Someone is texting from my number

[Odpage]

On two occasions this week, someone is sending text messages from my phone number that I did not send.  I don’t want to get a new phone number

1. Can I identify where these texts are coming from?

2. Do I need to get spoofing software To make it stop?  If so, what one?

3. Is there anyway to stop it for free?

4. Are there any settings on my phone that I can change to prevent this from happening in the future?

thanks

Odpage, we never want our customers to be in this situation, and we want to do everything we can to help you. How did you become aware of the text messages being sent from your number?

I don’t trust my email or phone. I became aware when I saw 2 texts in my feed that I did not send

Someone is most likely logged in to your iMessage.
