Why are my text messages from my iphone 4s going to my husband's phone too.
My telephone number used to be on his iphone.
Because you have both of them configured with the same e-mail address in Messages.

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?
Any suggestions as to why I can't see or add a phone number in iMessage on my iPad?
I've added my mobile number to my Apple ID which I thought would flow through to iMessage -

I recently synced my I phone to install the recent upgrade. Nwhen I send a group text message, that I did previously with no problems, now some of my recipients do not receive. They are telling me that it looks like I am sending them an email.....????? I'm totally lost. I changed nothing on my phone other than doing the upgrade. Any advice???
Thank you. I think I am on to something. Went thru with your instructions and the receive at is my email address......my phone number is in light gray and says error. I cannot open it to change it.

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.

When I send a text message from my iPhone response only comes back to my iPhone . If I send from iPad, response only comes back to iPad. Whichever I used last is where response comes. Responses are not coming to both anymore!
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.

Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.
You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

Why can't I recieve text messages from an iphone while I'm on a phone call
When I'm on a phone call on my IPhone5s I can not receive text message from other IPhones. Why is this and is there a way that I can fix it. Nor can I send I messages or picture text.
That is a limitation of 4g networks, you cannot use data and talk at the same time except for few networks (I think AT&T)
Unless you have the new iPhone 6, which supports enhanced LTE which will allow talk and data over 4g networks.
This problem exists with many other phones as well by the way. -

How can I retrieve deleted text messages from my iphone 5
Somebody deleted a string of text messages from my iPhone 5 and I want to know if they can be retrieved and if so how? I'm new to the iPhone as this is my first apple product. I am still not even sure on how to use my iTunes and so forth. Please help as the string of messages was very important!! Thank you so very much!! Tracy
SMS text messages are backed up with the iPhone - whether it's locally or to iCloud. If you've already written over the backup that had them (as in, backed up after the delete) then they're gone.
If you still have a backup available from a time where you had the messages on your iPhone, all you have to do is erase the iPhone and restore from that backup.

How do I backup and view text messages from my iphone 4?
How do I backup and view text messages from my iphone 4? I want to know where and how to backup and view text messages and all other personal files, including voicemail, recent calls, etc. from my iphone. Is this function in iTunes and/or does iTunes already backup this stuff when I sync?
I really just want the answer to how and where this works.
ThanksApple provides functionality in the backup done via iTunes to backup the device and text messages. There is no functionality to view the text messages on the computer.
About iOS backups
Other programs are available which can extract text messages from the device or the iTunes created backup and then be viewed on the computer. To my knowledge, no program exists which can force backed up text messages into the device once they've been removed.

I need to retrieve a series of very old (more than 1 year old) text messages from my iPhone 4S. Is this possible?
If the text is still on the phone and wasn't deleted, I don't see why not. Probably easiest to use an app like TouchCopy (Mac and PC) or PhoneView (Mac), rather than looking through things on the phone itself.

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.
