HT204065 Text messeges cannot be recieved to one contact?

Hi, one of my contacts can't recieve my text messages, I can call this number and they can message me however they can't recieve my messages still, we have spoken on text before but only a few days ago my messages weren't being received on their end, I can send and recieve messages from every other contact and so can the contact I am trying to text. I have been in contact with the phone company twice and they said it should be fine and to contact Apple, please help me, what could be the problem??? Also the recipient is not an apple user.

I sent a message to my wife last night from my MBP and it went 100%, today, she "cannot accept file transfer". What is going on? No, my wife's iPhone is still on IOS6. She is waiting for the upgrade dust to settle before she will jump into IOS7. I wonder if that has anything to do with the sudden change?

Cannot Video Call with one Contact Anymore

I am having this problem where my friend and I, who could video call last week, cannot anymore. The sound works but we cannot communicate via video. All video settings are good, and I can see my camera in the lower right but neither of us receives the video. I have the latest version of skype, that I downloaded the update for today, for Windows and my friend has the latest version for Mac (just redownloaded it to be sure). Even so, we cannot skype using video anymore. To be clear, I can still skype with other contacts. I tested it to be sure, and I can see them and they can see me. It's just this one contact now.
What could be the problem or solution?

Obviously this is stumping people. I don't know if this matters, but I forgot one detail. I'm in the USA and my contact is in the UK.

BBM cannot be received by ONE contact

I've seen a number of posts with siimilar, if not my exact problem but no one seems to know the solution. Can someone who has resolved this issue previously help out please?
I will reiterate the issue: Out of the blue, all BBM messages sent by my 9900 to one particular contact does not get delivered. Anything my BB transmits (status updates, picture change) just does not get received by this person. I am able to receive everything (including updates) from this person however. Otherwise, BBM works like normal with everyone else. PIN also works normally, and the particular person was able to receive my PIN messages like normal. I've tried registering with host routing table, resending service books, battery pulls, uninstall and reinstall BBM, but nothing works.
The only thing that works is using a simcard from another provider. As soon as the device gets registered, I am able to send and get my messages delivered immediately to the particular person mentioned above. Is this an issue with my carrier or RIM or my blackberry? I'm with AT&T and this problem started this afternoon and is still a problem almost 12 hours later.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks
Anthony

I don't have his email address set up with his contact information, only his cell number. I went so far as to manually enter his phone number into the 'To:' field. Just came up with his name and still sent an iMessage but he did not receive it.
My phone only has one contact card for him and I'm still confused as to why I can receive massages from him but as normal SMS as opposed to iMessage but my iMessage says its sent with no errors and he doesn't receive

CANNOT GET BBMS FROM ONE CONTACT ON LIST ONLY

I am unable to receive BBMs from one particular contact on my BBM list. I was mid-conversation with the person and all of a sudden they were not responding. I can PIN/text/call the person but cannot receive their BBMs. They receive mine, but I do not see that a little R stating that have read my messages. I can see when they update their picture, but not their status. When they try to send me a message they only get a check, no D or R showing that it went through. They are able to BBM other people on their list, just not me. I have done multiple battery pulls, i even uninstalled and re-installed BBM. I have deleted them on my BBM list, and in my contacts and re-added them, nothing. I checked my activity logs and didnt see any errors relating to BBM. Can anyone help with this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
The other person should probably do thes steps as well. Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

Blackberry Messenger: Cannot receive message from one contact only

I have been using Blackberry messenger since a few months ago. It has been working fine until 3 weeks ago that it stopped working with only one of my contacts:
I message with my friend every day and out of the blue one day I can't receive any messages from him anymore, and all the messages I send to him would only turn to "d" status even he's read them already (and he'd appear as away on my contact list with a little clock next to the smiley... messages never turn to "R").
My handheld is on a BES and his isn't. I am in the US and he is in Europe. Not sure if that's the reason... but I have other contacts that are either on or not on the same BES and there's no problem with them. He also has contacts that are in the US as well and doesn't have any problem with them either...
We have tried battery pull, shortening name, deleting and re-adding and no luck.
Can any one please help? Thanks!

Welcome Tiramisucat; I have the same problem and a few others share your frustration. There is one BB user who reported today that he finally fixed his problem with the assistance of RIM. You can read about his experience in the following thread BlackBerry Support Community Forums : Smartphones : BlackBerry 8300 Series Smartphone - BlackBerry Curve : Re: PENDING blackberry messenger contact.

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.

I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

I have one contact that I can call but cannot text. A return text states it is an invalid number. How can I fix it?

I have one contact that I can call but cannot text. A return text states it is an invalid number. I have erased and re-entered the contact, changed phone identification and tried resetting the network - none have worked. What else can I try?

