Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

There's a tread going in the AT&T forums and it's apparently happening to other people who are on AT&T but not using Samsung phones, so it's definitely an AT&T issue, not a Samsung one.
 
Re: Recieving text messages adds +11 infront of my number and text wont send

Has it only been happening with iPhone to android? Those are the numbers I am having issues with so far. Also ATT user here

Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

I'm glad this isn't just me. Galaxy s5 updated 2 days ago AT&T service. If another att number text me it's fine but anyone outside of att comes as an 11 digit format. I'm at work n can't call att. HELL someone save us all this aggervation call them n see what the deal is before I go crazy I throw my phone. Lol

My girlfriend is on straight talk with a galaxy s3 and having same problem and I'm on sprint. Straight talk isn't at&t is it?

Not just a Samsung problem. I'm having the same problem with an HTC One on AT&T.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

I live chatted with Samsung. They told me to do this...App>> Settings>> Application manager>> All>> messages>> Clear data.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Same thing started this morning. It sucks, i have to read one conversation (11 digit) and send using 10 digit.
 
Re: keeps putting an extra 1 infront of my phone numbers

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.

I'm having the same issue on my s5 active. Started this morning. Att as well
 
Re: keeps putting an extra 1 infront of my phone numbers

Mine is doing the same thing this morning! I've taken out my battery and such. Nothing works. Someone please help! This is annoying.
 
Re: Why do some of my text conversations in "Messenger" get split-up?

Have you been able to resolve this issue yet? I just started having the same problem today on my note 4. :-\
