Text messages going to the wrong people...

I just got my new phone about 3-4 weeks ago.  Atleast once a day it seems, I am on a thread to send a text message to one person and it ends up going to someone else.  The person it goes to is someone I've previously been texting but days before.  So I haven't even been on that thread for days! Does anyone else have this problem? 

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying.  I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around.  What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when.  I'm very disappointed in Verizon.  I've been with them for many years.  They were my first and only carrier.  I will definitely not be taking this lying down.  I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it.  And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology.  I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

  • Trouble with text messages going to the wrong person

    I have four family members all on the same Apple ID account.  Text messages are going to the wrong people when sent among family members.  Text A going to B ends going to C.  Not sure what the problem is.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Text messages going to the wrong phone.

    My son, wife and I each have an iPhone 4.  My son and I each have aan iPad2.
    Recently, some text conversations between me and third parties showed up not only on my iPhone but also on my son's iPhone and iPad.
    I attempted to solve the problem by turning off iMessage and then by creating a new apple ID for my iPhone and my iPad.
    Messages from thrid parties sent to me now sometimes turn up on my son's iPhone (and, I presume, his iPad- he's overseas with his iPad and without his iPhone, and our communication has been spotty, but he has confirmed that he's recieving on his iPad at least some of the texts sent to me).  Now, when the texts sent to me by third parties show up on his iPhone, they do not show up on my iPhone.
    This is too weird, and it's really difficult to communicate with others when I can't tell if I'm getting all of the messages third paries are sending me.
    How do I solve this so his iPhone and iPad don't get messages that have been texted to me, and so that my iPhone does get the texts others send to me?

    You have set up iMessage with the same e-mail address on multiple devices.
    Don't do that.

  • Bonjour + Fast User switching = messages going to the wrong (inactive) user

    We use iChat for Bonjour in our office– fast file transfers etc.
    If a user is one of 2 or more logged in on a machine– through the use of fast user switching, we've noticed that incoming messages (initiated by another user on the network) will often go to the switched user (i.e. the inactive user) not the user we're currently logged in as.
    We've been able to repeat the issue.
    1. Log in as user 1, fast user switch to user 2 (leaving user 1 logged in but inactive)
    2. Go to new machine, log in as user 3
    3. Send message from user 3 to user 2
    4. Look at user 2 screen. No messages
    5. Send message from user 2 to user 3. User 3 will receive message, and will be able to send message successfully back to user 2.
    6. Log out use 2
    7. Log in as user 1
    8. Notice all the messages that were going to the 'inactive' user profile.
    Has anyone else seen this type of behavior?

    HI MAtthew,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
    I have not seen this (I only have one Mac).
    However there is an item in IChat Preferences > General section that can set the staus of the Users account to Offline or Away when using Fast User Switching.
    What is yur set to and does it make any difference when changing it ?
    Away in normal circumstance menas someone can still Invite you to chats (or Text you)

  • Test messages going to the wrong contact

    Every now and then, I will send a text message to a friend, and somehow, the message and the following conversation, seems to be copied to my wifes phone.
    An interesting scenario!! Also makes me wander who else might be aware of my sms conversations!!!
    I cant put my finger on when the issue first started, it does seem to have started fairly recenlty though. At first i thought i must have done something wrong...but now i am sure there is some sort of anomaly here.
    I have done an iphone reset (ie..hold power and home buttons down for 10 seconds). That did not seem to resolve.
    My friends is using an iphone 3GS (not sure of iOS version) and my wife and i are both on iphone 4 with 5.1.1. My wife's and my phone are managed by the same itunes account / pc (not sure if there is some sort of confusion between phs somehow?)
    Any ideas on how to address this?
    Thanks

    Your Messages app uses 2 different paths to reach recipient. Either through Apple server (iMessage) or Cell carrier (SMS).

  • Messages going to the wrong Integration Server

    Hello All,
       We saw a problem with few messages on the production XI server for a brief period of time. the following is the scenario.
    1) An ORDERS05 IDoc comes out of the ECC, gets correlated and was sent out to conversion Agent for translation and was sent out to the vendor.
    2) We get the response 997 from the vendor to the file port. This message has been picked up by the file adapter, got translated and was sent out to the XI Integration engine on the development box.
    I could see this message on the RWB under the Adapter Engine component. This message did not reach the Integration engine on the Production box. A close look at the message details tells me that the message was sent to the Integration engine on the Development box.  This happened to a few messages with in a minute time frame. All the messages before and after the minute time frame made just fine to the XI integration server.
    We checked the SLD and found no reference of Production box pointing to the development XI IS.
    I appreciate any pointers in this regard.
    Thanks.

    Hi Balu,
    this could happen if your XI DEV system has a file adapter containing the same source directory where your response from vendor is coming for production.....this file adapter will be active....so it is pickng your response and triggering it to XI DEV before XI prod can pick it up.........it is also possibel that your XI PRD system file adapter is currently deactive or has some error in it now.......So just check the file adapters of XI DEV and XI PRD for your this scenario......
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • How to send a text message to a group of people and save the list for next time?

    how to send a text message to a group of people and save the list for next time from an iphone 4s?

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • I ha ve downloaded 2 books now that have the text garbled or on the wrong page.

          I have downloaded 2 books from iBooks store that when viewed in iBooks on the iPad have the text garbled or on the wrong page.

    Powerbooks have heat sensors that control the fan. The fan can run and not be heard unless the speed increases. If the powerbook thinks it's getting to hot it can start going into a shutdown mode.Thats a safety feature. Now if the sensor is reading heat wrong you might need to  reset you PMU- power management control. since I don't know what model powerbook you have, I need to refer you to the apple article on it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431

  • I have had text messaging issues. The messages disappear or never show up

    I have had my Samsung ATIV SE for over six months now and have had it replaced to resolve a text messaging issue but the problem still exists and no one has been able to help me. Text messages randomly disappear. I just had a two week block of messages disappear for no apparent reason. I need a resolution and not sure where to turn. I was sent to Samsung and Microsoft and no one has been able to help me!!

        tomcat1015,
    It doesn't have to be any one in particular. I suggest going into the app store and doing a quick search for SMS. Pick one that seems reasonable to you. Our main interest is seeing if this has something to do with your line of service in general  or if we can narrow it down to the phone/app.

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • When upgrading iPhones will your text messages move to the new iPhone?

    When upgrading iPhones will your text messages move to the new iPhone?

    I might have omitted another requirement - sorry.
    You need the same number, and you have it. I think it also has to be with the same cellular carrier.
