Starting last night i had a mate on Orange who everytime she texts me i would get 2 or 3 of the same text. She said she only sent it once. Found out another mate on o2 was getting the same 2 to 3 duplicate texts off her. Thought it was her phone, but then it happened when my sister text me who was also on Orange

 

Looking at http://downdetector.co.uk/problems/orange it appears orange are having signal issues this last few days, and a few reported that multiple texts are getting sent to their friends. One person said she rang Orange and they said its a problem between O2 and the Orange network

 

Anyone else experienced this? All other friends not on Orange dont have this problem

It must be an orange issue then which will hopefully sort itself out soon

I wish I was getting multiple texts from Orange! My brother 'who's with Orange' texted me this morning to ask if I could pick him up from work? I texted back and said 'Yes just let me know when?' So an hour goes past and he rings me and says 'you coming or what?' Apparently he had replied immediately saying 'pick me up now please!'
So we agrees a pick up point but when I got there I couldn't get parked! So I texted him with a new location, a text which again he didn't get! By the time I found him he had walked half way home!!

Yea seems its all linked to Orange network issues. I got a 2 texts from a friend today. The 2nd was correcting a typo from her 1st text. But i didnt get the 1st text, so didnt know what she was on about. Then later than night it came through

It is frustrating when we expect technology such as texts to be instant and fluid all the time.

Thank you for updating.
