  • Text messages being receive twice by some recipients

    Text messages being receive twice by some recipients:
    I have had a couple of contacts tell me they are receiving text messages I send from the Z10 twice.
    Not everyone thou. I've asked. I'm sending from Rogers to a Rogers user. They both have 9700's.
    Any ideas?

    Just to be clear, while you have to use an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime, you should not be using that e-mail address to receive at or send from since you're using your father's ID.  Later in your post it sounds like you de-selected e-mail addresses that were not yours, which is correct, but I wanted to make sure you understand that you should not be using this ID for a contact point since it is not yours.
    If your father is still getting your text messages from your friends, I suspect that either:
    (a) after making these changes you need to turn iMessage and FaceTime off for a brief period, then turn back on, or
    (b) your friends are replying to older messages that you sent from your father's Apple ID, or
    (c) your father's iPhone somehow has your e-mail entered as one of the possible contact points for his iPhone.
    If the cause is (a) turn iMessage and FaceTime back on since you've already turned them off.
    If the cause is (b) see the last paragraph of my 1st post.  Send your friends a new iMessage and tell them to only reply to that conversation and delete prior conversations.
    If the cause is (b) have your father de-select (or remove) your e-mail address from his iMessage and FaceTime settings.

  • Why are text messages being received as gmail addresses?

    In the last week, I began receiving text messages from my friends that are being sent from their "gmail" address.  Therefore, it seems to replace the other contact that I had in the phone.  Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you

    This has worked for many to solve this problem:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Open the Message App to see if they're fixed.

  • Why are some of my iMessage text messages being received sporadically by my father

    I've searched high and low, but couldn't find any information regarding this particular issue, so if you know of a link in the discussions please show me.  Today my father received 2 texts from 2 seperate numbers by friends of mine.  This is troubling, and isn't the first time.  I am using an iPhone 4 fully updated to 7.0.4. I recently noticed that I was no longer sending messages as an iMessage (blue text color) so I investigated the issue within the settings function and didn't really see any differences there with the exception of the Apple ID.  I've always used my father's Apple ID and only once has this happened, the only difference was that I was receiving his messages from people in his contacts.  It is also important to mention that my carrier is Verizon and that we are on a family shared account with 4 members.  I don't think that any of the other members have ever received any of my texts, but then again I don't know if they are using just one Apple ID (I think they have there own personal IDs).  So it comes to this, do I need my own personal Apple ID?  If that is the case why do they offer the option of selecting what numbers or email addresses to choose to have my texts sent to?  Also in order for me to open an Apple ID I must be the owner of a credit card which I do not use nor do I have, not even a debit/credit card.  Anyway, that's it.  I don't need my personal life spilled into my father's life, we all have enough problems of our own!   Ciao and thanks for any and all help.

  • TS3672 Why are my text messages being received as emails?

    Why are my daughter receiving my text messages as emails but everyone else receives them as text messages?

    Why are you repeating the question?
    You are signed in with the same Apple ID.
    Sign out of one of the devices.

  • IPhone "sent" text not being received by ONE particular phone

    My AT&T iPhone 4 is sending and receiving all text messages from all phones and carriers.
    My friend's Spring LG Rumor recently stopped receiving ONLY my text messages although my phone marks them as sent (no red exclamation point, etc). The Rumor is sending and receiving all text messages from all other phones and carriers, including another different AT&T iPhone.
    So, I can get the Rumor's texts, but it specifically can't get mine.
    Any thoughts or ideas? I have already reset all settings on my iPhone to no avail.
    Thanks!

    Transmission of texts is handled by the carrier.  If the texts left your phone and arrived at other phones, it can't be an iPhone issue.  The only possibility relating to your phone is sending to a wrong cell number.

  • Duplicate text messages being sent

    When I send a text messgae form my iphone 4 it is also going to my wife's phone how can I stop this?

    When you go to Messages > New message a list of all possible contacts from the same person appears, in blue when supporting iMessages, green for texts and grey to non available phones/mails.
    Make sure you select the correct one when creating a new message.

    Ever sice the latest update I've been receiving at least 3 duplicates of every text that gets sent to me. Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas on how to make it stop?
    It's actually been going on since well before the update. I have friends with other phones who have the same thing happen to them. One actually has a 'pre-smartphone' phone and they get multiples all the time. The problem is with some setting within Verizons network, which apparently they don't feel is that big of a deal. Only thing I've heard is to contact Verizon and tell them and they supposedly do someting to correct it for that user, but that's about it

