Invalid number notice when texting?

I had no trouble texting until after I signed onto iCloud. Now every time I try to text one of my contacts I get an invalid number notice (10 digits only). I went through my contacts and deleted all country codes (1) but I still can't text to a contact. Any ideas? I REALLY don't want to erase my entire contact list as one responder on the community forum suggested.

You do need the plus sign before the country code.

Error Invalid Number message when sending text

Ever since I upgraded to an iPhone 5s I get an Error Invalid Number message when sending a text to a phone number that used to work just fine from my 4s. In fact I can receive a text from this number but when I try to reply to that text I get the error message again.
I deleted the contact info in case there was something broken there and I'm trying it with just the raw phone number but without any luck. What can I do? It's my boss's number so it's important I fix this problem. All other contacts and texts are working just fine, it's just this one phone, a Samsung galaxy on T-mobile if that helps.

I am having the same exact issue with my Nokia Lumia 920 Windows phone. I was texting my son this morning when one text immediately returned a "+1 (112) 161-1611 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send u sing a vlid 10 digit mobile number" message. His contact info looked fine, but I edited it, re-saved it and tried texting again. Same result - except the number reported in the error message showed 2 "1s" in front of his mobile number. I was able to text my wife a couple of times to report this to her and then it happened with her number in exactly the same manner. I am still able to text people I work with - so this leads me to believe it has something to do with phone numbers that have been saved outside of my corporate contact list. I will be monitoring this posting to see if there is a fix.

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to one web site only, that formerly was not a problem. Happens with Safari and Google Chrome. Any ideas?

I am getting an invalid certificate notice when going to only one web site, that previously was OK. Happens with both Safari and Google Chrome. Would emptying the system cache fix the problem?

Well, it seems weird & it has no email listed, you might try contacting them to see...

Invalid number error when using case when

I have table called NATIONAL_RARE_ECOSYSTEMS which has 1 column called TEST_COLUMN (data type: varchar2):
TEST_COLUMN
rare ecosystem
rare
0
0
(null)
(null)
what I want is a query which will add a column called NRE_SCORE which will give each row instance a score of 0 if it null.
If it is 0 then score should be 0.
If the row contains any text then score should be 1
I have written the query:
SELECT
(CASE WHEN test_column is null THEN 0
WHEN test_column = 0 THEN 0
WHEN test_column > 0 THEN 1
END) AS NRE_SCORE
FROM NATIONAL_RARE_ECOSYSTEMS;
I get the error message:
ORA-01722: invalid number
01722. 00000 - "invalid number"
I think this is because on the 2nd and 3rd line I'm trying to do arithmetic on a column which is varchar2 which I know I cant do.
How do I write a query which says: if the row contains text then give score of 1?
I'm using oracle 11g.

I'm using oracle 11g.Here's one way:
SELECT       CASE
           WHEN NVL (test_column, '0') = '0'
           THEN 0
           ELSE 1
       END          AS nre_score
,       ...          -- you must want other columns, too
FROM       national_rare_ecosystems
;Since you don't really care about the numeric value, don't use NUMBERs anywhere; stick with VARCHAR2s, such as '0'.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data.
Point out where the query above is getting the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from the sample data in those palces.

Invalid number error when using external table

Hello.
I have a problem with creating an external table with number field.
My txt file looks like:
11111|text text|03718
22222|text text text|04208
33333|text|04215
I try to create external table like:
create table table_ex (
id varchar2(5),
name varchar2(100),
old_id number(5))
organization external (Type oracle_loader default directory dir
access parameters(
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
fields terminated by '|'
(id, name, old_id))
location ('file.txt'));
When i create the table and run select i get this in log file:
Field Definitions for table TABLE_EX
Record format DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
Data in file has same endianness as the platform
Rows with all null fields are accepted
Fields in Data Source:
ID CHAR (255)
Terminated by "|"
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
NAME CHAR (255)
Terminated by "|"
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
OLD_ID CHAR (255)
Terminated by "|"
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
error processing column OLD_ID in row 1 for datafile

Whats the problem?
Any idea?
Thanks

Try this:
create table table_ex
id varchar2(5),
name varchar2(100),
old_id number
organization external
(Type oracle_loader default directory dir access parameters
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE fields terminated by '|'
(id CHAR(5),
name CHAR(100),
old_id CHAR(5)

I have removed the length of Number field and added length in characters later

Error Invalid Number message in texts.

