When I send a text message to a radio station for "text to win" contests I get a Failed result. It is a 5 digit number they use for all wireless communication.
I like to text into my favorite radio stations for contests and requests but after having my Galaxy S5 for a couple days the messages started coming back as Failed ... ?

When I send a text to my wife i get her reply under another name. How do I fix this?
Since I got my iPhone 4S when I text my wife her replies come under my old hotmail address name. Very strange indeed. I have tried deleting her as a contact and then renaming her but still the same. The old hotmail address isn't even listed as one of my contacts so I'm puzzled as to how this is possible.
Any ideas?Thank you very much Razmee. Didn't expect such a quick reply. That worked perfectly

I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4. I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones. When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa. How can I fix this?
"Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage. You will need to create a separate id for you wife. OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered. Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time? I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.
Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.
I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
Any ideas??? Thanks in advance. -
When I send a text message to my husbands iPhone he does not get it
When I send a text to my husbands iPhone he does not get it. It worked before the new update.
Either one of you needs to uncheck the other's phone number under settings<messages<send & receive or one of you needs to sign out of the apple ID in iMessage settings altogether by pressing the apple id on the page and choosing 'sign out'

When I send a text message it says delivery failed. When I resend it sends the message twice. Why am I having trouble?
Oh goodness! We want your text going through the first time, dria56. Does this happen when you're messaging someone in particular or is it every message you send? Is it a plain text or a message with more than 160 characters/graphics/pictures?

When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?
When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?
You are both signed ointo iMessage with the same APple ID. It is always best practice to use separate APple IDs for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.
If you choose to use the same Apple ID, check your Send & Recieve settings:
Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > Make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone (in both the You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and Start New Conversations From sections) and yours is not check on his phone. -

When I send a text message the receiving party does not know who it came from?
When I send a text message to someone they keep asking me who sent this message? Please explain what I need to change.
I am not sure what you mean.
Do you mean the From field?
You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
You can set a default account here:
Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account. -

On both devices when you go to settings>messages>send and recieve how are poeple contacting you on each device?. e.g. email or mobile number.

When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.
When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.
