My iphone 5 will not text one number

Have seen previous threads on this issue but none have resolved this matter for me.
There is one number that I cannot text, the other p contact a Samsung GT-S3350(Tesco) mine is on Vodafone.  I can receive texts and calls and can call the number, but texts fail to send and are all marked as Not Delivered.
I have turned both phones on and off, turned on/off iMessage, 3G, data roaming and have reset network settings. I have also deleted the contact from my phone and the other phone.
My wife has an iphone 5 and doesnt have any problems texting the number.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I did solve the problem. I assumed because the message bubble was green that my friend had another type of phone. I was completely wrong! After I just made sure iMessage was on and restarted my phone it works just fine! So I guess iMessage was the problem ☺️

  • IPhone 4s will not text ANYBODY, says 'Not Delivered' with red !

    Okay, so I am so close to smashing this thing I am so mad.
    Last night everything was working fine, I could text everyone and everything was sunshine and rainbows. Then in the middle of a conversation my texts suddenly stopped sending, saying not delivered.
    At first it was only one person, but now it's EVERYONE on my contacts, iPhone user or not!
    I've reset my phone settings, I've tried turning iMessage on and off, I turned SMS on and off, MMS on and off, I called apple and was met with a "Nobody that specializes in your apple product is available at this hour" response, I've tried adding a number to the existing phone number and then texting simply '111-2222' without the area code, I reset my roaming (or whatever that was, looked like *5000-something)
    I can receive messages, and I can call people and receive calls, I just can't SEND them!
    PLEASE, HELP ME OUT! Im going crazy!

    Try resetting network settings in the settings and then rebooting the phone.

  • IPhone 4 will not text someone who has an Android

    I have a friend who has an Android and I can't text his phone from my IPhone 4.  I have another friend who has the same phone, and he can text the Android.  Only difference is I have updated to the iOS 7.0.4 and the other IPhone user has not.

    Is the problem just with the one person? Can you text to other non-iPhone users?

  • Cannot text one number

    I can not text one number and it is driving me crazy!!  I recieved a message that says "you can only send messages to fixed dialing numbers".  I do not know what that means.  I can send texts to Verizon, and T-Mobile phones.  I can send and recieve calls from the number but I can not text.  
    This is recent that this has happened.  I was able to send and recieve texts from this one numbers, but it seems as of OCtober, I can not.  
    Is anyone else having this issue??  It is truely driving me crazy!!

    Try checking Menu / Settings / Call Settings / FDN and make sure fix dialing option isnt enabled, if this is on this can restrict in and out going items.. 
    Another thing to check with Verizon and make sure no restrictions is setup on your accounts or you can check and make sure you havent added that number to the block list on the MyVerizon area of your account.

  • IPhone 4s will not let me text to one phone number

    My iPhone 4s will not let me text to my brother's phone number.  It keeps giving the message "Error Invalid Number.  Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."  I have rebooted my phone; same problem.  I checked the number; it is correct with area code and 7-digit number.  I have no trouble texting anyone else in my contact list.  The number is not blocked. 

    I'd head to an Apple Retail Store or contact AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273

  • I recently switched from an iPhone to an Android phone. I cannot receive text messages because Apple will not "release" my number from iMessage. I see others have had the same issue. How did you solve the problem, if you did?

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 5 will not ring when my phone number is called.

    Despite the "Silent" button on the side of the iPhone 5 being set to off, and the ringer turned on full blast, my iPhone 5 will not ring when any number calls my phone. This is not an issue with the settings, which are all set for the phone to ring. Has anyone else run into this problem, or may have a solution besides taking the phone in for repair? My phone is no longer covered under the one year limited manufacturer's warranty, so any repair is likely going to cost a minimum of almost $300.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

  • Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

    At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it???  I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

  • My iPhone 5 will not send photos but will send text. I went to settings and everything seems good to go but I cannot send photos to anyone via messages...please help

    My iPhone 5 will not send photos but will send text. I went to settings and everything seems good to go but I cannot send photos to anyone via messages...please help

    When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.
