  • 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.

    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)

  • 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.

  • TS3899 I have one message that I cannot delete.  The error message reads: The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.

    I have one message in my Inbox that I have tried numerous times to delete and I just can't get rid of it.  I have tried the instructions that the Apple Support suggests but it still didn't work.  Has anyone else had this problem?

         I'm having the same problem. Seems to have started after an update about 4 days ago.
    Mail seems to think the messages are files and won't let you have more than 1  with the same header  in the Trash mailbox. If you do away with the Trash Mailbox by having mail delete the message instead of sending it to the Trash Mailbox the problem goes away, but so does the ability to recover a mistakenly deleted message. I get a lot of messages from the same people with the same header on the message. this problem is driving me crazy and I haven't been able to find anyone with any idea of whats causing it. Your the first user I've seen with this same problem.
         Lets hope someone has an idea. I would really like to solve this without losing all of my old emails.

  • I have 1 contact that I cannot delete. Iphone5

    If I choose "all contacts, edit" the current info is greyed out, and cannot be deleted. Only new stuff can be added. Any help? The contact in question does not appear in the contacts list on my icloud account.Only on the phone. Their are "linked contacts" at the bottom, same person, "facebook and unknown" links. Using the "unlink" option does not help. Occasionally a "delete contact" option appears at the bottom of the page while I am messing around, but using this option has no effect!!

  • Anytime plus - Cannot send SMS Text but can receiv...

    Hi,
    We have been with BT for quite some time, used to regularly use our home phone to send and receive texts, but havent done for about almost a year.  This weekend my wife needed to, and sent an SMS to my iPhone.  I never received it, so we tested sending to her mobile and the same, never received.  We have sent one to the home phone and it receives ok.
    Our settings on the phones have not changed, and I checked the numbers with the BT PDF, so the settings are correct.
    Any ideas?

    I posted similar and I'm still waiting as well !

  • I have a contact that has an iPhone but when I text him it comes up as a text message and not a iMessage?

    I have lots of iPhone contacts but only have one contact that when I send them an iMessage it sends as a text message instead how do I fix or is it on there end?

    You both have to have iMessages turned on, you both have to be on iOS 5.0 or higher and you both have to be on an official carrier
    oh and you both have to be on 3G or wifi
    if one of you doesnt have 3G or wifi at the time then it will send as a text message
    I don't have a 3G data plan so my iMessages only send over wifi, and when an iphone is asleep the wifi turns off so I receive iMessages as text messages, but when my wifi is connected it works perfectly

  • I have 2 people in my contacts that I'm unable to text. The SEND button does not respond

    I Have 2 contacts that I'm unable to text to. The SEND button does not respond. Other contacts will send message.

    Hi Gaylene1949,
    So the issue is isolated to two contacts only.
    There are a couple sections in this article for troubleshooting contact specific issues.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    and
    If you still can't send or receive SMS, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact who's trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that you're using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need to use the contact's international code.
    If you're using a "Pay as you go" SMS plan, make sure it has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if you're unsure of your SMS plan or the available balance.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I have a macbook (late 2011). I have a yahoo and gmail act.'s configured wrong in mailbox. Every time I attempt to send, the email comes back stating that yahoo cannot send with the server. I have changed things around to no avail. Please advise.

    I have a macbook pro (late 2011) OS X Yosemite 10.10. I have 2 acct.’s set up in mailbox, Yahoo and Gmail, but it will not send. The message comes back stating that Yahoo cannot ‘send using the server’....I have manipulated things around but to no avail. Both acct.’s receive, but will not send. Can someone provide some answers? Thanks.

    Hi whineyfromleessummit, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're not able to send email from Yahoo or Gmail on your MacBook Pro. 
    There could be several causes of the behavior. I would start with the troubleshooting steps in the "Mail Connection Doctor shows one or more red dots in the account Status column" section of this article:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    This article contains a variety of steps that can help resolve an issue like the one you're seeing. 
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages - Apple Support
    Google Mail recently implemented additional security measures "for your protection" of course. The manifestation of that may be the requirement to create a unique, "application-specific" password for each one of the various Google services you may use. That requirement probably includes Google Mail. So if the above Apple Support document doesn't resolve the problem, research Google's application-specific password requirements, and how to configure Mail to use it.
    I asked the Hosts to edit or obscure the email address in your post.
