Hi

 

I sent a friend an mms today and they received it but it showed from another number not mine. Ive checked the message centre number and its different to that.

 

Anyone any ideas

 

Thanks

Did the message/photo reach their phone or did it direct you to a website?

Hi, yes it went to the person i sent it too but on their phone it showed as received from another number not my number. I've called EE this morning and they are looking into it.

This is happening to my husband as well and he's just changed to EE recently

Google the number.

 

i did last night also rang it but its switched off, just done understand how a text from my phone can show as a different number.

 

im waiting for ee to call me back as they are supposed to be looking into it but im not holding my breath

Ah so you are the person sending me nude pics. Don't worry, I deleted them.

If you have just changed to EE, the network settings may not be correct and they may be sending you a relay message from an unused/network number...

I've been with orange for about ten years and have sent so many mms messages but this is the first one that i have sent that has gone funny, ive sent many mms messages to this person so can not work out how it has happened.

 

I just hope orange can come up with an answer, as theres not much on google about this type of thing in the uk

You may have been on EE for a while, but what about who is receiving the MMS?

 

if a phone isn't correctly set up for MMS, or they have no data remaining, they will often send the user a message from an unknown number (a network reserved number) with the message, and a web link to the image/video/sound in the MMS message, so they can collect via WiFi or similar later...

 

It's perfectly normal, and happens quite a bit...

the person receiving the message is on contract, they received the message in their inbox but showing a different number. I have sent 100s of picture messages to them before and never had an issue.

 

I have since spoke to ee and they are blaming it on the last software update, currently googling but can not see an issue the same.

 

The number it showed is in wigan
