Recieving same texts on multiple phones

Recently I purchased an iPhone 5 and when I send text messages, some of them go to my Mother's iTouch. I did setup my Mother's iTouch under my same apple account, so my guess is that it has something to do with the same apple id. Any thoughts on what I should do to fix this?

1).You might need to deactivate iMessage under settings in her touch. But the she will have no more access to imessages
2). If your iTunes library is in the Cloud, and she gets he own apple Id then yes

IPhone keeps sending the same text message multiple times in a row.

My iphone (4s) keeps sending people the same text message multiple times (2-4) a few seconds inbetween. Sometimes it will tell me that there the message failed, but they still recieve it multiple times. I've already tried deleting the message tread and reset network settings. Nobody who has an iphone has said anything to me about it yet, only people with android.

It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

TS2755 keep receiving the same text message multiple times, at the same time of the night. How can I stop this?Thabnks

Hi
I keep on receiving the same text message multiple times and at around the same time each night. Any idea how I can stop this happening? The text messages are originating from to separate Saudi Arabian mobile numbers. Both these people are listed in my contacts so do you think if I delete their names it might stop the texts coming htrough each night?
Cheers

Deleting the people from your contacts will not stop the messages. Have you tried talking to the people and finding out if they're sending you messages? You could try contacting your carrier and finding out what blocking services they offer. However, theat would block all messages from those people.

How do we get everything to work normally again???

I Keep Receiving The Same Text Messages Multiple Times

Every single time someone texts me, it doesn't matter who, I will receive the same message from them multiple times. At first I thought it was just them resending their message but I asked and they said no. After a few days it started happening with all my contacts that I text. Sometimes it's every other text message and sometimes it only happens a couple of times but it's extremely annoying. It got so bad that I had to bump up my plan to Unlimited Messaging just so that I wouldn't go over my limit because I think that it's counting the multiple messages! Also, I've tried updating my phone and that didn't work.
Does anyone have any tips or solutions to this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Hi cbf10,
I am sorry to learn of the erratic duplicate messages you are receiving from several contacts. Let's narrow the potential issues that may be causing this behavior. Are you using a 3rd party application to send/receive text messages (i.e. Handcent, Go SMS, etc...)? Have you altered the operating system software in any way? What is your software version, baseband, kernel and built number?
Clearing messaging data/cache as applicable may resolve the issue: Menu>Settings>Applications>ManageApplications>All>Messaging>Clear Data/Cache. Try it and keep us posted.

Receiving the same text message multiple times when person only sent it once. How can I make it stop?s from

I received the same message multiple times and the person that sends it only did it once. Also, I have trouble getting texts from non iPhone using friends.

It's actually probably a carrier (or hardware) issue on the sender's end. Tell the sender to pull the battery from their phone (or reset it if the battery is non-removable). I've seen this issue with certain HTC phones (HTC did release an update which solved the issue on my Thunderbolt). As far as I knew, I only sent the message once. However, it would show up multiple times on the receiver's phone. Pulling my battery would solve the problem for a while. It did take the software update to stop it permanently.

I'm receiving same texts on 2 phones at same time. how do I fix this

Need help with 2 phones on same accnt receiving duplicate text messages. How do I stop this?

Hello sinn10,
The probable cause is having the same message identiity on both phones. This happens when you activate/reset a new phone. A prompt comes up telling you that you now will have acces to messages on this new phone and will include your other phone number and maybe icloud id.
To take a number off, please follow these steps:
Settings > Messages> Send & Receive> then uncheck the phone number or icloud id you want taken out.
I hope this helps.

Having trouble recieving/sending texts from I Phone 4

Over the last few days I have noticed that I have been having trouble with sending and recieving texts on my I Phone 4, when I send texts now it can take a while for them to get sent out or they will just come back as rejected, I have I Message on and SMS as well, and the email on my phone is totally screwed. When I open my email it won't show any mail at all, and than other time it will open and just close right away. I have noticed that with my Google and Facebook apps as well sometimes I will open them and they will just close, someone mentioned to me I should reset the network settings, is that what I should do?or does it sound like the phone is totally screwed up?

