Re: Why is my phone creating a new conversation everytime I get a text on my galaxy note 4

I am having the same issue with the galaxy S6. It's very inconsistent but sometimes when I receive the text it will show the contact but add a 1 in front of their number so when I go to respond it says it's an invalid number.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

im getting the same thing. i have re-text the person each time. i have AT&T and its affecting all people on my contact list no matter what company it'd be such as Sprint and other AT&T members
 
Re: Contact numbers in inbox not the actual number--extra country code?

Had the same issue starting this morning, ATT, 1 contact only. I tried deleting that person as a contact, as well as any message threads I had with them. I then re-added the contact and the issue seems to have gone away for the moment atleast. Just a suggestion

Also facing this issue this morning, currently on hold with AT&T Support using a Galaxy S3. They've transferred me two times. Customer Support -> Tech -> Advanced Tech and still waiting.

*I have a Samsung*

I was also told to do the steps below. the 11 digit texting is gone for now. I was told to be in safe mode for 10 minutes then restart the phone.

SAFE MODE:

Aaric : 1. Power off the device.

Aaric : 2. Press and hold the Power/Lock key for one or two seconds to turn on the device.

Aaric : 3. When the Samsung logo displays, press and hold the Volume down key until the lock screen displays.

Aaric : 4.When the lock screen displays, Safe mode is shown in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Aaric : Safe mode will only load preinstalled applications on your device.
 
Re: Why are text message replies in a separate conversation?

I have a Galaxy Note 3 and started having the exact same issue this morning! It's really quite frustrating because if you reply to the person's reply the message fails because it's not a valid phone number.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Mines fixed...glad I didnt set fire to my phone. The thought did cross my mind.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

I had the same problem but it just started working as normal again. Hopefully whatever the problem was it is fixed! Try your out. :-)
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

here is how to fix it. the person who is sending you the texts that are showing up as an 11 digit number has to change their own contact number on the phone. it appears with the latest update the systems added and extra one to your own contact number on your phone and its pulling that when they send you a text message. Again this is on the senders side that you are getting the text message from. if you have them check their own contact on their device it will show up with the extra digit they just have to remove it and whola fixed.
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Mine is doing that as well. any chance the person your texting has an iphone? because so far with me it only does it when I am texting someone with an iPhone
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

My phone is doing this to with just one of my contacts- earlier when i was messaging someone else i didnt have this problem but with my other contact every message he sends me i cant reply becuase of this i restarted phone but didnt change anything this is soo weird! are there any tips/solutions yet?
 
Re: Recieving text messages adds +11 infront of my number and text wont send

Issue appears to be with a software update. Last night, I downloaded updates to Facebook, AT&T Navigator, Uber, and Gmail. Google brought me here. I've attempted to use other forums and IRC channels, with no luck. I looked at Playstore, and found the 4 apps updated last night. Assuming one is the troublemaker, since messaging worked yesterday, I removed all four updates (and accidentally removed Facebook entirely). Messaging now works. Check and see if you got these same updates, and either remove all, or remove one at a time, reboot the phone, and try messaging again. Good luck!
 
Re: Phone is receiving texts in 11 digits

Hey Everyone,
So at 8:40am my issue all of a sudden was fixed by doing absolutely nothing. At&t had a lot of outages posted this morning so I'm assuming this was the issue, just be patient and it should clear itself up without having to do anything.
I have a Galaxy S4 AT&T, and was having trouble with 11 digit texts coming in from an iphone on verizon.
