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

I receive an error message whenever I text recently entered contacts. It says the number is invalid. I have tried entering the number with the area code and without the area code.

I receive an error message whenever I try to send text messages to new contacts. It says the number is invalid and to enter a 10 digit number. I have tried entering the phone number with the area code and without the area code. Any ideas?

Same problem here. I've deleted the contact and had them text me, but when I try to text them back I get the same invalid number message! So frustrating! Please help!

Receiving an error message when texting one number - requesting use of area code. It is there in the contact information.

Received text from friend and whole number is showing. In contact all the number shows but when texting the phone shows an error & requests the area code to be added. I have deleted the contact & the text thread then rebooted the phone but still happening. Help!

I'm sorry you're getting the +1 error message! Apple is working on a bug fix for this issue, fingers crossed it is corrected soon!
There is a work around that has helped many iPhone users experiencing this:
1. Delete the affected contacts from your phone
2. Delete the entire conversation thread
Next:
Go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings (this will delete any saved Wi-Fi passwords; no other data)
Once the phone reboots, add the contact back to your device and start a new message thread.
I hope this helps you!

Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?

For Cisco SPA112: can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit number without having to dial the area code 00357 but not for 0030?

Cisco SPA112:
Can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit numbers without having to dial the area code 00357 but also being able to dial 0030xxxxxxxxxx numbers?

If you include a country number, you have to drop the initial 0 from the area code. eg +31 10 2345 6789 instead of +31 (0)10 2345 6789

Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. What do I do?

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. I also have very weak wifi reception. What do I do?
I already tried the following:
a. Turned the phone off and then on.
b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
d. Tried resetting the phone.
e. Tried different microsims from all networks
f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”. And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced. I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada.
I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback. Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.

My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

Hi,
   I've been trying to solve this problem for a school my companey has set up. After some research and looking at a number of similar posts I tracked the problem down to loops that came with jam packs or with apps like soundtrack pro. These loops are located in /Library/audio/appleloops. If you give everyone read and write access to this folder and it items the loops seem to work.
I also noticed that once the loops were working agin GB had to convert the sample rate so it's possible that it's the sample rate on certain loops that causess the issue or prehaps the need to change the rate.
Hope this helps.

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

Thanks for any advise.

A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.
