Cannot Send Text Messages to Short Codes?

I keep getting account updates from someone's bank account. The short code 454545 is sending me text messages for pretty much any account activity for this person. I've tried texting "Stop" or "Help" (as instructed by the messages sent to my phone) and I get a "Send Failed" notification for my phone. I've called the bank to stop the texts, but I'd like to fix the actual problem.
This problem exists for all of the short codes I've tried. 32665 (facebook), twitter, all of them. How do I fix this problem?

Yosef,
I do not have premium messaging blocked. I checked in the My Verizon site,
plus I am able to receive messages from short codes. It's just that
whenever I try to send a message to a short code, it fails.

  • Why cant i send text messages to short codes?

    i was trying to send a text to a 4 digit short code to enter a competition, my iphone 4 wouldn't let me, it kept putting a space after the first digit which then made it an invalid number, is there some setting i haven't found yet or am i doing something wrong  

    Do you have that person blocked? Set to Do Not Disturb (Open the conversation thread, tap Details in the upper right, check that DND is set to Off)?

  • Cannot send text messages

    HI
    Starting 10 days ago, I cannot send text messages. i can still receive text messages.
    I tested my phone with a colleague who has an iphone. He receives a record that I am texting him but the message is null. I also texted a family member on her Android phone and she gets nothing.
    Here's what I have done:
    1. I did a hard reset twice. I removed the battery and even the SIM card in the process.
    2. Soft reset once using the Alt, **bleep**, Del key.
    3. Checked if my BB had the latest sotfware. It did It currently has OS 6 with bundle 2647.
    4. Wind Mobile Canada has reset my PIN
    5. I re-registered my phone as guided by the Wind Mobile tech support. I got an email from BB saying "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network".
    What else could I try?
    Thanks

    Click on TEXT MESSAGES icon.
    Go to BB Menu and Click OPTIONS
    Sroll down to "Data Coding"
    Choose "7 bit"

  • I just purchased a note 3.  Everything works well except I cannot send text messages.  I can receive them, but I get an error message when I try to send them

    Can anyone tell me why I cannot send text messages on my note 3?   I can receive them, but when I attempt to send them I get an error message unable to send . . .  It's a brand new phone.

        Congratulations on your new phone, Nonaleigh.
    We would love to get to the bottom of your message mystery.
    I'm guessing you are getting the error for all messages you attempt to send, is that correct?
    What type of phone did you upgrade from? We ask because if you have switched from an Apple device (e.g., iPhone) to a non-Apple device (e.g., Android, Blackberry, etc.) and previously used the iMessage service, you may experience issues sending/receiving SMS/MMS messages with Apple device users. You need to deactivate the iMessage service within your Apple account to restore normal SMS/MMS functionality.

  • TS2755 I cannot send text messages form my 4S iphone to other cell phones.

    I cannot send text messages to other cell phones.  Only iPhones accept the messages.

    check to see if you have SMS turned on in the message settings.
    IF that doesn't help contact your phone carrier as they handle messaging and see if they can help resolve the issue.

  • Cannot send text messages to Verizon customers

    Hi
    I cannot send text messages to other verizon customers but can send to non vz. This has been happening since last night. Is there an update I need to perform? I have an iPhone 6 plus. Thanks

    Hi
    Thank you for your message. It seems like it is certain Verizon iPhone users. I did not download any new apps or perform any software updates on my iPhone. The ppl I could send text messages to were non VZ non iPhone users. Today I can only send to some iPhone users. They also had error messages sending text messages to me but not to my daughters iPhone (we r on a VZ family plan). Do I need to perform an update like *228 or something like that? Thank you!

  • N73 - Cannot send text messages/Multimedia key not...

    Sent my N73 into the shop to be fixed, and it came back with 2 problems. I cannot send text messages at all. I have heard that this can be solved with the sms accelerator, but I can find NO download link for the N73. I found another one and installed it onto my phone (version 1.0(0)) but the problem persists. ANy ideas or links to where the sms accelerator is for the N73?
    The 2nd problem is the multimedia key is no longer programmable. I press the multimedia key, then select the down arrow (configure) I scroll down to any of the options right, left, top, center, bottom. When I press the center joystick I just am taken back to the multimedia screen. I am not given any choices to reprogram the keys....any ideas there???
    Thanks for the help!

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Often it's just a case of resetting the phone after it comes back from repairs if they've upgraded or simply reflashed the firmware for you.
    Note that these operations will wipe your phone's internal memory so do a backup before proceeding.
    First option: revert to factory defaults. Dial *#7780#.
    Second option: soft reset. Dial *#7370#.
    Third option: hard reset. Switch the phone off and do the following.
    1) Press and hold the green "call", "3" and "*" buttons.
    2) With those buttons pressed down, switch the phone on.
    3) Keep pressing those 3 buttons and only release them once the phone shows signs of life such as the Nokia "hands" logo or the language selection screen.

  • Cannot send text message or iMessage?

    I recently upgraded to iOS7 (like everyone else) and today cannot send text messages or iMessage. I can make phone calls and use other internet services. Any ideas?

        Hi shelmig1!
    Sorry to learn of any issues since upgrading to iOS7. Let's try some troubleshooting! Do you find that this issue is only for other iPhone users, or does it happen with all messages? Are you able to receive messages? Please reset your network settings: Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings. Keep us posted on the results, thanks!

  • Cannot send text (SMS) to short telephone numbers

    Hi, I have a Nokia XpressMusic 5800. I find i cannot text to short, 5 digit numbers. For example i cannot request information from Google by texting g-o-o-g-l-e (466453). This kind of services is becoming very popular and it's a problem when i'm not able to access them.
    When i try to send an sms to a 5-digit number, the text is never sent. It sits in the 'Outgoing' box forever, until the software gives up trying. All i'm told is "Impossible to send message". My old, non-smart Nokia had no problem sending these types of messages, and i know it isn't my provider... what's going on?

    Yosef,
    I do not have premium messaging blocked. I checked in the My Verizon site,

    whenever I try to send a message to a short code, it fails.
