Issue with sending text to one person

Hi Im currently located in Jersey, and having issues sending texts to Verizon customers also, I was wondering if a fix to this issue had been found other then having to suck it up and change network providers >Comment deleted<

    Hello cselby11,
Text messages are an important form of communication and I definitely want to assist you in getting this resolved. Are you now using the stock application or a different third party application for messages? Is your girlfriend having an issue receiving text messages from other contacts or is it just from your number? Are you able to receive her text messages? What zip code are you located in? If you have a signature enabled on your messages please remove and retest. Let me know if you continue to experience difficulties so I can further assist.

  • My phone won't send texts to ONE person!

    Okay, so my best friend and I have been having this issue for WAY too long. I've gone through three phones from Verizon and this STILL happens on every single one and she's gotten two new phones.
    On and off for long periods of time, I won't receive any messages she sent me and vice versa. Every so often, something will come through, but otherwise, NOTHING. The problem fixes itself for a little while, then it just stops all together again. Now I don't even think she's getting my phone calls and I'm probably not getting any of hers either. This ONLY happens with her. All my other friends have no problem getting my texts and it's the same way with her.
    We have tried EVERYTHING. For a while, it only worked if I sent media messages. Then it only worked if I forwarded a message. Sometimes the time stamps get messed up and it will say it sent, but the time keeps changing on it every time I go to check. Other times, the time stamp will say the message was definitely sent at a specific time, but neither of us have gotten the message.
    This is getting ridiculous. Please help.

    I'm having the same exact problem with me and only one of my contacts (the one I want to talk to the most go figures ._. ). At first it worked fine then it was an intermittent problem now absolutely nothing is going through; not even phone calls. Everyone else gets my messages fine. Some are geographically farther than the one person, some are closer. Some are on Sprint, some AT&T, some Verizon. There is no common theme except she's the only one not getting them and I'm the only one not getting hers. I thought it was her phone but she got a new phone three days ago and nothing has changed. She has a HTC One X, I have a Droid Bionic. And she says everyone else gets her messages/she receives messages from everyone else fine. I thought maybe a tower was down between us but I'm not sure if that even makes sense. Anyone know what the problem could be? I'm pulling my hair out over this Thanks in advance for the replies.

  • Can't send texts to one person but can receive from them

    I am having problems sending text messages to a single number, which is also on Verizon, although I can receive texts from that number just fine. When I try to send to them, or respond to the ones I get from them, it shows up as sent on my phone like everything is fine. The other person never gets the message though.
    I have checked and they are not blocked. I can make and receive calls to this person and I can receive texts from them. It's just I can not send texts to them although my phone says they are sent.
    So far it's only this one phone number that is affected. I can text my other contacts just fine.
    I have tried taking out the battery. I tried calling *228 and my phone just says "Call not sent". I'm on a Galaxy Nexus.
    Any other ideas that I can try myself or am I down to having to go stop in a store and see what they can do about it?

    I tried adding a 1 before the area code but I have yet to get a response but I'm at work right now so I will call and check if the person got it when I go out for lunch. I will update on whether or not that worked.
    I doubt the person blocked me for multiple reasons. 1 - I live with them, we get along great and we normally text each other daily while at work. 2 - I have had someone on my account block a friend of mine before as a joke and when that person was blocked and tried to text me it told them it couldn't send. It didn't just say sent and never make it. And as I said, this person is also on Verizon so I assume it would work the same if they blocked someone.

  • Not able to send text to one person.

    My mother-in-law is able to send a text to her husband, my wife, and me but she is not able to send a text to her other daughter. We tried reseting the iphone and deleting her daughter's phone number from her iphone.  My sister-in-law was able to receive text from everyone else except my mother-in-law.  We all have an iphone 4 except my sister-in-law.  Does anybody have a solution I could try?  Thanks.....

    Thanks for the response Allan.  There is not a red dot next to the text.  It looked like it was sent successfully.I was thinking that it my be my sister-in-law's phone too but she is able to receive everybody else text except my mother-in-law.  If it had something to do with her carrier (AT & T), it would be strange that it will work for everyone except one person. I will suggest to her to call AT & T.

  • LG Cosmos 2 won't send texts to one person.

    I've never had the problem of my texts not being received, but that's happening now.  My texts send to everyone I know but one. I've tried deleting the contact and re-entering the info, taking the battery out a few times, calling *228, etc. Please help.

        Help is here chiefneedsphonehelp! We understand the need of receiving text messages at all times. Are you able to receive messages from this user? Did they check if there are restrictions on their end? If messages work with everyone else but that one person, its possible the problem is on their end. Are they a Verizon user? If so, which device do they have?
    I am looking forward to your reply so that I can better assist.
    Thank you,

  • Can't send text to one person

    Me and my husband are unable to send and rec' text to and from each other.

    I'm having the same issue!
    It all started 2 weeks ago when I tried to force an i-cloud backup which failed.  I re-booted my phone and when it came back on I had lost all my message histories (I hardly ever delete messages)
    I have been able to send and receive text messages and calls from all i-phone and android phones except for 1 android phone - my mums! She can send texts to me, and I can receive and make calls to her. She received texts from other phones.
    I have tried:-
         Airplane mode on and off.
         Switching phone off and back on
         Re-booting.
         Deleting number from phone and contacts and re-installing
         Contacted service providers who were less than helpful but say no issue at their end
    I have had an update installed since the issue occurred, and have also been able to back up i-cloud successfully since. My previously disappearing text histories never re-appeared.
    Any other suggestions? It's driving me crazy!

  • Can't Receive/Send Texts To One Person.

    We both have an iPhone 4 on Verizon.

  • Can't send texts to ONE person

    I was texting my friend perfectly fine all day through iMessage and then suddenly I couldn't send them anything. iMessage wasn't working and it wouldn't send as a text either. But it's just to them, I can text or use iMessage with any other contact in my phone.
    I tried restarting it and it didn't work.
    I tried rebooting it and it didn't work.
    I even deleted the thread and the number and it didn't work.
    We both have the iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3. Any help or suggestions to fix this as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Make sure your friend has also rebooted his phone.

  • Regarding iMessage, when i want to send text to a person in my contacts app, i've been getting a message saying the number has not been registered with iMessage.  How can one fix this problem?

    Regarding iMessage, when i want to send text to a person in my contacts app, i've been getting a message saying the number has not been registered with iMessage.  How can one fix this problem?  It works on the iPhone.

    It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
