Why are my messages getting sent to two different phone numbers?

My mom and I use the same Apple account for our iPhones and when we updated our phones for iOS 6, all of the text messages that I've been receiving have been sent to her iPhone as well.

Tjmoo, did you find out the answer to your question?  If so, will you share?  I am having an issue where some of my messages to iPhone users go through as iMessages while others go through as text messages.  I am not sure why this is because the people I am sending them to have iPhones.
Thanks!

  • Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

    Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

    Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
    When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

  • I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

    I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why are my messages getting deleted?

    My older text messages from one contact keep getting deleted. How do I stop this and why is it happening?
    I know for a fact there are many messages before where the conversation appears to begin on my phone.

    If your posts are being deleted, it is because they are in violation of the Terms of Use (https://discussions.apple.com/___sbsstatic___/apple/tutorial/tou.html), which you agreed to when you signed up here, even if you didn't take the time to read them.

  • Why are some messages pushing to mac and not phone?

    I am very frustrated, as, I have had occational times where a text bypasses my phone and goes to my macbook. My wife will use the laptop frequently and it happens sometimes when she is on the computer.   It will somtimes send a text the computer even if somone is not using it, though.  How do I get the system to send the message to both devices, or, to simply stop all texts from going to the computer?  thx

    Log out of iMessage on your Mac, and the messages will be forced to only go to your phone.   If your phone has no signal at time the message was sent to you, that could explain why Mac is getting but not your phone.
    I'd first try to logout of iMessage on both devices, then reactivate first on your phone, then your Mac.   See if problem fixes itself.

    my saved iPhone contacts are now displayed as phone numbers. I've added again as new contacts. After awhile, they revert back to phone numbers. What's wrong? It's happened several times today.

  • Two iphones, two different phone numbers, same apple id, will imessages work?

    I have two different iphones on a family plan with verizon, phones A and B.  Each is associated with a uniqie Apple id, lets call those apple IDs C and D.  So Phone A has apple id C, Phone B has apple id D.  I'd like to register both phones to Apple ID C for in imessages, although the phone numbers themselves will continue to separately be registered to Apple ID C and D.  Once i do that, presumably all imessages sent to same apple id C's email address will appear on phones A and B.  But will imessages sent to phone B's phone number also appear on phone A, or will those only appear on Phone B?
    Many thanks.

    Yuu can also
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • Why are my texts getting sent back to me and turned into group messages?

    I had an ongoing conversation with someone. There weren't any problems. I sent myself a picture from my laptop to myself in iMessage. When I looked at my phone, it displayed 3 different conversations with my name as the name. I noticed that the last thing I had said to the other person was the message preview for one of my names so it was as if somehow my conversation replaced his. I clicked it open and it appeared to be blank so I deleted it.
    I went to send him a text from the new message thing, but when i would send a text to his phone number, it would automatically be sent to me instead and open my name's conversation again.
    When I looked at the conversation with him on my laptop in iMessage, the history was all still there, so I tried to send him a message from my laptop and it would display that the message was not sent. Except though it didn't send to him, it did send back to myself again. This time even using his ringtone that I have only for him. I restarted my phone to see if this would fix the problem. When I turned my phone on, it was back to normal with his conversation and all of its history, but when i tried to send him a text again, it turned the conversation into a group message with him, and myself? I'm very confused and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone help with this problem? I tried searching the internet for people with similar problems and couldn't find anything. :I
    Thank you.

    If you're exchanging texts with someone who has a basic phone, messages they send to you will be broken up into blocks no larger than 160 characters. They wil also receive your messages broken up in the blocks not larger than 160 characters.

  • Two Different Phone Numbers

    It's not a serious problem but,
    When I phone someone my number ends in 5913 on their handset, but to phone me you have to dial 5914, 5914 is ment to be my actual number but when people try to phone me back on 5913 and the number isn't recognised...
    Solved!

    Hi
    Do you have a home hub with BT Broadband Talk, as it could be the case that you have a another phone number allocated to your hub phone.
    Do you have a phone plugged into a ADSL filter which in turn is plugged into a phone socket or does your phone plug into the rear of your homehub.
    Sorry for so many questions.

  • 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

  • Not all text messages get sent from Droidx or Droidx2

    My family has stock Droid x and Droid x2s. We are using the Text App that comes with the phones. Both phones have this same problem.
    Sporadically, text messages do not get sent.  They remain hung up, showing the green 'sending' arrow. None of the message goes out.
    I have been able to identify the problem, but not reason, in one instance.
    This message will not send. (dashes not included)
    Page one
    Jjhhbhhhvcfxdffggcccffg
    gggvccffffffgggffgggggfffff
    fggfffffffgggfffffffffffggggt
    ggggggggggggttttttgtyyyy
    ygyytyyyyyyyyyyttttttttt
    tytttyyy
    yyyyyyyt
    Start page two¿
    It appears that text in a message is broken up into 145 character chunks (probably for SMS limits).
    Notation on my text app shows pages and characters left.( e.g. 145/1 for 145 characters
    left, page 1 or 83/2 for 83 characters left on page 2)
    1. I'm not sure that sending text from my phone via email did not add/subtract characters.
    2. The 'P" in page one is the first character.
    3. The 'S' in Start page two is the beginning of page 2
    4. The '¿'  (an upside down question mark) at the very end of the text message is the problem.
    If I replace it with any standard keyboard characters, the message gets sent.
    If this  is located anywhere on the second page, the text won't send. Anywhere on the first
    page, it sends OK.
    The fact that this character (Hex 'bf', for those that care) can be sent on the first page smells
    like a bug.
    Thanks for listening to a blithering idiot!!

    Thanks for your response!
    To answer your questions:
    No, yes, yes, no  . . . Just kidding!
    Anyway, I had never used a third party app.  I just downloaded Handcent SMS
    texting app.  It exhibited the same issue that the default app does.
    The way the message behaves I'm sure it doesn't even get to the point of
    trying to send the message. The sending arrow on the message stays with the
    message forever, or till I delete it, and the  Handcent app shows its'
    "sending" spinning gear on these messages forever.  Other successful
    messages don't show these icons after the message is sent.
    If I send a 'normal' message, the green arrow hangs around for a while and
    then disappears once the message is sent.
    I have tried to send this message to a friend who has an iphone and is on a
    different carrier. It behaves the same, and does not leave my phone.
    I have sent this message to myself from my wife's Droid X2 with the same
    symptoms.
    The failing text I sent you before was what I used to trouble shoot the
    problem ( to narrow down the 'offending' character). Below is a copy of the
    original message that fails. If you could cut and paste this into phones you
    folks have, you could try to send it yourself!  Note the "¿"  around the OK.

    ======Message end
    I was able to copy the message above, paste it to my desktop as a text file,
    open it from my phone and copy the text, then send it in a text message.  It
    didn't send.  when I remove the upsidedown question mark, it sends OK
    Thanks for listening.

    P.S.  My email joat is part of JOAT MON (jack of all trades, master of none)
