Dear DKBS,

There are several threads in this forum discussing this issue. I have not experienced the same problem, so can't tell you personally what you might do to solve it. Use the search box at the top of this page, just below the Verizon banner, to find these threads.

I hope you find the solution.

I just got off the phone with Verizon (Call from a diff phone, 800-922-0204, option 3) and the rep was great. So far I'm fix but if anything changes I'll update this thread.

All she did was have me power down my phone and "Refresh the messaging features in the switch". I powered up, had a bunch of users text me and had no duplicates.

FYI - I'm using a Motorola Bionic. My issue was only occuring when the sender was an iPhone user. They could have been on AT&T or Verizon. I was also getting anywhere from 1 to 10 duplicates from the sender. I hope this helps. I'm going to post the same response in some other threads.
