+11 In front of certain contacts as of this morning.

My friend texted me this morning and her number showed up as +11 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. When i respond it tells me its an invalid number. So I open another text thread directly to her phone number from my contacts and send a text but when she reaponds it pops up in a different thread again... HELP!!!!

Add me to the list.

AT&T user. Samsung S5. Four different text messages from four different contacts this morning, and all have had the "11" issue in replying. UGH!

Re: My phone adds another 1 to the begnning of the contact making it +11(xxx)xxx-xxxx

I am having this exact problem. I was hoping to find a solution here. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the system update, but it started right after I updated.

Re: Contact numbers in inbox not the actual number--extra country code?

Same here, Galaxy S4 active on AT&T... so far I've had this issue with a local (US) Verizon user and now a Rogers user from Nova Scotia...

WTF, mate?

Text message recieved are adding two 1's to the number

Hello,

I have a note 3 and didn't see a note 3 forum. Sorry if it's wrong.

But this morning, when I get a text message it will add two 1's to the number. 11xxx-xxx-xxxx

I have to start a new conversation each time with the person once they text me. If i text them, it goes through fine, and as long as they don't text back it will be okay, but as soon as they do the entire thread will have the number change with the extra 1's

I've tried changing the number in the contacts to have a 1 already, didn't work. Tried +1, didn't work. tired no 1's.. xxx-xxx-xxxx, didn't work.

Any advise on this would be great.


Thanks

Phil, there are several threads on this topic. Seems like a lot of us are having this issue. I'm on AT&T if that helps. here's a copy paste of my issue:
It's like I have two threads for every text convo. One thread of outgoing text message to my saved contact, and the other is incoming from the same contact, but with an extra 1 in front of it. You have to know the person's # to know who the heck is texting you.

Yeah, I see it on my M9 on ATT. Not seeing it on the GS6 on TMo.

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

All my numbers are doing the same thing. Does anyone have a fix?

Re: Texts coming back in own convo box

I have at&t too and its doing the same thing with adding the +11 and opening a new text everytime someone replies. I tried to clear cache and its not doing anything

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Like everyone else, my phone is doing the same thing. It started this moning and its really annoying and I can't text the person without having to text the 10 digit number. I have a galaxy s5 from at&t and I feel like it might have somethung to do wth either the update we just recently had, or just android itself. Either way they need to fix this issue. I'm just becoming annoying with android there's always some problem.

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

I just called customer service and they said they have an outtage and that's what is causing it. She said there is no eta at this time but they are working on it. It's effecting android and iphones.

Hi everyone,
I have a slight problem that is becoming a nuisance, my phone all of a sudden began receiving text messages from a weird phone number format for instance
A phone number has a 10 digit format
Ex: 1 562 444 4444
And up until about half an hour ago that was how everything ran on it fine and dandy, now all of a sudden my phone is receiving the same persons text message number as: 11 562 444 4444
Adding the extra 1 in there and creating an 11 digit number, my phone then treats this as an entirely different phone number and creates another message thread with this persons response, however if I go to respond to the message on the newly created thread I receive an error invalid number message. So I send messages in the thread with the 10 digit number and receive the messages from the same person in a separate thread as an 11 digit number.
Has anyone had this problem and has anyone been able to fix it?
Thanks
