Any help from the peanut gallery? As of this weekend, any text to a group text messaging thread which includes someone with an an android phone automatically creates a new texting thread/chain which includes the same participants but adds another recipient: me. Specifically, it creates a new text chain and adds one of the participants as "Maybe: [insert my name here]. So when I text, I then immediately receive the text. Also, it is making it exceedingly difficult to sort between text threads because I'm listed as the first participant in every thread. I'm wondering what could have changed over this weekend that would have caused this to suddenly start happening. And more importantly, what can I do to make it stop?Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Somewhat related. I hate how i can't make names for group texts, unless everyone has an iphone. It messes with my OCD to see a huge list of names/numbers versus a simple group title.

I want to switch over to another carrier, and I paid cash up front for my existing iphone. I have never been on contract with my current carrier, and never financed any of my phones. I verified with TMobile that my iphone was unlocked. However, when I tried to switch over to a new carrier, they checked my existing iphone's IMEI and told me that that particular IMEI was irretrievably linked to TMobile. What? I was never given a discount or anything when I purchased my existing iphone, and I thought it was like purchasing an iphone from Apple directly, but it looks like if I try to take my phone away from TMobile it won't work at all. Isn't that the definition of a locked phone? And why would it be locked in the first place? So now I have a 7 plus with 256 GB that I cannot use?

Did you go through the steps to unlock your phone? We just switched to TMobile, and we unlocked the phones we had purchased through AT&T. It was pretty seamless. My iPhone X transferred right over, though they told us my daughters iPhone 5s couldn't transfer. So I traded in an old iPhone 6 I had been using as an iPod, and got a $450 credit towards a new phone for my daughter. And now I just use the iPhone 5 as the iPod. I have to think you'd be able to trade your 7plus in for some decent value, even if it's true that it can't be unlocked.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
