Two message icons coming up under one number.

[Android Central Question]

My husband sends me messages but its split in two. Opening in strange places so the texts don't match up. Often get an unread message that ive opened but it comes up again as a second message.

Welcome to Android Central! Are they really long messages (i.e., exceeding the 160 character limit for a single SMS message)? Do both of you have mobile data turned on? Long messages that exceed 160 characters either get converted to MMS (which requires mobile data), or get split up and sent as individual SMS messages.
