Text messages showing as number@vtext, can't make it stop

I posted this in the Android section but realized that may not be the right place.
Day 1
My phone was messed up earlier today so I was sending text messages to my daughter from the verizon website. Now that I have my phone sorted out text messages from her show up as [email protected] We are sending text messages hand set to hand set, not using the web anymore. It is so annoying, not only that but it actually duplicates the messages. The body shows up with (message) message. My replies to her show as both my regular contact and vtext.com, alternating not at the same time. I want it back to normal. Does anyone have any ideas?
Day 2
Ugh, if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. This is so irritating. I went through my phone and my daughters, deleted all of our messages to each other, deleted each other as contacts. Cleared the cache in our phones. Re-added each of us as contacts and it is still doing it! So instead of messages from her showing up with her name they show with [email protected] and it duplicates the body of the message. If she says 'do you want to go to lunch' it shows up as (do you want to go to lunch) do you want to go to lunch. It is so annoying. This continues to happen even after we start new messages to each other, being sure that we select our mobile numbers. We are not entering the vtext anywhere. Someone help me make it stop! This is not happening with any other contacts, only her.
Thanks for any help.

Laura,
Make sure you have deleted all contact information from BOTH phones, and all messages from each other on BOTH PHONES. Then restart the phones. It's important that there are no remaining messages or contact information when you try to start anew.
THEN, send a text to each other using only the manually entered phone number. If that is successful (it comes from the phone number), then add the phone number and contact information from the message.
It seems it's still seeing the vtext messaging somehow, so it's critical that information is GONE and you are starting totally new with the phone number only.
HTH,

These are iMessages only.
He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at.

In my iPhone 4 interface (running OS 7.0.4), a red number used to appear, to indicate a new text message. That number hasn't appeared for a few weeks. I can't seem to find a way to turn it back on using the Settings. Is this a bug?

A red number used to appear in my interface when I receive new text messages. That number no longer appears. Scouring the Settings to turn it back on hasn't been successful. Is this a new bug? How can I get the red number to appear again?

Quit, then relaunch the App.
Restart the device.
Reset the device.
Reset all settings of the device.

I have lost all text messages from one number, is there a way I can retrieve. I have an iphone4

I have lost all of my text messages from one number, is there a way to retrieve?

Possibly. See the Manually Migrating section of Switch 101: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac.
The files already transferred are in a new user account created by Migration Asisstant. Log off; when you go to log back on, you should be prompted to enter a password for the new account. Then you should be able to manually move whatever didn't get copied.

Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

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

Create a new AppleID on a different iOS device or on a computer. You will
then be able to use that newly created AppleID on your iPhone.

How to forward a text message came to me to another contact? There is no facility to store the text messages in different folds, as can be done in other smart phones.

How a text message came to me can be forwarded to another contact? Is there any facility in iPhone 4 to store the text messages in different folders as can be done in other smartphones?

YOu hold down on the text message until you see copy/more - select more - you'll see the options.

IOS 5.0.1 messages show phone number instead of names

after the iOS 5.0.1 update, all my incoming and outgoing messages show phone number instead of names even though i have them in my contacts.
i tried deleting previous messages, and restarting a new outoging msg to a specific number but when i start a new msg, after i add the contact, and i send it, it'll show the number instead of the person from my contact.
anyone else having this issue and any possible solutions?
also the number show up as +1 (951) XXX - XXXX
+1 (area code) then the number.... instead of the name of the person in my contact.

i went to the apple store and the tech told me the following:
make sure you backup your photos, contacts, etc.
the problem she said is due to a corrupt file for some iphones4s.
1) sync your iphone with itunes
2) do a restore and restore with a "new phone" instead of from backup
3) your phone will be reset, but you'll have all your apps.
after doing all this, your contacts and message should sync up.
hope this helps.

I deleted a text message from a number I forgot to save. Is there a way to find this message again ?

The only way would be to restore the phone from a backup made by syncing the phone while this message was still on it. Note: this would revert all data and settings to those in the backup, not just messages.

How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.

Reset your phone by holding down the home button with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. Try it again.

That's weird that these iphones are restored/activated through iTunes. I have a Apple so I have iTunes, yay!! I am guessing that the link that you gave me will tell how to put this iphone into Recovery mode? Now, this old iphone would of been activated on his laptop, which is with him and he is out of state. I have a new Apple, his new iphone would of been activated on our new Apple computer because he was here for Christmas and he didn't bring his laptop with him, or did he bring it with him, I don't remember now.... Now the question is, will I be able to restore his old iphone on my new computer seeing it would of activated on his laptop which is with him out of state. I am so worried that I am going to lock up this phone now. I thought I deleted the orginal guestion, and rewrote it, good grief, lol Oh wow, you are a level 10, I would be at a level -10!

If you have iCloud mail using IMAP then your messages are on the mail server. If you have a POP account then they are on your computer. All of Mail's data are stored in the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder.
However, you provided almost no information about your problem. I don't really know if by "restore mail" you mean the Mail application in your Applications folder or if you mean something else. I don't even know if your email ISP is iCloud.com or somebody else.
