Have you tried contacting them to see why you are receiving the messages? I take it from you saying that it is from a "Known Sender" that you know this number, so blocking their number would be out of the question, correct? Contacting them is the first thing I would do because they may not know they are sending it, or an app may be doing it.

This can't be right correct? If anyone has founf a solution I would really appreciate some help as Im sure you can hear I am frustrated.
    thank you

    It is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.

    Can you turn off repeat text message alerts in ios 7?

    Settings/Sounds/Reminder Alerts
    Set to None.
    But this will turn them off for other alerts as well.

  • Why do i keep getting repeated text messages?

    When I am texting, most of the time I will get a repeated text message from the person I am texting. I know that it isn't the person that I'm am talking to's phone because this happens to anybody and everybody that texts me. I have tried doing a hard drive reset and restarting my iPhone but it hasn't done anything. If you know how to solve this, please reply to this! Thanks!

    as an example.. from the sprint forum for a different device (unsure what device.. it's just not an iphone since no iphone or ios device has these settings -- ive seen this advice several times and I believe it's some form of android.. but not sure)
    advice from the carrier advisor --
    "Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
    That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well. I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen."
    and another for you from a customer -- it is sprint again.. but this time a Samsung Epic
    "OMG ... if someone can't tell me how to fix this "9230: Message sent using invalid number of digits..." error, I'm going to scream.  My husband and I both have Sprint Epic phones and love them EXCEPT for this one problem! Help!"
    Maybe they should sue Samsung?

  • HT3529 iphone wont stop sending repeating text messages

    My phone is sending out the same text message to the same person every hour for 2 days now, and I need help stopping this?

    If the text message bubble is green then this SMS text messaging would be a carrier issue, call your carrier and let them know duplicate text  are firing off.
    If the message bubble is blue on your text messages, you are having a problem with imessage which would involve Apple if that is true.
    Trouble shooting imessage ---->.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    If you believe its the iphone sending messages on its own, you may want to backup your information and restore your iphone as new.

  • Turning Off Repeating Text Message Notification

    All on or all off.

  • IPhone 4 sending duplicate text messages. ideas?

    My iPhone is sending repeat text messages to my contacts that do not have iPhones. I have tried updating my iPhone and this doesn't seem to help.

    That info is just as useless as the info from 02 lol, reboot device, update firmware, reset network settings, bla bla bla, I've heard them all as solutions to every problem I've had and it's never worked for any of them,
    I've had no 3G for weeks O2 said it was because I was on ios6 (I lied) as they originally said it was because I didn't update to ios6, then they had me resetting settings even tho I told them problem was on their end, sure enough 100+ minutes of phonecalls and they finally admitted 4 of their transmitters in my area were damaged due to floods! Would of been easier to tell me that in the first place, they won't even speak to me unless I said I had updated to the latest software as they blame everything on apple, and if you do update they then blame it on updating!
    Anyway...
    My issue is my wife sends me a SMS and I get it twice within seconds of each other
    I'm running 5.1.1 shes running 6.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.0
    Problem was here when we both had 5.1
    So it's not a firmware problem and apple has done diddly squat to fix it
    The first is a text message the second is an iMessage both together or within seconds of each other
    Pretty sure its her 3G connection at work failing to send the iMessage then sending a text message instead but then sending the iMessage at the same time because it just so happened to connect
    No need to reset anything

  • LG G3 Text message repeat notification.

    Can anyone help me? The online guru couldn't! I set up my LG G3 text message notification to repeat every 5 minutes, this quickly became annoying, so I wanted to revert to a single notification. However, try as I might, I just couldn't find the menu in settings again! I tried to google it, to no avail, so I'm appealing to you, the great knowledgeable public.........thank you in advance!

    Open up the message app and look in the notification settings from there.

  • I bought my Iphone 4 from Sprint. I have little or no internet service. When I go into extended network areas, my phone sends old text messages to my friends, repeatedly. Is this a Sprint issue?

