Have you been receiving duplicate “SMS” messages on Verizon?

[Just_Me_D]

Within the last week, I’ve been receiving duplicate “sms” messages. This does not occur with iMessages. In addition, I’ve only gotten them from people who do not use an iPhone. I’m on Verizon’s network, by the way. Has anyone else experienced this recently?

I haven’t noticed anything, but I’ve been so detached this past week. I’ll have to pay closer attention.

Thank you, Nikki...

No duplicates for me. But I haven't had but a few SMS messages.

I had one thread that was being duplicated in another and I deleted one and the other went away. I haven't seen the issue since. Weird

Happens all the time with me. My wife is on Android and I get duplicate texts mostly when either one of us has a weak signal. At least that’s when I notice it the most.

I appreciate the feedback, sir. Thank you!...

The "thread" is not being duplicated in my situation. Only comments from people sending sms messages. It's as if the cell service is sending them twice. By the way, it's only from about 3 people. I/m sure it'll clear itself up.

I’ve been paying attention to my SMS messages & so far, I haven’t seen any duplicates.

Definitely sounds like a glitch, I would follow the suggestion of the others and delete one of the chains, it MAY delete the other also, BUT as soon as you or the others text again a new chain should start.

My first thought was that you had 2 competing SMS services, iMessage and maybe Verizon has it's own, BUT that does not sound like the case here.

UPDATE: Whatever the problem, it has somehow fixed itself. Thank you all for your input and have a great day.

Thats really odd. I havent noticed anything myself, being on Verizon. Sounds like it was just a bug that worked itself out one way or another.
