My phone (4S, iOS 6) will only send text messages instead of iMessage to one particular contact (iPhone 5). Why this? We are both able to iMessage all our other iOS 5 and 6 contacts!
We also tried to deactivate and activate iMessage in "Settings", but still it will only send text messages.. We have tried within wifi-areas as well.

Is there some way to remove her from my 'iMessage contacts list' (i.e. Not have the little blue iMessage bubble beside her phone number when I try to compose a new message to her)?
No, you can't. Your friend would have to do that. The fact that she has turned iMessage off should do this.

ARe you provisioned by your cell provider to use MMS?
Last option is to contact your cell provider as MMS is a carrier feature. -

Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages
Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.
So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon.

Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?
I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have! I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved. I hope your problem is solved this easily.

Droid maxx hd will not send text messages
Is anyone else having this problem? Phone started not sending text messages. I have deleted Apps, pics, texts, etc and it starts to work for a bit then does the same thing.
Have you tried clearing system cache on your phone, I'd clear cache's for your Text messages then clear the system cache, make sure to power cycle your phone this can help as well..

My Iphone 4 will not send text messages to one contact
A week ago my friend just stopped receiving my text messages. I have an Iphone 4 on Verizon and she has a Samsung Smart phone on Sprint network. I am able to get hers and when I reply mine look as if they are going through but she does not get them. I have tried deleting her as a contact, re-entering her..she has done the same on her end. I have reset settings and nothing helps! Any ideas?? We thought it was her phone and she took it to Sprint an it is not. I am able to send and receive text messages to all of my other contacts.
Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it. -
I switched from having an iPhone to a Windows phone but I still use my old phone as an iPod. My friends who have iPhone's cannot send me text messages, only IMessages so I don't see them until I connect my iPod to WIFI. Help!!!
On the old iPhone, Settings > Messages - iMessage to Off.

IPhone 6 plus will not send text messages
I just got an iPhone 6 plus and am having trouble with text messages. I try to send a simple several sentence text message (no photos) and it appears to start to send but gets hung up and never completes. I tried turning iMessage on and off, tried resetting the network several times, but it still hangs up. I am using Tmobile service but I am connected to my home WiFi.
Hello, Claire.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to send messages and have tried a couple troubleshooting steps with the issue persisting. I would recommend going through the steps in the article below as there may be a couple steps that may help. You may also need to reach out to T-Mobile to make sure your account is provisioned correctly.

Why does my 4S suddenly switch to text messages when it has been sending to the same person as imessages? I am connected to wifi and have no cell service where I am, so the text errors out. Can I force it to send as an imessage?
It's on. We were sending imessages earlier today, then for some reason, my phone switched to text???

Restore the phone using the last backup you made.

I just recently got a new iPhone 5 because my old 5 completley broke for no reason and had to get a replacement from Apple. But now, I can't send or receive iMessages. Every time I try to text an iPhone user, it pops originally as it's going to send an iMessage but then it says it can't be sent and sends a text instead. It's getting real frustrating and I have reset the phone several times already, went into settings and turned iMessage on and off and done everything that I can. What else can I do? About to take it back and get an S4 when it comes out.
Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
