No texting to two people on my contact list

Today I was unable to send or receive texts from my daughter and granddaughter. They have the same phone (iphone 4s) but on different carrier. I can call out, send and receive texts from others, even call my daughter that cannot receive texts. I cannot update to the new op sys due to not enough space, so it can't be due to that, although daughter has updated her phone's op sys, however its been a couple weeks since she updated, and the text issue only started today. We were able to send and receive up until yesterday afternoon. I have shut down and restarted my phone, with no success. Could it be her phone or carrier? I am waiting for her to call back, but since I saw another issue similar to this one posted, I thought I would let someone know I'm having the same issues. Daughters carrier is (ugh) AT&T.

    Hi jewelsmom,
That indeed sounds alarming! I certainly understand the importance of having access to send/receive text messages. Let's try a quick update. Please dial *228 and select option #2. Has your family members contacted their carrier? Please keep us posted, thanks!

  • TS3274 Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list?

    Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list? What do I have to do?

    You can send imessages to anyone who is using an Apple device (recent models).It will try to go via wifi but if it can't then it will try to send as an SMS and for that you need cellular capability.
    Does your iPad have cellular capability?  If not then you can't send to non-Apple devices through iMessage.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • My iphone 4 randomly dials people in my contact list.

    My iphone 4 randomly dials people in my contact list.  Any suggestions?  It may be people in my Favorites list.

    My wife's phone does this, as well as delete apps...it's because she doesn't bother to lock the phone when she puts it in her purse by tapping the sleep/wake button. Not saying this is the case with you, but I've seen this before & that's the reason why.

  • Receiving IMs from people outside my contact list

    I am receiving IM's from people that I do not know even though I have selected my Privacy Settings to Allow IMs from People in my Contacts List ONLY! This feature does NOT work. Please fix this feature to protect all of us!

    Hi, MarkJohn777, and welcome to the Community, What you are receiving are contact requests, or invitations, which arrive looking like instant messages.  Skype does not provide for a way not to receive contact invitations, or to "opt out" of receiving contact requests.  Please check the Windows Desktop Idea Board for ideas posted relating to this subject, and offer your support. Regards,Elaine

  • Two names in my contact list won't separate

    I have two names in my contact list that when I put them in separately in an email they will not separate.

    hi mary.ann - is this a question about thunderbird? (because firefox is just a browser and doesn't handle your emails)

  • All my incoming calls show unknown, even though most a from people in my contact list.  How do I correct this?

    Why do all my incoming calls show unknown, even when they are from people in my contact list?

    Hi Hedland,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to first check your caller ID settings, as mentioned in this article:
    iPhone: Understanding phone features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4515
    Caller ID
    iPhone (GSM networks)
    Turn on or off in Settings > Phone
    iPhone (CDMA networks)
    Contact your carrier for information on using Caller ID
    If your settings are correct, try the troubleshooting steps in our iPhone Assistant:

    All the best,

  • Can I have a ringtone for people on my contact list and a different tone for unknown people?

    I want to have a ringtone for people one my contact list and a different tone for people not on my contact list, which for me is always commercial that I do not even want to pick up.

    To do this, you would have to assign the ringtone to each contact individually, and then set the default tone to something different under the Sounds menu in Settings.

  • Only allow people in my Contact List to contact me...

    In my Privacy settings, I have "Only allow people in my Contact list to contact me" checked, but I just recently, within the past week, started getting spam requests from people.
    Why? I haven't touched my settings pretty much since I signed up (maybe at the beginning to get things right, but not within the past year and a half).

  • Old contacts showing up in siri and text search results but not in contacts list.

