My contacts report that they receive sometimes 10 duplicate copies of my TMs. I have reset the phone and now it is down to 2-3 copies but still occuring. This morning my TM had no text in it, but that may have been due to the outage reported. Anyone else have the duplicate TM issue?
Yes, mine is doging the exact same thing.
That is strange that you are having issues with your text messaging. Once in a while I have had issues with my text messaging. Usually it was been driven by a 3rd party text app that I have used. Are you using a 3rd party application for text messaging? Can you tell me what software version you are running? Have you had any other issues with the phone? Please answer these questions so I can help you resolve your text messaging issues. Thanks.

I have same problem and it will receive up to 4 the same message one after another and then maybe 10 minutes later I will get the same message again. My wife said she was getting the same on her Revo, she was in Vegas last week and I was in Michigan when this was happening. We have our phones updated and no 3rd party apps for messages.
No third party text messaging apps, just whatever Verizon uses. It is still happening but I have noticed one thing. When signal is low or transitioning it seems to happen more often. Right now it is only 2-3 duplicate TMs but when I travel I expect it will increase.
Weird......
I experienced this problem a while ago as well. It took me a while to get Verizon to admit that this was a problem within their network, they all wanted to blame it on the fact that it was occurring to an AT&T customer but it is a verizon problem. If you want it fixed be prepared to have to go thru customer service and spend hours with them on another phone too. It is a phone connection routing problem. I live between LA and SF and the towers north of me must be routed to a data connection thru northern Cal and the towers south of me thru Southen Cal. the phone is connected to two towers and each router (north and south) is send its own message. might also be a problem with the revolution too we all know they are junk.
All of my friends, whether they are using and Android phone or an iphone all complain that they are getting my texts 3 times...has anyone come up with a fix for this????
Im having the same Problem!!!! When I text other verizon users the are receiving the same message 2-3 times. This has been going on the last 2 days! Not looking forward to spending hours on the phone with Verizon!
It's not just spending so much time on phone with Verizon it's the time it takes to reload your phone after they tell you to do a factory reset. I have done it so many times and problems still here, freezing up, slow to switch to something else, phone shutting off, constantly pulling battery to get phone to turn back on and mutiple text messages. I'm tired of this phone and VZW wont do anything

For the past week, any of my contacts get my text 3x. Phone type, provider, irrelevant. Is this an LGRevo problem or Verizon issue?
I have been told somewhere on this forum that it is a Verizon cell tower hand off issue. I tend to believe this because when multiple texting happens to me, it is when I am driving in remote areas and experience little black holes of reception. When reception comes back, several multiples can occur.......as high as 10X once when travelling across eastern Washington. I don't know if there is a fix on hand but somehow I doubt it. But it doesn't sound like an LG Revo problem. Lord knows, it has enough of it's own!
Hey all, I finally spoke to someone at Verizon and there were a few things we tried, but nothing worked. Removing the battery and SIM card for a minute, then re-installing it, they tried to remove my service from the main system and re adding, and reactivating the phone, all of this resulted in the same thing. I would send myself a text and recieve it 3 times. They finally decided to send me a new phone over night. After I activated the phone and got everything going...same thing. This went on for about 5 hours, and I drove out of Oklahoma City and went into a small rural city just East of the city, and BAM...suddenly, it would just send the texts once! Today, everything has been working fine with the phone. Several things to consider...they mentioned that a problem like this is usually cause by the servicing towers, etc. I think that by "tower hopping" meaning that I got away from one tower and was on another one, it fixed the problem. I'm no expert on this stuff, but as a result of how mine fixed itself that way...I'm assuming. Try going to another area where you may have to be on another tower, remove everything from the phone (SIM card and battery) wait and reinstall it, and see if it fixes it...hopefully it works!
i just had a problem on 28 Jan 12 with multiple Sent text messages from my Blackberry. In fact, one of the pictures on my phone was attached to a text, and the text was sent to a distribution of 5 people, two of whom were not even in my contact list. and the text was sent to the group SIXTEEN consecutive times for a total of 80 picture texts. I DID NOT SEND THESE TEXTS! not even one text to one person, much less to 5 people over and over. Verizon Customer Service and Tech Spt opine that it was a RIM problem. ?? It has not happened again, but 80 messages that you did not send is kind of scary!
It seems to happen to me when I am travelling and moving from tower to
tower with black holes in between. It has been happening less lately,
however. I have quit blaming my Revolution anyway.
