 9800 to a BlackBerry Z10. On the Torch, there was an option to either group or ungroup SMS messages from the same sender, however, on the Z10, SMS messages are grouped by default and I am trying to find a way to ungroup them. Can somebody please help?

Hi, webreality212, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, Skype Numbers cannot receive incoming SMS messages; these would be routed to your mobile phone number instead. Here is are links to the FAQ articles with the rest of the details:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA676/can-i-send-sms-text-messages-to-any-number
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA3591/sending-sms-text-messages-windows-desktop (this article includes links to customized instructions for other platforms and operating systems)
Copied and pasted from the above article ...
The person you sent the SMS text message to won’t be able to reply you on Skype. However, you can change your settings to receive the SMS text message replies on your mobile. To do so, select Tools > Options… > IM & SMS > SMS Settings and enter and verify your mobile number.

Elaine
