UNKNOWN ADDRESS TEXTS?? Galaxy S4

[jessica_megan94]

I keep getting messages from Unknown Address as the sender & all the messages say Message Not Found or Permanent Failure. I thought at first it might be when iPhone users send me media or a group message but that works sometimes but other times I get that message. So I'm really not sure what it is & I brought it into a store & they were no help.

-Thank you,
Jessica

It happens randomly to my girlfriend as well. It's from the carrier I believe.

Sent from my T-Mobile Note 3 using AC Forums.

Like from a different carrier or mine? I asked in the store & the girl just thought I was crazy! I get messages from my carrier & they turn out just fine. WEIRD! I'm glad I'm not the only one tho hah

Actually this happens on several carriers. Definitely on T-Mobile & AT&T. Some folks are saying it happens when someone using an iPhone tries to send an MMS (picture) text msg. Try this: shutdown phone, open back & remove battery for 1 minute. See if that helps.
