This is happening with my wife and my son.

They text within Group messages and get double texts back. Is there a fix to this?

This is a new issue and can't seem to figure it out.

Carrier?

I've noticed this being specific to certain carriers, so it may not be OS or device related.

I constantly get double or triple text messages from Sprint users on a variety of devices and OS's.

I've seen this happen more frequently in places of poor cell reception. This is typically related to the carrier.

I had this happen from a friends Droid (Samsung). Her carrier is Verizon. I mentioned it to her, but she had no clue why or what to do about it. Eventually, it stopped happening.

Very interesting. Yes AT&T and yes coming back as a text message (not iMessage). This would explain why it happens to only some phones on the plan and my son said that his just self corrected all the sudden a few days ago.

Thanks for all the input
