AGREED!!! I have done nothing different, except download the new update!! 😞  Please get the issue fixed as I see this has been happening for almost a year.

This began after I started using Verizon’s Smart Family App.

What is happening?

I have also begun receiving these messages.  I only text a handful of people and they are all receiving my texts so this message makes no sense.

We want to make sure that you don't receive unwanted messages. Could you tell us if this is happens with a specific number or all numbers?

We can certainly understand wanting to know what is occurring with your messages and we are happy to assist. Are there any usage restrictions set through Smart Family for the line experiencing this? StanleyC_VZW

My boyfriend's line is also receiving the same messages and has recently blocked a number. So, evidently, blocking a number seems to be the reason for the message(s). Is there not a way to fix this at all? I've noticed it's been a problem for almost a year now...

This is happening to my whole family all at once and the message appear to be coming from each individual - like the messages I'm getting look like I'm sending them - so stupid.  Getting blown up with random messages, spam messages, Insufficient funds messages (whatever that means - no venmo action), nasty nasty pornographic messages is ridiculous! Please fix this!!

I'm having the same problem. It's a group chat that is all post paid and is all on the same account with me.

Just started happening today on my phone and another one on my account but not the others.  Both are older Android Phones but not the same.  Other phone has no numbers blocked, I have a bunch of numbers blocked.  Other phone is not part of Verizon Smart Family, mine is.  This is an issue on Verizon system end.  Message is from my own phone number.  Rep seems to not be paying attention to posts and just giving form reply.  It started happening this morning before I sent or received any texts I had 2 from my own number with the Recipient has insufficient funds to receive messages.  This seems to have been going on for months.  It is very annoying.  Verizon employee monitoring this thread please escalate to someone that knows what they are doing.
