Dec 31, 2011 11:49 PM in response to wjostenby autrefois,My wife was having the problem that texts to her were going to both of our phones, and texts from her were showing up to her friends as coming from me (even though she was sending them on her phone).
Your suggestion ("Settings>Messages>Receive At...you need to remove the email address you have listed here") appears to have fixed this problem. On her phone, we turned off iMessage, turned it back on, and removed my email address from there. Now it appears to be working correctly.
Don't know why after several months of us both being on iOS5 this suddenly started happening the other day, but at least your fix worked. Thanks!
