Using imessage - 2 people receiving text when sent to 1 person

my girlfriend and her daughter are on the same plan. i am on my own.  when both have their imessage turned on, i can text my gf and her daughter also gets my text and can reply.  any text that any of the 3 of us send, we all can see in the same thread.  how do we sop this from happening while leaving imessage turned on on all 3 phones?  this doesnt seem to happen with any other iphone/imessage users, only me

You do not have to use multiple AppleIDs at all.  You can use one for everything if you wish to.  However, if two people use the same AppleID it can get messy - as in two people using the same AppleID to register for iMessage service.  Now they both also share the exact same iMessage account so will both get all messages going through that account.
But for one person not sharing devices, or not sharing purchased content, one AppleID is sufficient for everything.
Some people may still prefer to have at least two - one for actually purchasing things in the App and iTunes stores (so it has payment info linked to it) and another for iMessage and iCloud (one with no payment information associated with it).

    You are sending SMS messages. iMessages are blue. Go to Settings>>Messages>>iMessage ON.

    Can any one tell me how my husband and I can stop receiving text messages sent to him on my phone? His text messages to me are showing up under my number, like he is me?

    Go to settings, messages, send and recieve, scroll to where it says start new conversation from, and make sure you each have a different email address checked instead of the same email address.

        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!

  • Long story short, I'm logged on to my daughters iMessage. Will I receive text messages sent to her and texts she's sent out?

    Long story short, I'm logged on to my daughters iMessage on my sons old iPod because of personal reasons so I was just wondering, will I receive her text messages? And will I be able to read the text messages she sends out? I may sound like the bad guy here but, it's for her own good that I'm doing this.
    Thank you.

    When you associate a phone number with iMessage that is currently signed into an Apple ID it becomes tied to that Apple ID, so any other device that uses that Apple ID has access to that phone number for iMessage.
    eg. I use iMessage on my iPhone which uses the same Apple ID as my iPad, as such I receive iMessages sent to my iPhone on my iPad aswell, and can respond to the same conversation on either.

  • HT1689 some of my texts when sent turn blue and sat deleivered and others green and say delievered a txt message?

    Why do some text messages when sent to same user turn blue and say delievered and some turn green say sent as text message

    I fully disagree. The problem is not solved this way as indicated by jessikafrombrighton in response to stevejobsfan0124. In addition, if the wireless is down, the message IS NOT automatically sent as SMS. Many other posts mention this problem.

  • Any way to get imessages to show as texts when looking at my bill?  (and yes I know how to turn off imessages)

    I'd like imessages to show as texts on bill.

    As mentioned...the only way to do it would be to turn off iMessage. Otherwise, it isn't a SMS text that VZW can charge you for (or deduct from your texting plan) so it will not show on your bill. If you're wanting to do this in order to monitor someone else's iMessage usage I don't think there is a way to do so...iMessage isn't an option in the restrictions menu so I don't think you could even get your hands on the other device and put the restriction on it if you wanted to shut off the iMessage capability so they could only send text messages (if they had the code to change restrictions then that wouldn't work anyway because they could go back and change it). No idea if there is or ever will be a iMessage tracking app but that may be your only hope...

  • IMessage isn't receiving texts on both of my iOS devices.

    As of two or three weeks ago, texts won't appear on my iPad.  Before, they'd come across to both my iPhone and my iPad, but now, I only receive texts on my phone.  I made sure that my Apple ID is in both devices and that the Caller ID on my phone is set to my email address, but I still don't receive messages on my iPad.  Any ideas why?

  • I can't receive text messages from a specific person

    So my aunt has verizon. She has an iPhone. And I have the note 3.  Every time she texts me it says not delivered and I can't receive text messages from her. I don't have her blocked and this only happens between me and her. I can text all other contacts just fine. Please help.

  • IMessage doesn't receive messages when on airplane mode

    Okay so here's the issue I have here, I'm using an iPod touch 4G that's running on iOS 6.1.6. I like to put my iPod on airplane mode when I'm not using it, so it's always on airplane mode at night. Usually, until last week, all messages sent to me on iMessage while I was on airplane mode would be received when I took my iPod off of airplane mode so that I could read them and reply. Since last week, I've run into a problem where I only receive the latest 3-4 messages sent to me on iMessage and none of them from earlier.Or I receive no messages at all, only to find out later that I have received a lot from friends. I know that this has to do with putting my iPod on airplane mode, I have reset all my network settings but the issue is still present. I'm confused as to why this problem has just popped up because I have done this for a really long time and no issues came up until just a week ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Are you powering the iPod off (Slide to Power off)?
    Or are you letting the iPod sleep?
    When powered off it can't receive anything.
    If just asleep see:
    How do I make IOS 6 keep wifi on when iPod is sleeping?
    Also try when connect to another network

  • IMessage too slow sending text when it can't connect to iMessage

    When you send an iMessage it works instantly, however iMessage is suddenly not available on a device the iPhone will try to send that iMessage for around 6 minutes before eventually sending a text message. This is a ridiculous situation where now instead of getting instant messages you can potentially be waiting for over 10 minutes to send a standard text instead of an iMessage. Is anybody else getting this problem?

    Something I noticed just now and that is imessage is working a lot faster. Dare I say almost as fast as BBM (Blackberry Messenger)
    Not sure to the reason but there are two possibilities:
    1) My icloud and mobile me emails  were different on my phone, so I set up the icloud to be the same as mobile me userid
    2) The second thing was that I just updated my ios to 5.01 on the phone.
    Since I didn't try imessage after piont 1, I am not sure which one fixed it.
    Would be interested in knowing if anyone else has seen performance improvements on imessage after updateing to 5.01.
    Thanks
