Hi, both my wife and myself have pay monthly contracts with O2, but neither of us can receive texts when they are sent to us as part of a group from a friend on 3. It's a small group and related to health updates on our friend who is undergoing cancer treatment.

 

If he sends us individual texts - no problem, but not when our names are on his group list. My wife has a Galaxy S3 - so different phone, same problem.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

I'm not sure if three have a limit on the number of people in a group, or, it's possible it's been sent as an MMS and your phones not set up to receive them ?

Ask your friend to check his message app and to turn off "Auto MMS Conversion" in settings if it's ticked.

Sounds like a problem with the way the messages are been sent. Is your friend using an app to text with?

No - just plain vanilla, from another Galaxy S3

I should add that no-one else on his contacts list has any problem in receiving, just us!
