Why are my text messages coming through on 2 different devices?

I downloaded the ios7 last night. I noticed that my text messages were coming through to my iPhone 4S, AND to the old iPhone 3GS that I am using simply as an iPod. What can I do to stop this?

I have this same issue with mine and my husband's phone, but when I try to look at my settings, I can't see the Send & Receive addresses because it is grayed out, so is all settings for iCloud and FaceTime.  So anything associated with an Apple ID.  I am updating iTunes right now to see if I can fix my settings that way.  Any ideas?

  • Why are group text messages coming as downloads?

    Since I downloaded the newest droid softward my group messages which go out to iphone users are often coming back as a download.  The download often just keeps running or I have to go out of texting mode and go back in again to get the text.  This doesn't happen in individual texts to these people.  What can I do??

    If you text them a lot as a group, you should look into the GroupMe app. It's available for Android and iOS and can use either data or and SMS (so it can actually be used without the app). Basically, you post to the group and everybody gets it.

  • HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • Why are some text messages blue and some green

    Why are some text messages blue and some green?

    Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
    Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.

  • My husband and I have our iphones  and icloud set up. He is getting all my text messages coming through to his phone, how can i get this changed so it does not happen? does it have anything to do with icloud?

    My husband and i have our iphones set up. He is getting all my text messages that are coming through to my phone, how can i elminate this problem? Does it have anything to do with out icloud?

    Well, you use the different accounts such Phone Numbers, email addresses. And make sure that your iPhones have no receipient address in common, then you can avoid this issue.
    I use iMessage on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iPod touch.
    Each of them has a individual address to receive messages, so they won't combine all the messages among all the devices.
    Try this, if it doesn't work, tell me, I'll figure another way out.

  • Why are my text messages ignoring my iPhone and going only to my iPad both on iOS6?

    Prior to ios6 messages would sometimes go to both devices but if not my iphone would get them all. Now after i installed iOS6 is on both ipad3 and iphone 4s anyone messaging me from an iphone only goes to my ipad.  I missed two important texts this way.  Any ideas?

  • Why are my text messages being sent from my e-mail?

    Just recently  I reset the password to my apple ID and ever since it has been sending text messages through my e-mail. I will open my text messaging app but my friends are still telling my i am texting them through my email. I tried lookinng under my measaging settings and for my icloud it had my email selected and it would  not let me select my phone number.

    Hey Bgrossman,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID (email address) in your iMessage settings:

    To sign out of your Apple ID
    1. Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why are my text messages saving on my iPhone?

    When I swipe my screen to the left and the search is on the top, text messages from months ago and also recent ones are showing up. If I type in a certian word, all of the text messages that the word was mentioned in come up. When I try and click on any of the messages, it just brings me back to the last text I sent. Is this a virus? How can I stop my phone from doing this?

  • Why are my text messages not delivered from Verizon Customers to my new provider?

    I ported two numbers away from Verizon and now Verizon is apparently blocking text messages from Verizon customers to my new provider.
    I can get texts from AT&T, Sprint, TMobile, and anyone else. Unfortunately, I cannot get texts from Verizon customers.
    I have been right next to a friend with a Verizon android who texted to my non-Verizon android, and it never got through. My new provider says that this is not uncommon.
    I have been on with Verizon tech support, and while they are nice enough, they have not been able to fix anything.
    Verizon, please take responsibility to fix this!

        rowdyonez, thanks for helping us support Frustrated_Former_Verizon_Cust with information regarding how to resolve their text messaging issue. Let's make sure that this isn't a memory capacity issue. The first thing that we recommend is to delete all unwanted text messages and power the devices off/on to soft reset. Keep us posted. We can assist right here in this forum, too.

  • Why are 4s text messages sent as MMS?

    I don't have an iPhone 4S, however, more than one person has sent me text messages (only text, no pictures, video, or audio) using their 4S and they are always sent as multimedia (MMS) messages instead of SMS. It seems to happen when they compose a new text, but when they reply to one of my SMS messages, it replies as SMS.
    It's quite annoying, especially since I don't have a plan with unlimited messages and MMS cost me something like a quarter a piece... for something that does not have any multimedia content.
    So what's the deal? Is this an iPhone issue, or only an issue with specific carriers? I haven't asked which carriers my friends use, but I believe it's Verizon and/or AT&T. I don't believe it is an issue with pre- 4S iPhones.

    If the sender is sending out multiple SMS's at the same time, this could be the problem. Most carrier's will send multiple SMS's as MMS...nothing a sender can do about this, except not send multiple SMS's at once.
