Has anyone had trouble getting hangouts instead of text messages?

Has anyone had trouble getting text messages.  I am getting hangouts instead of text messages.

That's very odd Wife2011. Have you checked the notifications on the text messages and Hangout app? Are these messages only from your google plus friends?

Please delete all old messages and retest.

Wife,

Once you merge SMS and Hangouts, Hangout becomes the default handler of incoming and outgoing SMS. To switch to SMS or Hangouts, click the icon on the left side of the Text box.

Hope this helps.
