How do I send a text message to a 5-digit number?

Hi!
A local radio station has frequent contests where you have to sent one word to a 5-digit number. How do I do his?
I've tried with my iPhone 4S, and now I have a 5S but the message never gets through.
The number is 36500.

Thanks.

OK, since I brought up the original question I HAVE sent test messages to that number. I have discovered that, for some strange reason, it will NOT go through if I either type the suggested word in the SUBJECT section, or in BOTH the SUBJECT and .
It will only go through if the word is ONLY in the Text Message section.
So, for all intents and purposes, I can now send a a message to that number. If I ever win anything, (Yeah, Right!) perhaps I'll share the prize with the 3 of you.
So, thanks to TTipgem, Ann154, and TonyG_VZW for your advice.
Actually this makes sense. Once you add text to the subject line when creating a text message it automatically turns it into a MMS message. The short code number is probably setup to ONLY receive SMS messages and blocks MMS messages.

How can I send my text message log to my computer to easily navigate?

I have texts that i havent deleted from 2009. I was trying to go through them with my girlfriend but after a few months back it would take 30 secs to a min to load more then it just got worse and worse. eventually it crashed on me after 2 hours of hitting load more messages. Is there an app or any way I can transfer those texts to my computer so we can read them easier without wasting 2 hours hitting load more texts? Any help would be very appreciated. I'd also like to do this because I want to delete them after they're transfered to free up space on my phone.
Thanks =)

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

That's a great question! You'd need to utilize the "Voice recorder" application to record and then share an audio message. You can view the instructions via Samsung's website; http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00055605/67319/SGH-M919RWATMB .
