Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

It is an AT&T issue, they are having an outage currently.

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Mine started doing it this morning. Making it frustrating to talk to my guy cause his texts are the ones doing it. S4 on, shocker, at&t. Seems like a network issue with them. Hope it gets sorted as this is crazy annoying.

Re: Texts coming back in own convo box

I have a S5 and it started this morning. I've contacted support and they told me to clear the data and cache from the messaging app under the Application Manager, I did that to no avail. I have AT&T as a provider.

Also it seems to be adding a +11 to the beginning of the phone number that is sending you a text, versus just the normal +1. Now everytime I want to send a text message I have to manually put in the phone number, and when I receive a text back, it brings up a new conversation box with a +11 added to the phone number, preventing me from texting back due to "Invalid number, please use a valid 10 digit phone number and try again"

So annoying.

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

This is super annoying, I have the android HTC one m7 and it is doing the same thing, I have at&t, there was a recent update a week ago. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. They need to fix this

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

My s6 edge is also doing this. I have at&t. It seems like just an Samsung problem. Please post if anyone gets theirs fixed. I tried deleting contacts and reinstalling them with the 1 infront. Nothing works

Recieving text messages adds +11 infront of my number and text wont send

Verizon Galaxy Note 2
Unlocked on Straight talk service, Was working fine and recently thing started happening, can send a text message fine but the number comes back +11(***)-***-**** have tried messaging multiple numbers change formats deleted the contacts and re added them disabled the assisted dialing, this is highly frustrating because i have to continue to open new messages each time i send one

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

It would be helpful if, when posting your experience, you include...

1. What phone you're using
2. What carrier you're using
3. Which app you're using for messaging (the one that's having the 12-digit issue)
4. And if possible; the carrier and phone the person you're messaging has (especially useful if it's only happening with 1 of your contacts)

The more information supplied the more likely someone is going to be able to help you, or at least identify a trend.

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Just started on mine this morning too! Anyone know why?????

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Same here and I have a Galaxy S4. Argggh. The person I'm texing has Verizon and I have ATT. Not sure if that makes a difference. Agrrevating as hell!

 

[AC Question]

Why are my texts coming through under a different contact that's +11(my number)?

I'm texting with someone on a Samsung Galaxy S3, don't know the OS details unfortunately, but I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.2. We've texted for quite a while, but suddenly today, when I sent them a text, they received it in a new conversation from a new number not in their contacts, which was my number, standard xxx-xxx-xxxx format, with +11 in front of it. All texts I send them are coming in through that number now, but it appears from screenshots that some I send aren't going through at all, and some of theirs aren't sending to me as well. What could be happening, and is there any way to fix it?

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Note 3, doing the same thing. Does sound like it might be ATT

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Please people stop saying you have the problem. We all know you do. If some has a fix please post it but saying yours is messed up too doesn't help.
