You need to change the settings for voice command.
Go to Start menu-->Settings-->Personal--Voice Command.
Select messaging from the list and click on Options. Uncheck High priority messages only.
Then it should read all your text messages.
The reason it was only reading your friends was that maybe that your friends text message was sent as High priority.

p.s. Welcome to the forum.

have you checked your voice command messaging options, have "Announce new message" checked.

How in the world do you get the phone to read a message to you? I tried that setting mentioned but my phone just rings?

Make sure that voice command is enabled
Go to Start menu-->Settings-->Personal--Voice Command.
It should look like this

Make sure that Messaging is checked

Select messaging from the list and click on Options. Uncheck High priority messages only.

Your phone will still give you the text message ringer, but it should read the messages.

Also, hi-light "Messaging" click on Notifications and check "Announce notifications through device speaker" and uncheck "Only during free time".

Is there a way to have the phone read the message to you again. Like if you didnt hear the message. Just kinda as a fun thing, cuz i know on my boys dare he can have it read his texts on command, instead of just the one time when the message is delivered

I followed your instructions but cannot get the text message to be read.
How do you get the message read thru the speaker? I clicked on the messag but nothing happened but for it to open.
