Re: message displays wrong number
Answer: Figured it out. The problem is that some people not getting the correct ID (sending telephone number) when I message them. The reason for this is that I have been using the Chat (aka JIBE)which appears to be anintegral to new versions of Android. Chat uses RCS over WIFI and mobile data. If WIFI and mobile data are not available, it reverts to traditional SMS. When SMS messages are sent, recipients are seeing the correct sending telephone number, When sending over WIFI or mobile data, recipients are seeing the old incorrecttemporary number. The Chat function has a telephone number associated with it. In my case, it was the temporary number provided by T-Mobile when I ported my old telephone number from Verizon to T-Mobile. Effectively, the temporary number got stuck in the Chat function and Chat did not recognize and incorporate the newported telephone number. To fix this issue of wrong telephone number beingdisplayed on sent messages the following is suggested: Go to three dots on the Chat messaging page > select settings > select Advanced > select Phone number and type in the correct telephone number even if if the correct number is already displayed Go back to three dots > Settings > Turn on chat function Go through phone number verification process (the verification process may take about 30 minutes to receive a final verification)43Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: message displays wrong number
I had a friend delete my contact information on his phone. He also deleted all messages from me. However, when I sent a new message, the incorrect number appeared. The number that appears is the temporary number used when I ported my telephone number over to t-mobile. When I call people, they see the proper number. When I message people, most get the correct number but a few are still getting the temporary number. This has been going on for six weeks.21Visto0likes0Comentarios
