IT'S SO AGGRAVATING. :mad::mad::'(:-\

Why are text message replies in a separate conversation?

I have a Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.4.2. Starting this morning, when I receive a text message reply from someone, the phones starts a new conversation. I have read where people have this issue with group message replies but this is from individuals. I can send a text under the original conversation and it comes back under a new (separate) conversation. Anyone else ever had this or know how to fix it?

GS5
AT&T
Started between last night and this morning. Same problem as everyone else is describing, Incoming texts come in as 11 digit numbers and in order to reply (and not receive a n error) I must text my original contact. So conversations now span 2 different "contacts".
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

I have a Note 4 with at&t and this started this morning. It is happening with several contacts with different carriers. My parents have note 4 and they use US Cingular, my boyfriend has a iPhone 6 with Verizon and my best friend has a galaxy s5 with sprint and they are all coming back with the 11.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Same problem here with my Note 4. I did notice there was a software update for the phone too. Not sure if the software update just came about this morning or before but trying that to see what happens after it updates.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Same issue here with my AT&T Samsung Note. It started this morning. Annoying!
 
keeps putting an extra 1 infront of my phone numbers

When someone responds to a text message, it will add an extra "1" to the front of the number. Which makes them come through as a new conversation but I am not able to respond because there are to many numbers now. I have to go in and start a whole new conversation every time.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Mine started this morning as well. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I am on the AT&T network...but NO know updates were performed.

Re: Why are text message replies in a separate conversation?

I am having the same problem (I have a Galaxy Mini)...just started today. Some incoming messages are from friends that have been contacts forever and messaging is not recognizing them. And when I try to reply the incoming message phone # has an extra 1 so it is not sending. I am so confused.....this has just started.

Thank you!

I'm having the same issue on my Note 4. Tried restart and powering down. Help!!!
 
Re: Text Contact Number Error: Extra 1 in Contact Phone Number

Same thing is happening with me. Some peoples responses appearing in a new text thread, others I just simply cannot text without getting error message.

Edit:

Seems to only be happening ATT (myself) to Verizon
ATT to ATT is working fine.

AT&T on S4 with Lollipop update a couple of days ago, but the update is not likely the cause. I can't find a place at AT&T to report the issue online and I'm not going to wait hours to get through their phone lines...
