IPhone 6 not sending messages to some contacts?

Iphone 6 will not send text messages to some of my contacts. It will say ENABLE iMESSAGE TO SEND THIS MESSAGE... But iMessage IS enabled and I'm trying to text someone who doesn't have an iPhone anyway. SMS MMS is on.  I just updated the software in case that was the issue, but that didn't help.
help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey there MeenaVee,
If you are still unable to send to some of your contacts, use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help get that resolved:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
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.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Macbook will not send SMS to some contacts

    I have an iPhone 6 and have synced it with my iPad Mini and my Macbook Pro 2012. I have no troubles with SMS or iMessage on my iPad or my phone but, for some reason, my macbook will not send messages to a select few SMS contacts.

    I realize my Macbook cannot send any SMS on its own nor can the iPad. That should be common sense for everyone by now. I have that feature but it is on and off for one specific contact and I just can't figure out how to fix it. could it be on their end?

  • Iphone 5 not sending sms to 1 contact

    bought the iphone 5 last month and i am on EE. about 2 weeks ago my phone stopped sending sms to one contact. I receive theirs but they never get mine. ive reset phone back to factory settings, reset network settings, deleted and readded contact and still nothing. EE claim its common problem with iphone 5 on this ios setting but have no info on how to fix it. any help is greatly appreciated.

    It says they are sent from my end, no exclamation marks at all. The other person has got a nokia (i think, looks like an imitation of the blackberry) and is on tesco mobile. i have gone through their phone and theyve not blocked me, i can still make calls to them fine. As far as i am aware, this is the only contact they dont send to. I have looked online and have seen some iphone users claiming it is a glitch with the iOS setting??

  • IPhone 5 not sending messages through to some of my contacts

    My son and I both got iPhone 5's last Wednesday. Our settings are identical, yet I have a few friends on my contact list who are not receiving my texts (I deleted them and re added them making sure the area code was included). No luck. My son can text them from his phone and they receive his...strange. I have iMessage and wifi turned off. I've tried it numerous ways....even a restore! I can do a hard reboot then text my friend....SHE GETS IT! And will text me letting me know, however if I respond back she goes back to not getting them. What is going on?? Have been on tech support several times and they tell me to return the phone cause they don't know. It took 3 weeks to get my phone and of course our Verizon store have none in stock. Is it really the phone or carrier? Been on support with both! Anyone else with this problem?

    I think I fixed it!!!! I had two friends in particular who wasn't getting my texts. This is what I did,
    1) Hard reboot....which means hold your home button and power button down at same time and hold until apple sign appears.
    2) Delete any texts and conversations from the person/s not receiving your texts.
    3) Delete these people completely from your contacts
    4) Re enter them, making sure you include the area code.
    5) Send them a text
    I should note that I have Wifi and iMessage off when I texted my 2 friends. They both rec'd my texts and we texted back and forth to make sure it was all good....appears so!!!!! Will try it tomorrow with iMessage and Wifi on.
    I hope this works for you and anyone else having this problem! Let me know! :)

  • HT1688 my iphone 5 will now not send messages to one contact...I've been on the phone with AT&T, gone into the store and then talked to apple

    I've erased and reset and then restored from iCloud.  Help! 

    Turn on your iPhone and navigate to the 'Settings' application. Select 'Messages' - it should be in the fourth or so column of apps, and make sure your MMS setting is turned on.

  • HT4245 My iPhone will not send messages to my iPad why?

    My iPhone was iMessageing my iPad just fine then today it jus stopped the message would start sending then stop right b4 it was finished now neither can get the others message

    A simple search of the forums or google would have provided the answer and negated the need to ask a question that has been asked dozens of times today.

  • Why wont my iphone 4 32GB send messages to just one person

    My iPhone will not send messages to my boyfriend and him only although i can receive his texts messages, i am on an irish network called 3 but he is on one called vodafone ( also irish) it is only his phone who cant receive my texts and i have tried everything that i have looked up on the internet icluding putting a number @ the end of his to get his orignal num and send to that i have trie turning my phone on and off i have tried group messages but none of this is working, as you can guess this is extremely frustrating and espicially so seen as i paid alot of money for this phone and expect it to actually work!!!!! im looking for good clear advice that someone who doesnt know all the technical bits of the phone to can understand and implement this to make my phone work please!!

    If you get a red ( not sent ) warning when you send to the same person, but will send to others, then delete all messages from that person from phone and try again. Worked for me. You may have to delete all messages from everyone completly as i had to to solve problem so it would send to one friend.

  • I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously all texts would send. The red exclamation mark appears and 'not 'delivered' shows on screen.

    First time I've used this discussion forum, so may be posting problem twice! I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously I could send texts whenever I wanted. The exclamation mark and "not delivered' shows on screen when I ry and text certain people. I know for a fact that my number is not blocked by the receipients?

    I've just realised, further to my earlier question - that the people I am trying to text do not have Iphones? Could this make a difference? (Although I have text them in the past)

  • This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy phone but the person cannot receive them; however, I can send them and it sounds like they are sent, but are not received.  I can get them from a galaxy.

    This relates to an earlier question I asked:  I have an iPhone and can send messages to a galaxy, but the person cannot receive them; however, I can receive messages from the galaxy.  I have only had an iPhone so the problem does not relate to a change in phones.  Up until about 1month ago I could send to the galaxy and they could be read.  Help!
