Text Messages converting to MMS????

[MDCHAM]

Here is an issue I have never seen before and this is only happening with one contact on my phone.

She is sending me text messages but they are showing up on my phone as MMS messages. I have verified she is doing the right thing and tested it myself but cannot seem to figure out how this is happening. She has a plain-jane LG phone and I have the Sony XPeria Play.

Any ideas?

A text message is an SMS.  Do you mean MMS?  Or Instant Message?

Der deh derrrrr

Yes...I meant MMS..Stupid keyboard...

It's probably her phone, not yours.  The sending phone determines the type of message.  Are the messages really long?  Some of the older phones will automatically convert an SMS over 140 characters to an MMS since more charters are allowed with this type of message.  Just a thought.

I thought that too...however it's just whenever she sends a message at all, such as: "Are you ok?"

The phone she has is a brand new LG Revere.

I'm at a loss on this one.  The only thing I can think of is that she is accidently creating an MMS instead of an SMS (the soft-keys are programmable so maybe one of the shortcuts got changed?)  The one other things that comes to mind is to check if the "request message delevery receipt" box is checked - although I'm not sure that would convert the message to an MMS.