  • Duplicate Text Messages

    Hello,
    I currently a droid x running android 2.3.3 in the Royersford, PA area.  I updated to Android 2.3.3   2-3 weeks ago.  After this update I started receiving a noticeable amount of duplicate text messages.  The duplicates can number anywhere from 2 to 11 and are received over a ten minute period.  As I am sure you can imagine this is extremely frustrating.  It is also not restricted to one contact.  I have received duplicate texts from 4 different carriers and the majority of types of phones available ranging from iphones to android to non-smartphones.
    In an attempt to resolve the issue I visited my local verizon store and after spending about 20 minutes of being asked over and over if i had tried taking the battery out (which I had) I was finally told to perform a factory reset on my phone.  I did and after 2.5 hours of redownloading all my apps (apparently they haddn't backed up to google's servers yet) I started receiving duplicate messages again (it actually started before I redownloaded all my apps).  I returned to the verizon store in the next few days only to be told that since they could not get the problem to replicate itself in store (this after waiting for 45 minutes for the clerk to go around the store and use every display phone to text my phone) there was nothing they could do to help me, even though I still had duplicate messages in my inbox.  
    After waiting about a week I grew frustrated enough to try again and they agreed to give me a new phone (which I currently have).  I didn't receive a duplicate for about 2 days and then it started again and has gotten progressively worse ever since.  I even tried switching from the stock messaging app to handcent but it did not help (and yes I disabled the default messaging app).
    Is anyone out there capable of fixing this issue?  Is it an android problem, a droid x problem, or a verizon problem?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    A few more bits of information.  My mom also has the droid x running 2.3.3 and has recently started experiencing the same problem but not to the extent that I do.  My brother has a htc incredible running something other than 2.3.3 (I'm not sure what) and experiences the same problem as myself (this leads me to believe it is either an android problem or verizon but since it is on two different versions of android I am leaning towards verizon).
    Thanks for any help anyone can give, and if there is already a topic about this I apologize, I could not find it anywhere on this site.

  • Duplicate Text Messages - Pantech Crux

    Hello, I began receiving duplicate text messages once I upgraded to a Pantech Crux.  The duplicates are not labeled *duplicate message* like others, rather they are just received about 30 seconds after the original.
    This happens regardless of sender but does not always happen.  It will also happen regardless of whether or not I read the first message before the duplicate arrives.
    Is there any solution to this?  Will I be charged for all the duplicates?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Are you still receiving duplicate txt msgs? I've been having the same issue since May and I keep getting the run around. My husband and I have the same phones and first they told me they had to do a "network" update that was supposed to take place on June 27. I've still been receiving them. I called again last friday and the gentleman from tech support told me to do a device software update on my phone. I did that and I'm still getting double txts! Very frustrating!!! I've called around 7-8 times! Not getting anywhere with my problem! During the month of July I had gone over my txt limit and the lady I talked to gave me a higher text package and wasn't going to charge me the difference. But when she did that she canceled my text messaging package and I got billed $180 for text messaging! Not very happy with Verizon right now! We are debating if we should cancel our service thru them and go to another company!
    jmm823,
    I definitely understand your frustrations and would like to assist with correcting this for you!  Our Product Development Team is aware of the issue and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix.  In the meantime, I would be happy to review your account and correct the text package and billing for you.  We definitely do not want you to have to consider leaving Verizon Wireless!  I will send you a message, and you can reply with the requested information.
    Thank you again for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

  • I just purchased 2 ipod touch for my kidz.  and registered them both with my email.  I didn't know every text message I receive, they too would get on their IPod Touch.  HOw do I change this? And do I need to contact a Representative to add them

    i just purchased 2 ipod touch for my kidz (9 & 10 yr. old) .  and registered them both with my email.  I didn't know every text message I receive, they too would get on their IPod Touch.  HOw do I change this? And do I need to contact a Representative to add their own emails....?

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • Sending duplicate text messages

    My phone is sending duplicate text messages whenever I send to my contacts.  How do I stop this?
    I've noticed this on my RAZR Maxx and now my HTC One M8. 

        Mclindy,
    Lets stop the maddness so your friends only get signal messages when you send them. I know you moved from the Maxx to the M8. Did this start right away with the M8 or did it take a little bit of time? Do you use the native Messaging app that came with the phone or one that was downloaded from the Play Store?

  • Getting duplicate text messages, each message twice

    getting duplicate text messages, each message twice
    changed simms and #s on the phone now every text message comes twice at the same time?

    I would call your carrier and talk to them about this.

  • Duplicate text messages Handcent msgs

    I downloaded the handcent application and it sends out duplicate text messages.   People have gotten the same message from me anywheres from 2-5 times.  Not everytime, but still annoying is there a way to fix this problem.  It has gotten worse just recently

    When you download a new messaging application on the phone you would want to make sure that the old messaging application is closed. The default messaging application is probably running in the back ground causing duplicate messages.
    Lets try 3 things to correct this issue:
    First you would want to disable the default messaging application.
    From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
    Touch Settings.
    Touch Applications.
    Touch Running services.
    Touch a service (select the default messaging application).
    Choose the default messaging application.Touch Stop.
    Second could I get you to do a soft reset on the device.
    Soft Reset
    Press the Power key.
    Touch Power off.
    Touch OK.
    Press the Power key to power on the device.
    Third:
    Could I get you to dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.
    From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).
    Touch Settings.
    Touch Applications.
    Touch Running services.
    Then re-check your applications, making sure the default messaging application is not running.
