This has certainly gone on way too long, Piz. I know your time is valuable, and group messaging is a huge way of communication. Can you please tell me if this happens with all group messaging? Does it happen when you only you initiate messages?

Only when I initiate on a group msg +.
Inconsistent for some recipients and others only get the wrong number. One suggested it's an error code. The number very close to from 2017.
I also have a ticket in. And I've heard nothing from tier III.

Piz,
I definitely appreciate your patience while dealing with this as we want to make sure you can always count on your group messaging. If a ticket is already in with our network team then waiting on their response is the next step. Have you heard anything since the most recent ticket was submitted?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 and I have also been experiencing similar problems since June 2019 when sending group texts using messenger+. Somehow it's placing a 1 in front of the phone number of members of the group text - thereby removing identifying information since that number is not in their contacts as such. It then shows 11 numbers instead of 10 that is loaded under contacts.

Hello, asics447. It is important that your group messages function correctly, and we will make sure any issues are addressed. We have some questions to gather more information. What is the make and model of your device? What text message app are you using? DavidR_VZW

I have the same EXACT problem. I created the group. Gave it a name. Added a picture. Sent the text.
Everyone thought their phones had been hacked or received phishing spam trying to steal their information.
Finally, one of the recipients sent me a screenshot.
On their end, the only thing they could see was the group name, picture I added, and the ph# 588-936-5649.
My ph# nor my name appeared anywhere for them. Each recipient thought they had received a random text because someone had a virus that used information to create a random group and send messages.

This happened to me when I started an enhanced group in order to be able to text with my family members in another state. The text show as if they are coming from a number with a new jersey area code. I'm using a Note 9. Verizon, will someone please address this issue?
