Why is my iPhone4 sending multiples of texts hours/days later?

I've had my iPhone4 for a little over a year now, and all of a sudden it has started sending multiples of my text messages to my friends. The multiples don't show on my phone, but I keep having people tell me that they're receiving a text that I had sent hours or even DAYS beforehand, again.
My software is all updated, and I've plugged my phone into my computer to let it sync in hopes that it would help- but unfortunately it hasn't.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution for this?
It's really a pain to have to explain every time- especially when I have no idea it's happening unless the person I am texting tells me!
Thank you

There is nothing wrong with iMessage on your device.
The issue is with your sisters device and iMessage.

  • Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more.

    Why can't I send multiple texts any more? I am on iphone 5 and it is only allowing me to send messages to 10 people at once! Previously on iphones 3 and 4s I could send to many more. I use my phone for work and want to send to multiple staff groups or project leaders the same information at the same time and not all of them have email capable phones so text has always been the best solution.
    Please help ?

    22ms is a long time for your computer, but I am wondering about your network. Are you 10 base or 100 base? Switch or hub? Have you tried a direct connection with a crossover cable? Just trying to spark ideas here. I use TCP all the time but only at 500 ms intervals.

This can't be right correct? If anyone has founf a solution I would really appreciate some help as Im sure you can hear I am frustrated.
    thank you

    It is a sprint issue and other carriers have that same problem. I get multiple copies of texts from other carriers all the time to my iphone. It isn't the iphone, it is the carrier sending the text message several times because they haven't received and ack message from the recepient.

  • Why can't I send images via text

    Why can't I send images via text?

    Do you have data enabled? MMS enabled? While it doesn't count against your data plan, your phone should be able to send small photos, but does require a data connection.

  • Why can't i send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?

    With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
    The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either.

  • Why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

    why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

        Hello there Laurengrayce,
    I message all of the time and I want you to do the same, to anyone you would like!  Demmo provided a good suggestion of having this person check their services and ensuring they're setup as a 10-digit number, but I would like to provide some of my own suggestions.
    If they are in fact already setup as a 10-digit number, I would recommend deleting this persons contact from your phone as well as the entire messaging thread (long press and hold on thread to delete).  Readd them to your contact list and try again.
    Please advise if this continues and they've already checked with their provider.
    Thanks,

  • HT201229 Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.

    Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.

    1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
    2. They must also be registered with iMessage
    Note: The two above conditions must be met.

  • Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?

    Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
    I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.

        Antny,
    Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

  • Why can't I send or receive text messages to non-iphone users

    Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
    That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.

  • Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

    Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

    Are you trying to do this from the photos app or from the mail app? Explain in a little detail what is happening when you try to select multiple photos.
    No matter which app you are using, you can try quitting the apps completely and then reboot the iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Why can't i send a single text message to more than 10 contacts??

    That's a built in limitation of iOS. If you need to send messages to larger groups of people, you'll either need to send them in  batches of 10 or use a dedicated group messaging app. GroupMe works pretty well. Blackberry Messenger is also an option, though I don't like the interface as much.

  • My 4s has begun sending multiples of text messages, occasionally sending those hours or even a day later. Is this something i can fix? or is there a problem with the phone

    My 4s has begun sending multiples of text messages, occasionally sending those hours or even a day later. Is this something i can fix? or is there a problem with the phone

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • IPhone4 sending dozens of text messages without my knowledge

    I think the iPhone4 has a virus.Since I got it three days ago, it has sent over 48 text messages to SMS number such as 49988 and 2639. The messages are cryptic such as
    <snip>
    From: 1613 xxx-xxx
    To: 2639
    August 12 2010 07:43 PM
    STATE
    </snip>
    It also receives SMS from 49988 like so
    <snip>
    From: 49988
    To: 1613xxx-xxxx
    August 12 2010 07:09 PM
    REG-RESP?v=2;r=4327d673;n=+16138510973;s=014E647B2CFFFFFFFF94A13D1F520AA05404617 C9271159D1E9184CE5E
    </snip>
    These messages don't show up in the messages dialog. The only reason I know my iPhone4 is sending and receiving them is that Rogers has a service that provides emails copies of all SMS sent or received.
    I asked the genius at the genius bar about it and he didn't have a clue.
    I have seen this behaviour on two iPhone4's (incidentally the first iphone4 I had for only 2 days, kept going dead and required a hard start to get going. I now have a refurb from the genius at the Apple store.)
    Anyway, if anyone can shed some light on these mysterious messages, I would appreciate it. They are burning up my SMS quota.

    I just received my bill from Bell and noticed 3 outgoing and 1 incoming short code text. Out of the 3 outgoing text, I got charged for 2 of them $.75 each. I called Bell about these charges because:
    a) I don't send msgs to short codes because I know 99% of the time you get charged for them
    b)$1.50 isn't a lot, but it's still charges!
    c) I just bought the iPhone 4 right when these charges came up on my bill, so how could I possibly send this random text message?
    Now these messages did not come up on my phone, so the bell representative told me that it came from the short code 49988. He told me about this post when he was looking into the issue and he said Bell had no knowledge of this issue, but told me to keep an eye out on my bill and contact bell and apple if this issue arises again.
    And yes, he did credit me back the $1.50!!!

  • Why can I not send pictures thru text to non apple phone users?

    Since the IOS6.0.1 update to my iPhone 4 I can no longer send pictures through texting to friends and family who do not have iPhones. I have been to an apple store in hopes they could fix this problem and they can not.

    Both of those are carrier features, contact your cell phone provider and ask them why.

  • Why can't I send a response text back to a Blackberry using my iPhone

    I can receive a text message from a certain Blackberry Curve and yet when I respond, the recipient does not get my text message. My iPhone4 indicates that the message has been sent.  That Blackberry can receive and send text messages from other iPhone4s without any problems. 

    Sounds like an issue between your carriers.
