How can this be fixed? Most of my numbers are saved as 7 digit

So I THINK I've figured this out. Hopefully. I was getting the same problem when I was trying to text my boss and my dad. I went back to try to delete the contact and try again and I noticed that I had the little phone icon next to their numbers and not the messaging text bubble. But I'd also left their type of phone as "home" in the drop down menu. I edited that to mobile and boom, got the text messaging bubble. Tried texting them both, I could now send the message.
I think if the number is set to home the phone assumes it's a landline and doesn't even try to send. I think the people who have had success deleting and re-inserting the contact edited that piece of information without realizing it.
I really hope this solves your problem!

I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts. Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114

I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts. Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114. Online I found a discussion that stated i needed to delete contact and re-add. I have done that to no avail. Any ideas?

I had the same issue with the iPhone 6 and tried everything! I now understand that at some point I stored a number for a contact without including the area code and sent a text message. So, to correct the issue, you must literally "erase" all references to the contact, not just the number. Deleting the contact and entering a new one is not enough because the iPhone stores references to that number in multiple places. The steps below worked and are very simple:
1) On the contact screen, delete everything stored for that number. You can't just edit the contact to fix the problem, so write down or record the info somewhere before you complete this step. Choose edit and then select DELETE to eliminate the entire contact which means home, work, cell, email address, etc.
2) Delete the entire string of messages you sent to that number. That's every single message...
3) Now delete the entire string of invalid 2114 messages you received after your text(s) failed.
4) Finaly, remove the contact from FAVORITES if you saved it that way.
5) To validate that all this worked, simply go to the keypad or contact screen and enter the number associated with the contact to verify successful removal. I used the keypad and dialed to confirm. If the contact number still shows up, you need to go back and recheck your steps. Trust me, I had to do this a few times.
Several posts suggested that you should reset and turn off your phone. After following these steps, it was not necessary for me to reset or turn off my device.
is there a much faster way to achieve the same results? Probably, but this was safe for an iPhone novice and may help you avoid inadvertently deleting other contacts or replacing factory settings that you need.

Does anyone know why I keep getting an error message, "Error invalid number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. The numbers I'm texting to, are valid numbers.

My coworker has the identical issue, including the number (+1 (1)(216)116-11) in the error reply.

Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code

Hey, so my friend got a Galaxy s6 edge yesterday and gave me his new number. When I tried texting it I received this immediately after:
Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. Hey
I can receive messages from this number as well as calls. I've become aggravated and am not sure what to do. Please help, thanks!

Hi there
I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
Delete texts from both old number and new
Delete any call logs including these numbers
Delete old number from contacts
Delete new number from contacts
Restart device
Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
I hope this helps!

At&t +1 (1) (216)116-11 error invalid number please resend using 10 digit mobile number

tried all the method proposed for former similar questions. None works. Even more confused about whether it is the problem of AT&T or apple or both? How can I solve it. It's really annoying!

Are you in the US? If you are in the US, you don't need to call or text the full number unless it is a toll free number.
You can just use the 10 digit number XXX-XXX-XXXX
It seems the number is invalid so AT&T respond back saying that "at&t +1 (1) (216)116-11 error invalid number please resend using 10 digit mobile number"
If you are using the right number and you know for sure it is a working number, try delete the number in question that you try to text to like call history or text history of that number and just delete it. Do not delete the number in your contacts though. Delete history pertaining to it in calls and text.
Then try it again to text to the number.

How to read number of digits in a given decimal number by using abap

Hi ,
How can we read the number of digits present in a decimal number , just before decimal.
For example: I have this number - 200.00
Now I want to read how many digits are present in this number before decimal ( . ) point. so in this case the number of digits are 3( 200). Similarly if we have a number 15.00, in this case number of digits is 2 ( 15 ) before decimal point.
How can i acheive this by using abap.
Regards
PG

Hi
There are differenent logics available.The previous reply was really good. get another way also.
Data: v_dec type p decimals 3,
         v_temp   type char20,
          v1 type char10,
          v2 type char10,
           v_len type i.
v_temp   = v_dec.
split v_dec at '.' into v1 v2 .
condense v1 no-gaps.
len = strlen( v1 ).

Stripping digits from a multi digit number

I am writing a VI that will initially prompt an operator to input a whole number as a serial number for the device under test (e.g 13579). I need to take each individual integer and send it as an eight bit word to an EEPROM i.e send 1 = 00000001, then send 3 = 00000011, etc until the whole serial number is stored in the EEPROM. I'm only a simple sparky and just starting life with Labview. Has anyone any ideas how to start this please?
Regards
Ian

hi there
i attached a vi with some functions you may find useful.
Best regards

Error Invalid Number, re-send using a 10 digit number when texting a certain number, but when I put the area code in it still sends to the 7 digit number

About a month ago I added a friends number without the area code. I was in an area that I couldn't send texts from. Two days ago he texted me and I tried to reply, but when I did I got the error message "Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."
So, I put in the area code in front of the number and when I sent it, the phone dropped the area code and just sent it to the 7 digit number. I went ahead and deleted all of his contact information and text messages to him and re-entered the with the area code and saved him as a new contact. I tried to text the number and it still sent it to only the 7 digit number!!!
I have tried everything there is to try, but there seems to be a part of the phone that is remembering this number even after I've deleted it and everything associated with it.
Does anybody have a solution for this?? I have called Apple and they told me they have never heard of this problem before.

The fix for this problem is easy and is set out here: http://edctips.blogspot.com/2014/09/fixing-iphone-texting-problem.html

Texting problem: Please re-send using a valid 10-digit number

I've been having problems texting ever since I've upgraded to the latest firmware. When I try to text a person from my contacts, I get a text right back from 1 (121)611-611 : Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.
I KNOW my contacts have 10 digits. I've double and triple checked that. The only way I can text is by going into the text window, open a new text, enter the 10 digit number and then write the message. It goes through fine. It even converts the 10 digit number to my contacts name when I do it like that and it sends.
I also have this issue when I reply to texts! I try to reply but it doesn't go through.
Has anyone experienced this and/or know how to fix this? I've tried a Restore, but it keeps happening.

I'm not sure about your issues with Safari and such.
On GSM-based phones, like the iPhone, you can store and use phone numbers in the international format. eg. +12025551212, +61411123456. That's with the + sign. The network should realise it is in the international format and handle it without a problem. Storing numbers this way allows people to travel to other countries and still make calls to people from the address book and not worry about the local international access code.
Usually SMS messages are received with this form. Try sending an SMS using a number in this form.

Error Invalid Number - 7 digit number prevents future SMS messages

I can't send SMS messages to one of my contacts at all.
my contact had only 7 digits under "Mobile" phone because he was in my area code.
I tried to send a text to him and got this response:
"####### Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. <my text message>"
The ####### was his 7-digit number from the contact info.
So, I modified the contact info and put in the area code to make it 10-digits. I tried sending another text message, but that had the same exact response (with only 7 digit number).
I cleared the messages for that contact and tried again, same result.
I synch'ed my iPhone and then tried again, same result.
My contact now has the correct 10 digit number, but whenever I try to send a SMS message to him I get the response with the 7-digit number saying Error Invalid Number.
How can I fix this?

Apparently the phone is wrongly remembering the shorter number, so try this. Edit the contact to put back the 7 digit number, but add a NEW phone number with the 10 digit code, and a different label, perhaps a custom label. Try sending an SMS to that new number. If it works, you can just delete the old 7 digit number entry entirely.