The easiest way to get everything over to your new iPhone 5 will be to backup the iPhone 4 then restore the iPhone 5 from that backup.
See this Apple doc for more info -> iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
If you don't want to do that, you can just sync the iPhone 4 with a contact manager on your computer using iTunes and then sync the contacts from the computer to the iPhone 5.
To see the contacts syncing options in iTunes, you just have to click your iPhone in iTunes > click the Info tab across the top of the screen.

How do you use Find Friends from same account on multiple phones?

I have one itunes account with 3 iPhones. When I send an invite from one phone to another persons email (in my family), it says I can't accept request from the same person. Basically, it seems that all the phones are tied to one Find Friends itunes account. Can you use this app in the same family with same accounts?

I have a similar problem. I hope that Apple will offer a solution. It would appear to be possible because you can choose to see one of your other devices by signing in at me.com using your Apple ID and will be able to choose any of your devices and track it on a map. I'm a little disappointed that this is an issue but will remain optimistic that someone at Apple will wee these posts and provide an update.

Checking texts with multiple phones on an account

I'm on my wifes account and was wondering how I can login to verizon and check my texts? It will only show the texts from the primary number on the account.

The text logs for all lines can be viewed when logged in as the Account Owner/Manager. If you're using Verizon Messages, you can see the text content, but each phone line would need its own My Verizon account to see the texts (and other backup type items such as Cloud) for that respective phone line.

Droid X - Receiving same Txt message multiple times, repeatedly

After an upgrade back in September/October... I started receiving the same text message multiple times. It doesn't happen every time. For example, my Husband responds with "OK" and I receive the same message 5 times over a period of 4-5 hours.

Welcome ... SEARCH is your friend in this forum as most issues have already been reported. I did a quick search on "Multiple" and this popped up:

"Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage. You will need to create a separate id for you wife. OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

Just upgraded to iOS 7 and messages are showing up on multiple phones within our family. We all use the same iCloud account. I believe this happened the last time there was a major iOS upgrade but I can't remember what the fix was! Help!

The four members of my family just upgraded to iOS 7 last night. We now find that we are receiving each other's text messages. It's possible that during the installs, a few members may not have "unckecked" the multiple phone numbers they can be reached on. I know that I had to uncheck my husbands work mobile number and work email address as they came up as choices for contacting me. So now I am receiving some of my daughter's text messages on my phone - she's not impressed! My husband is receiving my texts etc... It's a mess! I appreciate any help anyone can offer!

I had this problem last night as well. Only my daughter upgraded to iOS7 and she had an old phone of mine. When she upgraded, the phone asked for my apple ID and then continued as normal. However, after the upgrade, any text message that I recieved, she also recieved. I am pretty sure my wife thought I was hammered when she started texting me and my daughter began answering her not having any clue what she was texting about. Anyway, this only occurred with texts from other family members, not from texts I received from friends who are obviously not on our account (we have Verizon BTW). To resolve this issue, and it isn't a short resolution.... there are two options... One, simply erase everyting on the phone.... I don't like iTunes 11, so we were unable to back up her phone. I made her go through her 600 photos, delete the ones she didn't want and email the ones she wanted to herself, and then we wiped the phone clean and rebooted it... go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. The second option, if you have iTunes 11 is to back up the phones one at a time, and then go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. Either of these options wipes the phone clean of all information, text contacts pictures etc and then you have to re-enter all of your individual information. When you do that, make sure that no one is on the same iTunes account. Theoretically, after you do this, you plug back into your computer and SYNC your phone from the last back-up. This resolved the problem for us. I don't know if there is an easier solution, be we tried logging in and out of our iTunes Accounts, turning the power on and off, and nothing changed. So, we had to go the more difficult route to avoid mass confusion with family texting.

I updated my spouses iphone with the same apple id, now he is recieving my texts. how do i change without loosing his data?

I updated my spouses phone using the same apple id. I must have clicked ok to something i shouldnt have at some point.....because now he is recieving my texts! I still recieve my texts, but he also recieves them.
I went to restore his phone but it said it would only restore to factory settings and i dont want to loose the data.
How do i solve this?

Try settings, messages, tap on send & receive, there should be phone number options to choose from...uncheck your phone number.
This is an added feature to allow a user to see messages across multiple platforms like your iPad and iPhone.

On a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed. How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them. this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.

Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.