I thought I fixed this problem a month ago per another discussion's suggestions.
I had been getting the "+1(1)216116-11 Error Invalid Number Please re-send using valid 10 digit number" message even though the numbers were 10 digit.
I deleted the contacts and texts. Updated software to current iOS 7.1. Powered off then back on. Then re-entered the info.
It worked until this morning with the same 2 random contacts. But it is my son and best friend. So now I am frustrated.
I have checked more discussions and the fixes seem to be random as well. Does anyone have any new ideas?

I had this same issue to a number I had been texting daily for months! After I tried everything--I figured it out! Even after I deleted the contact and set it all back up again, it still wouldn't work and I would get the "+1(1)216116-11 Error Invalid Number Please re-send using valid 10 digit number" error message. BY chance, as I was typing in the number for a new trial text, the number popped up from "recent history" (the list of all recent texts to that number or name). Even though I had deleted ALL texts to and from her and all contact info, the number was still stored elsewhere. It dawned on me that her number and her contact info was stored in the memory as "recent text history". I had to delete every instance of a text that had her number in it (including group texts), then when I reentered it, it worked! I believe the whole thing started when someone had her incomplete number in a group text, and from then on, it was getting her number from that recent text instead of mine! I found it by accident and there HAS to be an easier way, but here are the steps:
1. Delete the name and number from your contact
2. Start a new text by typing in the first letter or so of the person's name (or the digits of the number) and they should still pop up in a drop down box
3. Instead of selecting it for the text recipient, select the little "i" beside it and a new menu will pop up (that is the RECENT menu)
4. Select REMOVE from the top right corner
5. Do this for every instance with the name and number in it
6. Try a new text--nothing should pop up when you enter the number if everything is removed. It should now work
Hope this helps someone else!

Invalid number error when calculating with sysdate

Hello - I am getting invalid number error for query below:
SELECT *
FROM
trkg
WHERE
trkg.tran_type=500
AND
trkg.mod_date_time>sysdate-0.5
I am not sure what is wrong with above query. Strange part is that it executes fine in one environmnet and returns 'invalid number' error in other environmnet? Please help me find missing setting.

more information:
Table1: LOCN_HDR with field locn_brcd and locn_id
locn_brcd locn_id

0000088 31-MAY-13 04.07.21.000000000 PM
Now I combine Table1 and Table3
select * from appwms.locn_hdr lh
join
(SELECT lh.locn_brcd,trkg.mod_Date_Time from appwms.trkg
join appwms.locn_hdr lh
on trkg.FROM_LOCN = lh.LOCN_ID
where
trkg.TRAN_TYPE = 500
and trkg.mod_Date_time>sysdate-5
) trkg1 on lh.locn_brcd=trkg1.locn_brcd
-- returns values correctly
Now when I join another table to above (ie table 2), it returns 'invalid number'
select * from appwms.locn_hdr lh
join
(SELECT lh.locn_brcd,trkg.mod_Date_Time from appwms.trkg
join appwms.locn_hdr lh
on trkg.FROM_LOCN = lh.LOCN_ID
where
trkg.TRAN_TYPE = 500
and trkg.mod_Date_time>sysdate-5
) trkg1 on lh.locn_brcd=trkg1.locn_brcd
join
(select pld.locn_id,lh.locn_brcd
from APPWMS.PICK_LOCN PLD join appwms.locn_hdr lh
on pld.locn_id = lh.LOCN_ID ) picklocn on picklocn.locn_brcd=lh.locn_brcd
why are rows returned with one join? when i have more than one join why does it return error 'invalid number'.

I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself. how do i stop this from happening?

I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

ORA-01722: invalid number error when comparing varchar and number

Hi,
We are upgrading our databases to 10g and have issue with the below query
SELECT VALUE FROM table1 WHERE SUBSTR (VALUE, 10) = 1.
In table1, VALUE is the column name and it will have data ending with number. ex: SIGNATURE1, SIGNATURE2, SIGNATURE3, SIGNATURE4....SIGNATURE9.
As output of substr is varchar, Is comparing it with number throwing the error?
If so, the same query is working perfect in another 10g database which we migrated into.
Please help.
Thanks,
Madhuri

I think its data issue. may be some data is defected where string after 10th place contains non numeric character and you are trying to compare it with 1.
My test
Case 1
Below code works fine, since all 10th place characters are digits, so can be compared with 1
with c as
(select 'SIGNATURE1' n from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE2' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE3' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE9 ' from dual )
select n,substr(n,10) from c where substr(n,10)=1
Case 2
with c as
(select 'SIGNATURE1' n from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE2' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE3' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE9a' from dual ) -------non numeric character
select n,substr(n,10) from c where substr(n,10)=1
This query shows error because , after 10th place there exists a non numeric character

Invalid number error when trying to convert a varchar2 to a number.

