Sending text messages to the wrong recipient

Until OS 4.0 I had sent maybe a handful of texts to the wrong person. No biggie. Totally my fault. Then OS 4 brought a change in the way your phone loads the MMS app when a at least one text is ignored from2 or more different phone numbers. Prior to OS 4 when you unlocked your phone after ignoring a text for each of at least two different phone numbers your phone by default would open the conversation from the most recent text message recieved. It was predictable. Then you could selectively choose who you would respond to. It always defaulted to the most recent text received.
After OS 4 when the aforementioned scenario takes place the iPhone now randomly chooses one of the conversations of one of the texts that has been ignored. Since this change i have sent the wrong message to the person dozens of times. This is an aweful update and makes not logical sense. Is there a way to vhange this back to the previous method or if I get enough people to submit requests can this pleaze be changed back. Every single person I personally know running OS 4 hates this feature and wishes for the old way bafk. Please listen Apple!!

I agree. This was a really bad move by Apple. Having a text conversation with someone and your SMS goes to the wrong recipient is a really, really irritating feature of iOS 4

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks

After troubleshooting and updating and even calling customer service I still cannot receive or send text messages. whats the deal?

My blackberry curve wont let me receive or send text messages

This very strange JulianPrice! When did this messaging issue start? Are you able to send /receive message to any contact? Is this issue with SMS only or MMS as well? What messaging application do you use? What is your current ZIP code? Do you have the latest available software for your phone? Please answer these questions and we'll explore options to resolve.

Unable to send texts messages containing the letter é anywhere in the text

I am unable to send ANY text that contains the character é as in Pokémon since January on my Droid Razr... prior to January it sent just fine, but the message just hangs in the 'sending' and NEVER gets sent!!! the recipient NEVER receives the text and it NEVER goes into failed status!!!! just hanging in 'sending' mode!!!! only does this on Verizon Wireless phone... so frustrating as my nerd friends like it and I prefer to type Pokémon rather than Pokemon!!!

What happens when you try to send a message? If you get an error message,
what is the exact complete wording of that message?
Are you using iMessage or a 3rd party app?
Is your account properly provisioned for messaging if using other than iMessage?

I have an iPhone 5c that was purchased 10 months ago,, suddenly i can no longer make or receive phone calls, send text messages and the time is always wrong

I have an iPhone 5s that no longer makes nor receives phone call, the time will never stay corrected. Anyone with any thoughts?

samjohns146,
Making sure you can use your phone when you need it is certainly a concern of every consumer. I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your phone but you have reached the right place for assistance. Has your phone completed any recent software updates at all? Let's try resetting the network settings http://vz.to/1ovdCBD to see if that resolves the issue. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

My phone won't make or receive calls or send text messages after the iOS 8.1.1 update.

My phone will no longer make or receive calls and I can't text after upgrading to iOS 8.1.1. I've tried everything except chucking the phone out the window. Any ideas? I have reset it multiple times, turned it off and back on, reset the network settings, reset all settings, toggled the airplane mode switch, and done a complete factory restoration. What else is there to do? I can't get a new phone for another year.

My wife is having the exact same issue after updating to the new iOS 8.1.1 and we've tried all the same steps even restoring the phone as a new phone. We've contacted our service provider and they've told us to go to apple to potentially "remove" her serial number from their servers to allow it to work properly on the service we have. We are desperate as purchasing a new phone right now is not an option and she desperately needs her phone for work and life.

