IPhone 4 wont send a text to one person

i am unable to send a text to one person in my contacts. i have tried everything i deleted the contact and re input it. the only thing is when i start a new message the phone number comes up as other even though the contact has been deleted. Please Heelp

I've been having this problem as well, and it's incredibly frustrating. I called Verizon Customer Service and they were unable to help me, and I'm at a total loss. The person who is not receiving my texts is on a Droid and has T-Mobile. I was able to text her without any problems until Tuesday evening. She can text me, but she does not receive my text messages. There is no problem with actual phone calls. I already tried deleting the contact and resetting my network settings.

Thank you for reaching out to us, labrylao4. Regarding the issues with messaging, is this affecting only SMS, iMessages, or both? When you or her try to send each other messages, do you receive any error messages while it is sending? If it is for iMessages, have you tried to send while connected to WiFi?

My iphone 3GS wont receive any texts from one person.

I've tried restoring it and also making it a new device but nothing I do works. It started the day before thanksgiving when it completely died on me. I went to charge it and it showed the "connect to itunes" logo. When I did this morning I wasn't able to receive a single message from my friend. Other people would be able to respond but that one person wasnt able too. What should I do?

Contact both carriers.
There is nothing in iOS6 to prevent specific users from contacting you.
If it is truly SMS and not iMessage, then it is entirely a carrier issue.

My iphone wont send all texts to droid user

Ok. You know how when 2 iphone/apple users are texting and both have the same software update with the Icloud that their conversation bubbles in the text message are grey and blue. Grey being what they sent you and Blue what you sent them. Furthermore, when you are texting a non-iphone/apple user the conversation bubbles are Grey*what they sent you* and Green*what you sent them*
Now my fiance switched from her iphone 3gs to a Droid just 2 days ago.
I have a 3gs as well and we have noticed if I or her friends using an Iphone send a text message to her and it shows up on our phones as a blue conversation bubble *as if she still has her iphone* she does not receive our texts. But if our phones send her a text and they come up as a green conversation bubble, she gets them..
any idea on how to fix this to where all of our texts we send to her come up as a normal Green conversation bubble since she is no longer an iphone user.
We are constantly busy and need to be in contact with each other.
PLEASE HELP ASAP

My husband has a new Droid (used to use an Iphone) and I have a new Iphone (used to have a 4, now have a 4S). All texts I sent to him came back to my phone. How we finally solved the problem:
1) Turned out I'd registered my phone under his ICloud account. I went onto the Apple site and registered an account with ICloud.
2) My husband unregistered his old Iphone per the above advice.
3) I went into Settings - ICloud - and all the way at the bottom of that screen, selected "delete account" and deleted the account.
4) Going back into ICloud, I re-registered under my new ID.
5) We both rebooted our phones.
Solved!
Hope that helps.

HT1349 my iphone wont send normal text messages to one person but it works for everyone else, what do i do?

neeeed help!

Msg 2114 error when i try to text this one person with my iPhone 4S???

I seem to have an issue when i try to text this one person.....
They do NOT recieve my texts.....but i can recieve theirs.
I get a message after i send them a text from 923-0 that says i used the invalid number of digits.....MSG 2114
Tried deleting the contact , resending just using the number hand typed in...and still does not work!
HELP!!!

Finally Worked! Remove all instances of the contact name and number used in previous messages, phone calls, recents, etc. Shut down sms, mms, imessage, etc in settings. Restart phone. Go back to settings and restart sms, mms, imessage. Send a text without creating the contact first, just enter the 10 digit cell number and send text. Worked for my iphone 4s texting to 1 person's android I couldn't send before. That 1 person was a previous contact that had only 7 digits entered for the phone number. Now I added that contact back to the list and sending text still works. Contact phone number now shows up as +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx . Thanks wjosten.

Whenever I text this one person, his messages come up green. He has an iPhone and so do I, I can't figure out why our messages are green

Whenever I text this one person, his messages come up green. He has an iPhone and so do I, I can't figure out why our messages are green
We've tried reactivating iMessage, deleting threads, and contacts but nothing seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else?

Restart both devices (press the HOME and power button until the Apple logo appears then releasae). If both devices have iMessage turned on and to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, the the green messages are indicative of iMessage not being available on one or both devices.

Unable to send a text to one specific person?

I have an iPhone 4S , for some reason it is not allowing me to send a text to one specific person
This person has an iPhone 4, when I try to send the text it says 'not delivered'
However if they send me a text I am able to reply?
What could be causing this how can we solve it?

Hi
I have now deleted them from Facebook , deleted them from my contacts
And then put contact back in
It now works
Thanks

Iphone 4 will not allow me to send or respond to one person only

iphone 4 will not allow me to send or respond to one person only. Can receive texts from them but cannot respond error message 923-0. Saying invalid number of digits msg 2114

This error looks like a carrier message. Does this person have an iOS device? It appears not, but this looks like an SMS error. I suggest that you contact your carrier to see if they can explain the error.

Cant send or receive texts from one person....why?

I have a palm pixi and I cant send or receive texts from one person...why? when I send a message to this person the message just disappears. anything I can do to fix this?
Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

This is a common problem.... I was having it too. The only solution I found is to go into device info, reset options and then choose erase apps and data. It solved the problem. All the contact info is backed up so you don't lose your data.

My iphone 4 shuts off and won't come back on and sometimes when i send a text the other person gets a blank message. Just got this phone and really don't want to put up with a bunch of problems

I just got the i phone 4 on Friday and it has shut off and not come back on twice. I was able to get it to come on by holding the top button down for a few seconds but i don't want to have to do that. Also, i am having a problem with texting, i will send a text and the person on the other end says that I have sent a blank text. Just need to know if this is something that is going to continue because if so then I will take it back and get a Droid

Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi! I'm also having the same problem. I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider). We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November. Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her, I don't receive any of the texts that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it. They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone. Do I have an incorrect setting? I'm not sure what could have happened. PLEASE help!

Problems receiving text from one person

got my iphone 5 on sept 21st and haven't been able to receive text from one person, he has virgin mobile and i have verizon, i've gotten them from everyone else, i'm able to send texts too
i recently switched from virgin mobile to verizon
i've called verizon and they said there isn't a problem
i've called virgin mobile and they don't have a problem either
HELP

Could be something wrong on the other persons end...this one is hard to call if it's only happening with one number. Are the text long (longer than 140 or 160 characters)? Try asking them to sending a short one (just type "testing" and send it)...see if that goes through. I would lean more towards the issue being on their end if you're saying you can send them to him fine...you're just not receiving them.

IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
I've tried:
• deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
• deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
• hard resetting the iPhone
• ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
• screaming from my back porch
Ideas?
Email Account type: IMAP
Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
Port: 587
8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

One thing that might help.
If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
Host Name:
Use SSL:
Authentication:
Server Port:
If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
Both are free email services.
If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Hope this helps.