I need to extract the middle four numbers from a varchar2(12) and then convert it to a number. The middle four are numbers but the first four can have letters. I've tried
TO_NUMBER(substr(wptk.ext_wo_num,5,4))
TO_NUMBER(LPAD(wptk.ext_wo_num,5,4))
substr(TO_NUMBER(wptk.ext_wo_num) ,5,4)
cast as number
I need to get rid of any 0 that are at the beginning of the four numbers. Some of the data has no 0 and some can have up to three 0 at the beginning. Is there a way to do that?
thanks.

Only my number shows up when texting how to display name

only my number shows when texting, how to show name and number....

Hello Nodycart,
That is an interesting issue that your contact is showing up as a different number on another iPhone. If it is using iMessage, I would check to see that you are starting a new conversation with the right number by going to Settings > Messages and look at the Start New Conversation. That also would be a good idea to delete the current conversation thread and start a new one to test it out further.

Invalid number error for bind dialog

Oracle SQL Developer version 1.1.2.25 BUILD MAIN-25.79
Running under WinXP
Issue description:
We get an invalid number error when bind variable filled with an enter in the bind dialog

It is hard to say what is causing your problem without the specifics (ie query and value entered for the bind variable). Try running the same statement with the value of the bind variable in place of the bind variable (ie instead of running "select * from dual where dummy = :var" with a value of 'x' for :var, run "select * from dual where dummy = 'x'"). If you get the same error, then it is not an issue with the use of bind variables.
Be aware that currently you cannot define the data type of bind variables (unlike TOAD, etc) and they are all treated as character values. I wouldn't have thought that this would cause you problem unless you are using a bind variable to restrict a numeric column to a specific value and you are entering a non-numeric bind (ie "select * from people where person_id = :id" and using 'xyz' as the value for :id).

Here is some snippet code of the basic functionality I am trying to get to work:
''START CODE''
Dim connDb, cmdDoseInsert
Set connDb = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connDb.CursorLocation = adUseClient ' Setup to return RecordSet
connDb.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source={host};User ID={user id};Password={password}"
connDb.Open()
Set cmdDoseInsert = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.command")
Set cmdDoseInsert.ActiveConnection = connDb
cmdDoseInsert.CommandType = adCmdText
cmdDoseInsert.NamedParameters = true ' Set the command object to use named parameters
cmdDoseInsert.Prepared = true
cmdDoseInsert.CommandTimeout = 0
cmdDoseInsert.CommandText = "INSERT INTO TEST_SWING_TABLE (TABLE1_ID, TABLE2_ID) VALUES (:P_TABLE1_ID, :P_TABLE2_ID)"
cmdDoseInsert.Prepared = true
cmdDoseInsert.Parameters.Append cmdDoseInsert.CreateParameter("P_TABLE1_ID", adNumeric, adParamInput)
cmdDoseInsert.Parameters.Append cmdDoseInsert.CreateParameter("P_TABLE2_ID", adNumeric, adParamInput)
'... START: While Looping
     cmdDoseInsert.Parameters(0).Value = {some numeric value}
     cmdDoseInsert.Parameters(1).Value = {some numeric value}
     cmdDoseInsert.Execute
'... END: Looping
''END CODE''
What I have been able to find out so far is that there is some type of issue with numeric values getting translated right when sending two and retrieving from Oracle in ASP. So, does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this as I would like to use parameterized SQL to improve application performance?
I am connecting to a developmental server running Oracle 9.2

Ok, in my slightly larger example I found out that for what ever reason my named parameters are not being enforced, and so I had to make sure that the parameters were in the same order as they appeared in the SQL. To be on the save side, I did this when they were added as well as when I was assigning values to them.
Can anyone tell me if this is an Oracle issue or a ASP issue?
