My Iphone 4 will not send text messages to one contact

A week ago my friend just stopped receiving my text messages.  I have an Iphone 4 on Verizon and she has a Samsung Smart phone on Sprint network.  I am able to get hers and when I reply mine look as if they are going through but she does not get them. I have tried deleting her as a contact, re-entering her..she has done the same on her end. I have reset settings and nothing helps! Any ideas?? We thought it was her phone and she took it to Sprint an it is not. I am able to send and receive text messages to all of my other contacts.

Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

  • Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages

    Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon. 

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

    A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.

  • Droid maxx hd will not send text messages

    Is anyone else having this problem? Phone started not sending text messages. I have deleted Apps, pics, texts, etc and it starts to work for a bit then does the same thing.

    Have you tried clearing system cache on your phone, I'd clear cache's for your Text messages then clear the system cache, make sure to power cycle your phone this can help as well..

  • Iphone 5 will not type text messages in vertical position.  Only in landscape position??

    My iphone 5 will only allow me to type and send text messages while holding it in a horizontal/landscape position. (screen is not locked).  How do I fix this?

    Hello there, clm90.
    When having issues with normal iOS functionality, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some good pointers to attempt resolving them:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    In your case, step 4 may not be applicable, but the remaining steps can be useful in pinpointing a solution.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    ARe you provisioned by your cell provider to use MMS?
    Last option is to contact your cell provider as MMS is a carrier feature.

  • Iphone 5 will not deliver text messages

    I phone 5 will not send or receive text messages, red message pops up "Not Delivered".  It will send and receive text messages only if a picture is attached.  I have confirmed with my service provider that text messaging is included and part of the phone service.  iMessage and FaceTime when turned on says "waiting for activation".  Took the phone to Apple store the other day.  After 3 hours they reset the phone several times, checked the software, and did who know what else only to tell me iMessage was down or being worked on and it should work in a little while.  To ensure it was not a hardware issue I pressed Apple for a little insurance, they swaped the orgnal phone for a new phone.  This did not fix the issue.  Still no text message.

    Having the same problem here. Stuck at work so I haven't had a chance to look into it, but everything else (data/voice/etc) works fine, so I have a hard time believing the phone is to blame. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • IPhone 6 plus will not send text messages

    I just got an iPhone 6 plus and am having trouble with text messages. I try to send a simple several sentence text message (no photos) and it appears to start to send but gets hung up and never completes. I tried turning iMessage on and off, tried resetting the network several times, but it still hangs up. I am using Tmobile service but I am connected to my home WiFi.

    Hello, Claire. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are unable to send messages and have tried a couple troubleshooting steps with the issue persisting.  I would recommend going through the steps in the article below as there may be a couple steps that may help.  You may also need to reach out to T-Mobile to make sure your account is provisioned correctly.

  • My iPhone 5 will not send texts to a few numbers

    Most imessages and texts go through just fine, however, I have 3 numbers that I used to be able to text without any issues, and now I can receive messages from such numbers, however, I get a "not delivered" error message when I try to respond. I have checked my settings with my mom's iphone and theyre identicle but she has no problem imessaging the numbers. All of my software is current. 
    How can I fix this?

    You have the opportunity to delete your message history and contact profile for the ones you are having trouble sending sms too and then reboot your device. If unsuccessful you may have to backup and restore as new ***Do Not Restore from Backup*** It has been known to be an issue. Once you restore your device to new retest your sending sms. If you choose to restore from backup and retest sending and it fails again, please restore as new.

  • I am having a problem with sending text messages to ONE contact

    We were texting just fine until Sunday night. We text several times a day.
    As of Monday a text will not go through to my daughters phone. I have done a system reset on my phone, I have cleared the system cache, I tried a different message app, cleared the app cache for the verizon message  app, I spent over an hour on the phone with Verizon tech supportthis morning talking to 3 or 4 different people.
    I removed her as a contact and deleted our message thread, restarted my phone and tried to send a text via direct dial--didn't work. I can not send a text to this number via my note 4 OR the verizon messaging app on my computer. She is on AT&T. She also spent time on the phone with her carrier going through a lot of steps to figure out if the problem was on her end. They say it is a problem on my end.
    I had done no system updates or added new apps between going to bed Sunday after our last message and waking up Monday not being able to text her.
    Any ideas ?

    Do you use any apps to block calls or texts from people or maybe have a caller ID app that also has it in their app. I would research that. As to me it seems an app on your phone is blocking you. Reason I say that is when you do a system restore on your phone the apps that were saved on your phone via the cloud or even in google playstore sometimes adds them back automatically when you load your account back on there. Here is just a suggestion to try and see if it is on Verizon end or the phone and apps itself. Make a new gmail account on the computer. Then reset your phone and clear cache out and use that gmail address on your phone instead of your current google account and see if you can then send a text. If you can then it is an app that is downloading that is blocking you. That is what it sounds like to me more than anything.

  • I can't send text message to one contact

    No, you are not missing it. That feature is not available on the iPhone.

  • MMS is on but still will not send picture messages

    Every now and then I have a problem where my iPhone 4 will not send picture messages. I have checked MMS and it is on as well as cellular data and everything else involving sending or revieving data (except for mobile hotspot, but that's irrelevant).
    It will send pictures via iMessage (I sent a picture to an iTouch)
    it will not send pictures via text message.
    it WILL send text messages.
    turning WiFi off or on does not affect outcome
    turning MMS off to try to send via iMessage through WiFi results in the picture icon going away
    I've tried turning the phone on and off.
    I'm thinking there might be an error with the SIM card, where it may not think I can send picture messages...
    When sending to someone who has an iPhone, it will not try to send via iMessage it goes straight to text message.
    nothing works
    please help
    thanks.

    nevermind, I got it to work. Still don't know what happened, though...
