Every time my wife's GS3 receives a picture in a text message, she gets 2 of them. Phone is completely stock and only has the default messaging app installed. No others.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

1. Check mms configuration in Message settings (attached)

2. Try to follow your carrier guide for reconfiguring MMS APN (relevant data access points (attached))

Thanks. Can you help me understand why that would send double pictures?

I'm not a big expert of the subject, but it seems to be something to do with the MMS server receiving double picture-retrieval requests from your wife's device (by another installed app for instance).

BTW- does she have AT&T message app installed, because it seems to be a known issue with it: http://www.galaxys4forums.net/forum/12-galaxy-s4-help/2988-receiving-double-mms-messages.html
