Cannot send or receive text messages to one friend

Hi,
I'm having a problem sending & receiving text messages to one particular friend. (I have an iPhone 4, she is with another carrier) She can text to other people, as well as I can. Also, we used to be able to text one another. It just all of the sudden stopped one day. We are able to call each other with no problem. I've searched for an answer to this, but couldn't find anyone else with this particular issue...
Thank you!!!

You're welcome.
Tell her to update the Preferred Roaming List for her cell phone which Verizon recommends every subscriber do on a regular basis - once a quarter at least. This doesn't sound like it should or will have anything to do with this particular problem, but it can.

  • TS2755 How come I cannot send or receive text messages from one of my contacts yet I can call the person from teh same number?

    I have tried to send a text message to one of my contacts but it is never received and I am told they have sent me texts that I have never received.  We both have the correct tel numbers in the contact info. The message shows as sent in green.  Any ideas why or how to fix this.  I already have the most up to date iOS in the phone (iPhone 5).

    Contact your carrier. SMS messaging is completely reliant on the carrier.

  • Iphone 4 cannot send or receive text message

    I just got my iphone 4 yeaterday. Everything works fine except for the text messages. I can make and receive call, but cannot send or receive text messages. Does anyone have this problam?
    After I hit "send", it sounds message sent successfully, but my friend did not get it. Also I asked my friend to send one to me, nothing!

    it's a software issue... a lot of customers are having all kinds of issues with their new iPhone 4. But, don't be dismayed, there may be a way to fix it.
    some ideas is trying going to settings -> general -> rest -> then tap on "Rest Network Settings". This will then rest all the of network settings, and hopefully fix transmitting and recieving issues that you may have with your iPhone.

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

    Each of you needs a unique Apple ID for messaging, Facetime & iCloud.

  • Cannot send or receive text messages on Pantech Breakout

    I cannot send or receive text messages on my pantech breakout. Anyone know the solution

    There could be many reasons - and you've given us no clues.  Let me ask you some questions that may help us find a solution:
    Is this a new phone, or a new account?
    Did you recently port your number to Verizon from another carrier?
    Did you recently change your plan?
    Have you been able to send and receive text messages, with this phone or another Verizon phone?
    A few background details will help.

  • I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.

    I cannot send or receive text messages from other iPhone users. I don't get an error I just don't receive any messages and the other users do not receive mine.

    Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • After transferring my contacts on to my iPhone, I cannot send or receive text messages to some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot reply!

    After transferring my contacts to my iPhone, I can no longer send or receive text messages from some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot send a reply!

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

  • Droid 2 Global-Cannot Send or Receive Text messages

    I have a Droid 2 Global and the text messaging is not working. Whenever I try to send a text I get a message that it has not been sent. I also asked a friend to text me, and the text did not come through. I tried rebooting the phone (removing the battery and such), but that was to no avail. I am unable to send or receive text messages. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Wow that must be very inconvenient! Do you know when you last able to send or receive a successful message? Are you able to send and receive e-mails? Is it possible you have a message blocking feature on your account? Are you using a third party messaging app or the standard messaging application from the handset?

  • One contact (so far) cannot send or receive text messages from my iPhone. Can someone help?

    How can I fix the problem that one contact -- so far -- cannot send me or receive text messages from me on my iphone 4s (ios 6.1.3)?

    Thank you ChrisJ4203. I checked to be sure SMS was turned on.  I found advice to restart phone and to delete history.  I restarted the phone and deleted all previous messages from that contact. He then received my last three messages, I got his reply, and we seem up and running. Thanks again for your suggestions.

  • Cannot send and receive text messages

    (1) My 4S cannot send text message using SMS/MMS, have to use iMessage. Without WiFi signal, I cannot even receive incoming text messages, unless I have to turn on Cellular Data all the time.
    (2) I cannot send picture message using SMS/MMS, have to use iMessage.

    Verizon rep fixed the text message problem.
    Here is the 2nd question.
    If there is no WiFi available and Cellular Data is OFF, I cannot send picture using SMS/MMS with iPhone 4S. SMS/MMS works for me to send picture message when I use basic phone.
    You need the Cellular Data ON to send MMS messages.  SMS messages should be able send and receive with out the cellular data on.

  • I cannot receive text messages from one friend in a group message. Any hints?

    I am in a group message with all iphones and one nokia. I have recently not been able to receive messages from one of the iphone users in the message. When he tries to respond it sends it in a new message without me (everyone else gets them). Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

    This has nothing to do with entires in Contacts. Tell your friend who's messages don't reach you:
    Settings > Messages > Goup Messages > ON, Send as SMS > ON

  • Cannot send or receive text messages.

    Bought two iphones, my wife's sends/receives texts no problem, mine does not. Mail works ok, any ideas?

    Now mail is not working on any of our accounts on the iphone. Works fine on our home networked macs, just not on the iphones. Just hangs up 'checking for mail'.
