I can receive a text from a contact but cannot send to them- both are iPhone with IOS 7

I can receive a text from one of my contacts but when I send a text back, the text is not delivered.  We both have updated iPhone 4s phones.  Neither of us is blocking and we were able to text both ways until one of us made some changes due to a son's iPod being added -then tried to change back- still doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

  • Z10 Can Receive E-mails from POP Account But Cannot Send/Reply

    I am getting seriously frustrated with the inability to send e-mail from this Z10 (bought on 3/28) through my POP account!
    I have been able to set up and successfully send through a personal Gmail account but not my "work" POP account.  Everything I have read in forums and discussed with my IP and Verizon Wireless points to a bug in the BB10 software.  In BB7, even a POP account could be set up very simply and reliably.  That was the beauty of BB - simple and reliable e-mail.
    I am getting nowhere trying to find a fix or workaround.  I reeeeeally wanted to believe that BB was back and that this would be a good phone for me, a BB fan (my third BB btw), but am just a day or two away from giving up and returning the thing.  What good is a BlackBerry if you can't send e-mails????  Please help!
    BlackBerry Help - what is the fix???!!!!  I NEED IT TODAY!!!!!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have a similar problem. I have three email accounts and two work perfectly (a hosted server and a comcast). However, my Optonline email will not send out attachments or HTML when hitting Reply or Forward. The receiver sees the basic text response and the following (below). Optonline uses port 587 and i think POP, no SSL Optonline, BB and ATT are all looking at it, but no solution yet.

  • TS2755 I recently upgraded my IPhone and for 1 person I began receiving this "7233375 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code". I receive text from this person but cannot send. Please help. Thank you.

    Hi there
    I’d be happy to help with this messaging error! This will be due to the device storing the number incorrectly. Please do the following to resolve the issue:
    Delete texts from both old number and new
    Delete any call logs including these numbers
    Delete old number from contacts
    Delete new number from contacts
    Restart device
    Send text to the new number directly (do not save as contact)
    Once the text sends successfully, you can then save as a new contact
    I hope this helps!

  • I receive my "talktalk" e-mail OK but cannot send mail?

    I receive my "talktalk" e-mail OK but cannot send mail?

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I added a contact but cannot send message to that person

    Good morning,  My daughter added my son (he has a new i-pod) to her contacts but cannot send him an instant message.  She is able to send messages to her friends etc.
    Also I have noticed she cannot get any of her hotmail emails to her ipod either. 

    When you send a Message you have to have the Subject line filled in, If not the Send button is inactive.
    You said " my son can message my daughter but she can't message him back."
    Do you mean she can't reply successfully to the his Message?

  • Why can i not receive picture texts from my contacts

    Ever since my phone upgraded to the new system, I cannot receive any picture texts from my friends.  my text messages indicate I have a new message (friends name and no subject) and when I click on it, it brings up a new text message for me to send.  I know they are pictures because I ask my friends if they had sent me something.  I use this feature a lot and it gets annoying to have my friends email it to me instead of texting it, not all my friends have smart phones and cannot email me the pictures all the time.  Can someone please help?

    Terimich6,
               Is your mobile data turned on? And if you long press on the picture in the text can you save attachment? If you can do that try viewing them in your gallery.

  • The only person my mother's iphone 4 is unable to send text to.  She can receive my texts from android.

    My mother has an iphone4; she is able to receive texts from me (android samsung galaxy s5) but I am unable to receive her texts.  I notice my phone number appears odd when my texts come in to her... we've deleted contacts and re-added.  She is able to text back and forth from my husband with his android without problem. ideas?

    Try deleting your contact from her iPhone4 (but don't re-add it back).  Also delete her contact from your Galaxy.  Send her a text and see if she can reply.  If that works, the problem has to do with the nature of your contact info; try adding the contacts back, one at a time, supplying minimum information, testing each time.

  • Is there any way i can receive a text from one number and reply to another on the same conversation?

    I have a friend who has 2 phone numbers, he sends texts from one and i have to reply to the other one.
    Is there any way i can configure the SMS conversation so: it receives texts from his 1st number and when i reply it goes to the 2nd number?
    Thank you

    I don't think it is possible to do what your friend is asking.
    He would need to call his phone carrier.
