We have 5 iPhones in our family account. Recently, person 1 will send a text to person 2, but the message will show up on person 3's phone. Oddly, person 3's text display show the message as if person 3 sent it! The messages often go to several of the phones, so it's impossible to tell (without asking) who actually sent the message. Any ideas?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
Person 1 and Person 3 both have iMessage activated using the same e-mail account. Check in Settings>Messages>Receive At.
I am having the same issue. My wife & I both have iphone 4. We both use the same iTunes Apple ID. After we both updated to IOS 5.1, iMessage conversations that she has started showing up on my phone. They don't arrive with an alert like a new message, they just show up. Also, iMessages that I get from her appear as if they came from me, which gets confusing. I think this has something to do with the new "feature" that your iMessage conversations appear across devices, like if you have an iPhone and an iPad. I already checked, and my phone is set to receive iMessages from my number and my email. Her phone is set to receive iMessages from her number and her email.
I believe KiltedTim is correct....I did what he said yesterday, we indeed had the same email on there, so I changed it and it appears to be working.
Thanks!
