Text showing up on another person's phone

What causes text messages to show up on another person's phone? If you change wireless accounts, would this get rid of the problem or is it the apple id? If it is an apple id, is there a way to create a new apple id, but keep (or move over) all of the music and apps that you've downloaded?

A text will show up on multiple iPhones if it is being sent to an ID that is defined as a common receive address in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. This is probably an email address. To solve the problem delete that ID on one or both of the devices.

IF that is the only iDevice activated for that recipient, then no. It should not successfully send as an iMessage if the phone is powered off or has no data connection. If you have Send as SMS turned on, it should automatically fallback to SMS after a few minutes. Of course, they won't get this until they power on their phone, assuming they have a text messaging plan with their carrier.

If I have iMessage on my phone and text to another person's phone, does my message go to our family iPad for anyone's viewing?

If I have imessaging turned on my iphone, if I text someone else through their phone number, does my texting conversation go also to our ipad where my kids can read my texts that I send and receive on my phone? We only have one apple id account. do all my texts go to the ipad if we have only one apple ID account between our phones and our ipad?

Yes, they can. You probably want to consider getting a second Apple ID for your personal use for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud on your phone. You can continue to use the shared Apple ID for iTunes/App Store.

When I text one person, It goes to another person...however, the name that I'm trying to text shows the number i'm trying to text. Also, my texts are sent through my email...why?

When I text one person, It goes to another person...however, the name that I'm trying to text shows the number i'm trying to text. Also, my texts are sent through my email...why? The text preview shows up as the person I did NOT want to text, but when I open it, it shows the person I DID want to text.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

Check your profile settings and goto menu-> tools-> settings-> general-> pesonalisation-> home screen-> mode settings-> home screen applications-> e-mail 1 and 2.

I was sitting here and my phone randomly said incoming call from my friend that is an iphone user. I answered it and nothing was there. He texted me the screen shot on his phone that said I called him, but it showed on my phone as an incoming call. Why?

I have two iphone 5 when I text from one to the other the text shows up on both phones How do I stop this

I have two I phone 5's( one is my girlfriends). We shared one apple ID. When I updated one of the phones to 7.1 I started recieving her text and she is receiving mine. Also when I text here it shows up on my phone as a text to myself and also on her phone. I tried to create a seperate apple id for her phone to resolve the issue but that hasnt helped. Any suggestions would be appriciated

My wife and daughter had the same problem. Make sure the Send/Receive setting under Messages in the General section of Settings has the correct, and ONLY 1, apple id. Good Luck.

You each need to have separate Apple IDs and separate user accounts. Better yet, separate computers as well.

HT1386 How do I unsync my phone from another person's account?

How do I unsync my phone from another person's account? Another family member's phone was synced into the computer. As I tried to sync my phone it automatically synced into the account of the other phone. How do I sync my phone under my name so I can sync what is on my phone?

Create another user profile on the computer so that you can log in as yourself and have your own copy of iTunes.

My phone and number is on another persons account. If I start my own account, can I transfer the phone and number to it? If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?

My phone and phone number are on another persons account. If I open my own account with Verizon, can I transfer the phone and number to it? What steps do I need to take to accomplish this?

I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

Did you change your sim card? I had this same problem because I moved countries and had to add a 1 before the number and area code.

My iCloud on my phone is undJer another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).
Also sign out from iMessages, FaceTime and Home sharing (Settings>Music)
