Hi everyone, thanks for any help, I am a new user, and having problems with texting, seems I can not go to the message icon to send new message, I have to go to contacts and start there, is this correct? Getting very frustrated with this phone, my previous phone was a envy3, so easy to use. Thanks for any help.

Nickie1963, thanks for posting. Are you still having issues sending text messages? I would follow the suggestion of akdisney to send the messages. Also, do you have any issue receiving text messages?

I also have a texting question.  I have a shared plan with my wife, and she is getting a copy of the text message i am sending and receiving.  Is there a way to stop this?

thanks

It sounds like you are receiving iMessages and you and your wife share AppleIDs. You should change your imessage settings to have a unique ID for both of you. Maybe you can use your phone number in those settings. Hopefully someone who is much more familiar with imessage can clarify this process.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
