iPhone SMS text bounce back

If I send a text message(blue bubble) on my iPhone all goes well. If for some reason the message goes out as an SMS message(green bubble), then it goes out, but it also comes back into me! So anytime I send out a message with a blue bubble all is fine, but sometimes my message goes out with a green bubble and it always comes back into me again! My wife and I do not share appleI IDs. This will happen with group messages. Sometimes they go out with green bubbles and sometimes with blue bubbles within minutes. All the green bubble outgoing messages always come back to me. Anyone know why?

The first screenshot indicates it is a MMS message (green bubble), meaning a non iphone user is in the group.

Contact your phone carrier.

Everyone in my group conversation has an Iphone. There are no non-iphone users


Most time when I send a message it goes out with a green bubble but sometimes when I send a message to the same group it goes as an SMS with a blue bubble. I am not sending any media. Just text.


I am not sure what my carrier can do? This problem never happened until I got an IPhone 14 last week.