    So what I did was this. I had mobile me, and iphone ocntacts as well as contacts on phone. After updating to IOS5, i had tripples of almost all my contacts (but not all). I converted my mobile me to icloud to discover i couldnt use that email under my new official icloud accoutn as my @me.com adress. So what i did was this. I deleted my old mobile me (now icloud account) compleatly from my phone, my iPad and my computer so there is no trace of it. I then went to my new iCloud account (that i will now use as my only icloud account. going to let the old mobile me one just die so i have 1 central spot for all my stuff).  Now all my contacts are gone. So to start fresh and just be done with the confusion, i go to www.icloud.com and manually (by hand) re type in all my contacts. I updated some info and changed some names (like nicknames and stuff like that to real names). Basiclly compleatly organizing my contacts and such to the way i want them. Getting rid of poeple i no longer talk to and such.  I did it, it syned and all was well. However now here is hte problem.
    If i go to spotlight search, or text search, or search with siri, or any type of search function, all of my old contacts are still there and viewable. All the ones i wanted to get rid of are all still there. However, if i go to contacts and look for thoes old contacts, they are not in the contact list (yes iv checked every "group" and also "all contacts" in groups).  What i want is to figure out how to get all of these old contacts compleatly deleated so they dont show up anywere on my phone. Especially with siri its making searches and auto calling more difficult because its finding two contacts sometimes that are the same person and asks me to distinguish instead of jsut calling.  CAn anybody help?
    Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to make sure to give as much info on the specifics as possible so hopefully i can get this resolved.  Is this a bug or something i did wrong? can i fix it or do i just have to wait for an update?
    P.S.
    Iv since upgraded to iphone 4S and still happening. Also this does NOT happen on my iPad. Only my iPhone.

    Talked to AppleCare for about an hour. After trying many steps: deleting contacts, re downloading from cloud, disabling Siri and re enabling, even Reset all Settings. Nothing worked. Ended up having to restore the phone via Erase All Content and Settings. That of course fixed it.
    Not sure what the issue was. I did have a Mobile Me account before the iCloud migration. For some reason, my contacts would appear in Contacts on the phone and in the cloud only once, but when using Siri it would list 2 or 3 duplicate contacts. Also after we deleted all the contacts on the phone, did an iPhone reset (Home and On/off buttons), my contacts list would show empty. Then I would click on Groups and poof all of a sudden duplicate or triplicate contacts would be in the contacts list.
    Very strange.

  • How do i get my contacts Back, i can see them when composing a new text message but not in my contact list?

    A couple of days ago all the contacts on my phone were deleted, for some unknown reason (i think it was something to do with iCloud). When i look in my contact list, on my phone, i can not see any of my contacts. But when i go to compose a new text message (or email) i can see the name of the contacts and the number.
    If i then click on one of them it just comes up as a number in the: to box.
    If i try to sync my phone with my computer, which has the contacts on, and click replace contacts on phone (with icloud turned off) it just deletes all the contacts that are left (the ones i added since i lost them) and does not replace them.
    I have tried syncing through Icloud, the computer, Yahoo, Hotmail, and gmail with no luck.
    So my qustion is can i get my contacts back?
    Thanks,

    In iTunes, uncheck Sync contacts.
    Sync the iPhone.
    Then recheck Sync contacts and sync the iPhone.

  • How do I alphabetically sort people in a contact list?

    I created a contact list of about 50 people. Their information was added at different times. It appears that every-time I added a contact it went to the end of the list. Is there a way to take the completed list and arrange it alphabetically by last name?

    Address Book -> Preferences -> General, use the Sort By pop-up.

  • HT1296 my calendar is showing all the birthdays listed against people in my contacts list a day earlier than they should. Why?

    Since receiving a new iPhone 4S to replace a previous phone, my calendar is now showing all birthdays as being a day before the date they are listedon within my contacts list. Any ideas why and how to rectify?

    I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

  • Receiving E-mail From People On My Contact List Erroneously

    I have started receiving e-mail from some of the people on my Verizon contact list.  For example, if Jack Jones is someone I correspond with, I will receive a message that looks like it is from him, but when I look at the sender details, it is from some e-mail account that we never heard of.  In the message body, is a URL to click on.  The subject is sometimes blank or sometimes it says:  "For MyName".  This has happened with several different of my contacts about once or twice a week with different URL's to click on.  What can I do to stop this?  Thanks for any assistance.

    You or they probably have either
    caught a computer viurs
    had their email account stolen
    had someone steal the email contatcts and are being email spoofed
    Both you and your contacts should consider doing
    change your email account password immediately
    scan your computer with good antivirus software
    You may want to change your email name

  • Syncing two different 3g iphones contact list

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone is still awake. I want to use outlook to save two different contact list. For example, I have a his and her iphone with two different contact list. How do I save two different contact list using outlook?

    This is basically my question as well. My email contacts and my phone contacts are not all necessarily the same so I was thinking of creating a separate contact list in Outlook for my iphone. Is there a way to upload only 1 contact list from Outlook to my iphone? Will it affect my Outlook contacts when syncing?