Droid Bionic text messages going to wrong people

I have had my Droid Bionic for several months now. It is not rooted and I don't download tons of apps on my phone. I don't use netflix to watch movies or download music. The apps I have are mainly to help me with work. So I'm not app happy just downloading things non stop. This is why I'm confused and irritated. My Bionic has started sending text messages to the wrong people! I had this issue with my Droid X which is why I switched to the Bionic, hoping that after all these years of making smart phones motorola, google and verizon would put a phone out there that actually works like it's supposed to. How much practice do these phone companies need to get their OS right? I don't mind paying a lot of money for something that will make my life a little easier but I get very irritated paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work the way it's supposed to...and at the most inappropriate times. The Bionic has gone from helping to adding to my daily hassles. Is anyone else having issues with text messages going to the wrong people on their Bionics? Have you found a way to fix it? I'm also getting error messages that just started about a week ago...com.motorola.main.service has stopped and then a option to forceclose. The tech support person at Verizon sounded like he had never seen a smart phone before and gave me the Verizon standard technical reply..."do a factory reset". I should not have to reset anything on a NEW Phone! Why don't you fix these problems Google, Motorola and Verizon and in a timely manner?! I know for a fact if I didn't pay for my phone as promised or pay my bill as promised I would suffer the consequences immediately! You cell phone companies are all about getting your money and leaving us customers out here hanging and irritated. If you think my feelings are misguided then feel free to prove me wrong. FIX THESE ISSUES AND FIX THEM IN A TIMELY MANNER! BETTER YET, PUT OUT A PRODUCT THAT WORKS AS PROMISED IN YOUR ADS! TRAIN YOUR TECHS TO ACTUALLY RESOLVE ISSUES INSTEAD OF RECITING THEIR FAVORITE MOTO "Do a factory reset"! When you do these 3 things I will not feel like someone who has been lied to, robbed, and irritated! I am usually a very positive person but after dealing with issues with 2 expensive phones I'm a little upset. Can anyone help me fix my phone?

Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

Anyone have a problem sending text messages being delivered after few minutes up to five minutes?

Has anyone have a problem sending text messages and the messages won't get delivered after few minutes? From time to time I would have this problem and it's annoying. I would expect someone to receive it by then and response to my text right away. But when I look up the text it hasn't been delivered and it's in the process. I would hear that the message get delivered after few minutes? What gives? I never had a problem with my iphone 4 i think? Now with iOS 5 it let's me know whether it is delivered or not. This new feature is awesome but disappointing when I know my text hasn't been delivered right away. I'm not sure if it's the software or my iphone 4s or my carrier? anyone suggestions? Thanks!!

HT201263 My IPhone4 won't send text message to anyone.

My Iphone won't send text message to anyone. It always say fail and give me a red sign. I already reset it and turn it of and back on. It won't give me a number to choose from and will give me my email account. I call sprint and they say that my IPhone4 is a detective phone/don't work. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?
It always say waiting for activation and what is SIM
Everything on my IPhone4 work but my message.

This is probably a carrier issue; have you talked to Sprint about this problem? Your complaint was truncated, so it appears to say a "conversation open" at the end. If this is the case then the device is sending text messages, and the other party is receiving them. If this is occurring then it sounds like a problem with the receiving party or carrier.

Is it possible to send a text message using the UDP protocol?

Support doc
http://www.adobe.com/support/director/multiuser/using_udp/using_udp02.html
says to use the following format with connectToNetServer:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #smus,
#localUDPPort: 1627,
#localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
But if I change the mode to #text, it still sends out
messages as smus.
In fact, if I leave out the UDP parameters altogether but
still use the
list parameters for connectToNetServer, it still always sends
as smus.
Sends as smus:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text,
#localUDPPort: 1627,
#localAddress: "123.45.67.89", #remoteTCPPort: 1626])
Sends as smus:
errCode =
gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer([#remoteAddress:
"chatServer.myCompany.com", #logonInfo: [#userID: "Bob",
#password:
"MySecret", #movieID: "Tech Chat"], #mode: #text])
Only the string parameter method can be made to send text
messages.
Sends as text:
errCode = gMultiuserInstance.connectToNetServer("Bob",
"MySecret",
"chatServer.myCompany.com", 1626, "Tech Chat", 1)
Am I missing something? Is this a known issue? Anyone have a
work around?

Drat!
Thanks for the answer though.
