http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-DROID-2-by-Motorola/Droid-Bionic-text-messages-going-to-wrong-people/td-p/733318

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!!

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.

Text messages going to wrong device

I have my iPad and iPhone under the same Apple ID. Since upgrading to IOS6, my text messages have started going to my iPad instead of my phone. How do I fix this?

Text messages going to wrong person

This issue has been reported for quite a while and is still occurring yet I do not see that Verizon is acknowledging it. I have also seen where it might actually be an Android O/S issue but it still needs to be addressed by Verizon.
My personal experience is that at random a reply to a message on a current string will go the person whom I had a prior message string, which I might add had been deleted. It happened only an hour ago so I know the issue has not been solved.
Other than being embarrassing it could also open significant liability to myself as well as Verizon. I use my phone for business and I could easily lose customers and business deals through this problem as well as potential legal suits if confidential information ended up with competitors of my clients through this flaw..
Is a law suite required to have this issue acknowledged and fixed?

Yes I think it will take a lawsuit which will probably come pretty soon since this is a HUGE privacy issue.

The ability to see and send calendar invites is a function of the calendar you are subscribing to and who owns it. We need more information, like what calendar are you subscribing to? MS Exchange? Google? Mobile Me?

Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!! How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone. If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!! And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

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.

Texts going to wrong people

Does Verizon ever act on these blog messages? I called Verizon yesterday to report that my texts are going to the wrong people. They said that had never happened and referred me to tech support who could not figure it out. No solution provided. I use texts for personal and business. This is an extreme compromise with privacy laws and personal privacy as well. What can be done?

A rep may reply but for real tech support you are better off going through Verizon directly. Have you tried doing an Internet search on your issue to see if others are experiencing it and have any solutions? It is an odd thing so I'm not aware of it being a normal bug with Verizon in general. You may have a hardware issue with your phone where it's not recognizing the correct numbers you are texting. Does this occur if you manually input the phone number you're texting versus texting a number in your address book? Have you gone through your contacts and made sure the numbers are still correct in there? If someone texts you first and you reply do they receive the reply or is it still going to the wrong number?

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.

HT4623 I recently switched from an original ipad to the ipad air. Now when people text me, the messages go to my cell phone and to the new ipad. I don't want my text messages going to both devices. How can I change this?

Is there a way to stop receiving my text messages on both of my devices? I have an ipad air and an iphone. People text my phone number and it goes to my phone and the ipad, but this only started happening when I upgraded from the original ipad to the ipad air.

If you do not want the text messages to go to the iPad (that is what I assume from your post) go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your iPhone number in there. Do this on the iPad.
You can always just turn messages off as well in Settings>Messages>iMessage>Off.

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

Incoming Text Messages Allocated to Wrong Contact

I recently recieved my Zed10 back from warranty repair for an out of the box malfunctioning headphone port and am now experiencing an issues a thousand times more frustrating. The phone is now having issues when I recieved a text message in which it will assign it to the wrong contact. I've checked the contact information, there's no duplicated numbers, the number the text is coming from is only assigned to one contact, yet thru one SMS conversation, it may appear that I am talking with 3 different individuals, which is very confusing. Before I sent my Zed10 in I did a full backup, then security wipe. I received my exact same device back from warranty, updated to the latest OS, did a restore of my backup, and now this. I went thru and deleted all the SMS history, which seemed to resolve the problem, but after about an hour it has started again. Some of the numbers it is now showing as incoming texts are not even numbers of my contacts, yet I can keep the conversation going by replying to the actual contact on my phone (if I reply to the number that it's telling me the text came from, the person on the other end has no information of any text). Has anyone experienced this? Since we don't really have contact backup options in Link like we did in DM my next "fix" attempt will be to move my contacts to my SIM card and wipe the device... again. Very glad to have my BB10 back after 2 weeks on a Curve 9300, but this is VERY frustrating.
If anyone has had anything like this happen, please help. Thanks everyone.

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.

Messages going to wrong person

When I send a message to a person, it goes to them another person that I did not intend?
Then when either person replies to me it goes to the 3 of us.
The person I am sending to is on AT&T I am on verizon.
Is anyone else having a similar problem?
When I use text free all is fine, iMessages is the problem.
Thank you

This just started happening to me too. Me, my wife and daughter all share an apple id but have different iCloud accounts. This week we were all prompted with messages on the phone regarding messaging and FaceTime and associating the other phone numbers and emails. I said no, they just clicked ok. Now anyone who sends me a text, it also goes to my wife and daughters phones. I went into settings-messaging-send and receive on their phones and saw all numbers and emails checked. Unchecked those and it stopped. Until today when it happened again and they're all checked again. Agggghhhjh! My friends don't all have the cleanest mouths, this is not the best thing apple has done. I'm guessing we may all have to get our own apple Ids but then that screws up app and music sharing. Maybe this is what is happening to you or whoever you texted, perhaps they share an apple id.

Messages going to wrong device

All of my messages are going to my wife's phone and vice versa

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.