    I bought my I-Phone 4s from Sprint. The salesman raved about how much faster my internet would be with Sprint, also told me 4g was being added my area, and it would be even faster. Well now 4g is here. All of my friends on AT&T enjoy 4g, while I am only getting 3g, my internet is so slow, I rarely use it!
    Last week I visited the Sprint store where I purchased my phone, to find out what the problem was. They told me NONE of the I-Phones were capable of getting 4g??????  Wow, Has anyone else been blatantly lied to by Sprint.
    The other issue I am having is: every time I leave my home area, and go into the extended area network, and then return into my home area, my phone starts resending old text messages to my friends, that they had recieved days ago!. Of course the Sprint Personnel argued with me and said those were just messages that never went through the first time. I have screenshots of the duplicate messages from my friends, phones.
    My I-Phone was great for the first 2 months. this month my I-Phone has completely quit 3 times, Sprint says a tower is down every time I call in to report it.
    Is anyone else having these problems with the I-phone 4s?

    You are not alone on issues related to weak signals.  It happens to us all regardless of the carrier in the US. 
    I have an iPhone4, legally unlocked with replaceable SIM that I use here In Australia, the US and Europe.  I simply replace the SIM to phone accounts in other countries.  Do have issues at home here in Australia from time to time, but many more problems in the US than any other country.
    When the signal is weak, ususally 1 bar the phone does not have enough power to stay connected.  It will attempt to receive and send, but is trying to process so much that the signal cannot cope. 
    If any employee from Sprint, ATT or any other carrier attempts to tell you it is you and not their system they are out right lying.  Just as they lied when they told you that the iPhone was 4G.  Some try to get around the issue by saying 3GLite, but that really does not apply either because of the mobiles frequency range. 
    In fact the Australian government fined Apple AUD$2.25 million + $330,000 in costs for advertising that the new iPad was 4G and LTE, which it is not.  There is currently another legal challenge over the iPhone4S.
    If you have anything in writing from Sprint that says 4G then you need to contact your states attorney general.  At least file a complaint with both Sprint and the FCC.  If they tell you it is 4G then they either are lying or they do not have a clue to the mobile.
    When the signal is weak the phone keeps attempting to send anything that you have sent.  Sometimes that means multiple sends if the signal keeps dropping to low and it has to try all over again.
    One way around the problem is by using an internet or data based app like Viber or WhatsApp.  Both are voice, text and data Apps that will use Wi-Fi first then 3G if Wi-Fi is not available.  Because they use the data side of your mobiles plan it does not take as much power or size to receive or send.  Plus, because they are primarily Wi-Fi then data bases they do not use as much time or text units.  You can find them online or through the Apple App Store.
    Iv used Viber for years because I can use it overseas or talk, video, text or msg internationally without use of any mobile plan time.
    Rember to that in the states you have I think 72 days to return a mobile to the carrier without any charges. 
    I use ATT in the states and when I am at home here I get almost no signal ... I depend 99% on Viber or WhatsApp to even talk.

  • TS4097 we have multiple users in our family and multiple devices all sharing one itunes account.  i think we are all synced to one icloud account and it is a nightmare....contacts lost, text messags showing up on multiple devises etc.  how do we fix this?

    We have our family sharing one itunes account.  we have 3 iphones, 2 macbook airs, 2 ipads and 1 mac.  I am not sure how we even got started on the icloud but somehow we did and everything is a mess.  The ipads are showing the text messages, the contacts are all combined, the apps that my duaghter downloads are appearing on all devices.  how do we fix this so contacts are not shared, messages are not shared and apps are not automatically synced to all devises?

    You have two different issues going on.  You are getting each other's messages because you are sharing the Same Apple ID for iMessage.  This can be corrected by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on add the devices and doing one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on all of the other ones tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so all devices will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage).  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.
    The second issue is that you are sharing the same iCloud account on your devices.  When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    First decide which device(s) will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one(s) that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else that you want to keep on the device(s), save these to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this device, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice].  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a separate Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  Repeat this process for all the devices that you need to migrate to new accounts.
    When finished, to un-merge the data in your accounts you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • How do I make phone vibrate longer for a text message?

    I have an iphone 4s and I am wondering how I can set the vibrate longer for a text message.  I have it turned on.  I have set the vibrate to "Rapid".
    I vibrates long for a phone call, but I want it to vibrate longer than a short burst, which is repeated later, on a text message.
    Can anyone help?

    You can't.

  • How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic

    How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic?

    DH
    I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect.  If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values. 
    So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once. 
    Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP.  His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.

  • After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

    After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books.  Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

    Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within  chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
    Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???
