My iphone wont recognise an international code so wont let me sms

i cannot send an sms to my husband overseas as the iphone sends it but it is not being received.  his contact appears as a duplicate in my sms messages (one which contains his messages and the other contains mine).  I can receive from him, i can call him but cannot send SMS to him.  I have tried all settings, restore, remove contact, named him differently but nothing. 

I am sorry I  took so long to reply, but I was searching through other discussions about international dialing codes that may be of assistance:

  • HT3529 My iPhone wont let me send text message to numbers with different area code how do I fix this?

    My iPhone wont let me send text messages to numbers with a different area code. How do I fix this so I can send texts to these numbers?

    If it shows up in iTunes and you can sync the phone, could be that the docking port is damaged.
    You should get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contacting Apple:

    My iPhone wont let me download some apps that i have payed for on on my account; it says my iPhone is not authorized for this computer, but it is.

    No, iTunes never says an iPhone is not authorized.
    This is occurring on a computer, correct?
    Is the computer authorized for the account the media or apps were acquired with?

    You can create a new Apple ID without using a credit card for download free apps by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.  Follow it exactly as writtien.  Note that you have to download and try to install a free app and then create the ID.

  • I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

    I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

    There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS.  I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
    I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple.  Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
    Wait a few hours and then try again.

  • My iPhone wont let me look at my messages everytime I click on the icon it just freezes there,and then aborts its self out. My friend sent me all these pictures and I think that's why? How do I fix it? HELP!

    My iPhone wont let me open my text messages.  Everytime I click on the icon it freezes there for a minute and then aborts itself. My friend sent me a whole bunch of pictures at once and I believe that's why. I need a solution! HELP! Please.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning?

    my iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since  the update this morning? does anyone know how to fix this ive foiund a few people on google today its happened to?

    I suspect the error message you saw earlier said something like "the maximum number of free iCloud accounts have already been created" or something similar, which is often associated with a 403 error.
    When you get that message it means that three iCloud accounts have already been created on your device and you cannot create another one.  This often happens when you purchase a used device and the previous owner already used up all of the alloted iCloud accounts on it.  When this happens, all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account on another iOS device or Mac when you have one.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.
