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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • I can send, but I can't receive texts messages from just one person

    I can send,  but I can't receive texts messages from just one person.....thanks

        Hello railenemarie16, let's solve this mystery together! Have you tried deleting your contact from her device and then re-adding? Also, have her send you a message manually instead of from the saved contact. Did you have an iPhone previously before the Note 3 and used iMessage? Keep us posted!

  • I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

  • Need to copy text messages from a specific person to PC

    I am need to make a copy of text messages from a specific person that I currently have on my phone.  I am wanting to transfer them to my PC and print out copies from there.  How do I do this?  I installed Handsent and tried to retrieve them that way but was unable to.  Also tried SMS backup and restore from the Market.  I am anticipating needing these messages in court. 

    Try an sms backup application that sends to an email address.
    Also the xml file created by sms backup & restore should be readable by excel or Internet Explorer.

  • TS2755 I am not able to send text messages to one particular person.  Error comes back to enter a valid 10-digit phone number.

    I am not able to send text messages to one particular person.  Error comes back to enter a valid 10-digit phone number or short code.  I have deleted this contact and re-entered numerous times and still get the same error code.  Any ideas?

    Are you entering a 10 digit number? Or, if it is not a North American number or you are not in North America, are you entering "+" followed by the country code and number?

  • Trouble with text messages going to the wrong person

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.