What kind of phone is this person using? If this is an iPhone, are you logged into iMessage. If this is not an iMessage, then I suggest you both contact AT&T. SMS which is what is used between non-iPhone devices or between an iPhone and non-iPhone device are a carrier function. There is no setting in iOS or on the iPhone that deals with SMS. If you are able to send iMessage and/or SMS to other people, then AT&T needs to either look into your account to ensure SMS is configured, or they need to look at this other person's phone to see what it is reporting as its number since it is coming back invalid for you.

Cannot text one contact

I cannot text one contact, my father, who is on the same account as me. I have Moto X, contact has iPhone 5. Have deleted contact and turned off/on phone. Texts from either end do not go through.

Does your father receive texts from other people? Could he possibly have you blocked (inadvertently or otherwise?). Call Verizon customer service and have them check the provisioning on his line to ensure texting is fully enabled.
Is he trying to send you an iMessage text? Have him turn off iMessages and send a regular text.

I I can recieve text messeges and when I try to reply the send button is shut off???

i can recieve text messeges and when i try to reply the send button and place to write text is non useable

Go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field and make sure it's set to Off.

I have one contact that I cannot send a text to. Can make a phone connection. Says invalid

I have one contact I can't send a text to. Can make phone connection. Says invalid # of digits.

Then the problem is on the other end and not yours.

I can receive text but cannot send text msgs

I can receive text but cannot send text msgs,can make outgoing calls..with full signals on my network provider and everytime i send message it displays" not delivered" and when i tap the retry it failed to send again.

I have a Nokia N96 and i can recieve texts, but i am unable to send ones, i have signal and everything, i got told to make sure that there is a mobile phone looking number on the messaging center, if there is no one, contact my phone provider, but there is a number, and it still will not send texts. Is the mobile number in the messaging center, my actual phone number??
Sorry i asked this on you discussion, but its soo confusing .
The mobile phone looking number is what you call the message center number. Contact your service provider to get the actual one. Then, make sure that you have the same number updated in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text messages -> Msg. centre in use.
This is not your "actual phone number".

Cannot send iMessages to one of my contacts

I have a new iPhone 5s. iMessages work with all of my other iPhone contacts, but one. It worked with him intermittently and now has stopped completely. For a few days the only thing I could do was send him Texts (which came up in green on my screen), but he never received them. And when I 'push' the iMessages out as a text, he never get them. When I try to send this one contact an iMessage, it immediately comes up with "not delivered" with a '!' symbol. I re-try several times but it doesn't work. I have shut messages off and on several time, shut my phone off and restarted it, deleted him from my contact list and added back. Nothing seems to work. He cannot send me anything either. He has an older iPhone, without the upgrade (I think) and he says I have a green dot, not a blue one. I don't know the old operating system, so I don't know what he has on his screen. Please, please help. It is important that I have easy messaging capability with this contact. Sorry to be so long... but the AT&T store people were not able to help me. Very frustrating!

It may be an issue at Apple's end. Check the link below.

Classic - text ringtones work for one contact but not for others

Just got the new Blackberry classic. I'm having trouble with the ringtones for the text messages. The custom ringtone works for one contact but not for the others. I have taken the same custom ringtone that works for contact A and used it for contact B but it only works for A. B sounds the default ringtone from the default profile instead of the custom ringtone.
I have deleted all contacts and done a re-sync thinking something was corrupt. That didn't work.
None of the contacts have a link.
I have changed the notification profile and it still doesn't work.
I have deleted a contact and recreated it manually. It still doesn't work.
I finally deleted my dad's contact and from the phone app created a new contact. I set a custom ringtone for him and it worked. I of course had to recreate all his other information manually. Please tell me there is some other way to fix this than recreating manually all 147 contacts in my contact list.
I read that if the phone number has the hypen or space it won't work, but my dad's contact info that I created from the phone app has the hypen and it rings with the custom ringtone. Also contact A has no hypen in the phone number and it rings the custom ringtone. So that didn't seem to matter.
I have spent hours on Google and see that lots of people have had this problem (but not everyone) but have not yet found a solution.
Surely someone has found a fix for this issue.

Make sure that the contact has "Mobile" as the field for her number and not "iPhone".
Note that the iPad cannot send SMS messages.

Texts not going through to one contact

Hi there - I've been trying to look up how to fix this for ages, but can't find anything that solves it.
On July 7th, texts to one contact stopped going through. I could still recieve texts from him, but he can't receive any that I send. He has AT&T as a provider. He is getting texts from other people, and I can send texts to other people just fine. I am not sure what the problem is. I have tried *288 and option 1, I have tried taking the battery out, I even did a full reset of my phone, and cleared everything (including my pictures.. ) but nothing worked.
This is the contact that I text the most, so I don't know if I hit some sort of limit or what.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Hi everyone!
I would like to contribute more information that would be helpful. Typically if its an issue with text messages not transmitting to and/or from only one person or one carrier, it's probably something I can resolve by escalating this to our network team that will work with the other carrier to get this fixed.
Please PM me with your name and mobile number and the mobile number of the person you can't message with. I will escalate from there.
Thank you everyone!
