HT3529 Unable to text one contact

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3
I can text all my contacts apart from my partner who has a Samsung Galaxy mini
Texts stopped from me to him in December.My number is not blocked on his phone and if i put my simm in another phone I can text him.
I receive his texts ok
I have turned off my imessaging
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Glad to help.
What happens when you send? Does it fail?
Do you get an error?
There are a couple things we can try.
First, quit all apps (Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for eack open app) and then Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
You can also try deleting any old conversations with him
Try deleting him from your contacts and manually re-add him

  • 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.

  • When texting one contact bubbles are blue instead of green, and texts sent are not being received, how do i sort this? cheers

    when texting a friend, bubbles are blue instead of green and they dont receive the message. this is only happening with one contact,why's this happening and what can i do to sort it? cheers

    Blue bubbles are using for iMessages, so problem with receiving is in iMessage.

  • I am unable to text one certain person

    I can not text one person but able to text others

    Don't know if that person had an iPhone but now uses some other smartphone.  That can be a problem if they didn't deregister, becuase your iPhone may think they are an iMessgae contact.

        scottbejou,
    Thanks for the info.  Have you tested in safe mode? http://vz.to/1z2K1Ql  Let us know the results.
    Also, please see if you're able to text through another application such as Verizon Messages.  If it is not already on your phone, then you can download through the play store.  More information here; http://vz.to/1loBVkj.
    Hope this helps!

  • Unable to text a contact on Droid Turbo

    I just made the switch from iPhone to Droid and so far not a good experience. I'm trying to compose a new text message and I keep receiving this error...
    Invalid Recipient...will not be added to the recipient list
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I deleted contact then added to contacts and works fine now. I think one of the numbers got added as a fax number when transferred from the dark side. So just make sure they are described correctly, mobile, work, home,etc...

  • Not able text one contact for last 5 days. Its not his phone. I'm receiving his texts OK

    My friend has stopped receiving my texts about 4 days ago. I get his OK. Its not his phone as he sens & receives texts from his other contacts

    Actually, since you are receiving his texts just fine, I would suggest you also have him contact his carrier to see why his inbound texts from you are not getting to him.  It could be a problem with his carrier not accepting traffic from your carrier.

    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?

  • TS2755 I am frequently unable to send iMessages to one contact.

    I am able to recieve iMessages from all my contacts whenever we are both connected to the Internet, but I am frequency unable to send any to one contact, I can recieve her iMessages, but always find it sends via text message seconds later. Has anyone else had this problem before? Do you know how to solve it?

    SETTINGS - MESSAGES - SEND AS SMS - OFF
    Now, your iMessages will not be converted to ordinary text messages whenever iMessage is not available for any reason.

    You can also try out few things >
    1) check if the ipod constantly appears in mycomputer section .
    - if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
    2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer

    The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
    connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.
