Not letting me text one guy?

My iphone 5 is not letting me send a message to just one person. They do not have an iPhone. I've tried resetting the network and that didn't work. I tried deleting the contact and re adding, restarting iphone. I'm getting really frustrated, please help?

Settings/messages turn on send as sms

  • 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

    What did your carrier say when you contacted them about the problem?

  • I am not able to text one specific person.. seems i can sporadically recieve their text but they are not recieving mine.  I have looked at several forms and tried several things.. some forms suggesting a problem with the carrier.  Has anyone on Koodoo ?

    I am not able to text one specific person on my iphone 4.  They an sporadically send but she is not recieving my message.  I have read several forums and tried several things.. resetting etc... to no avail.. someone mentioned this may be the network.  can anyone help? the phone also say it is ready to install update to ios 7.0.6 which provides a fix for ssl connection verification.  then it indicates cannot be installd bcause it requires at least 3.7 GB of storage.  So i have deleted some things and pretty sure I have enough GB  but still reading the same message.  OMGosh .. so frustrated.. especially wtih the texting.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.

  • When I now use the cmd-tab shortcut to go to a different open application it madly scrolls through all the open applications and does not let me select one. Any ideas as to what might be wrong. It doesn't appear to be a sticking key?

    Problem with the cmd-tab keyboard shortcut now cured with the latest software update, so the original problem must have been a software glitch.

  • HT2736 I thought I purchased a gift card for my sister, however, I have not gotten a confirmation email. Can you tell me if it took.  They would not let me pruchase one on my ipad.  I guess too old!

    I thought I had sent my sister a gift card before the holidays.  I did not get confirmation and nothing arrived.
    So I tried to send a gift card to her from my ipad.  Would not let me.  Too old I guess.
    So now I am, one more time, trying to send her a gift and I thought I got the job done, however, I still have not gotten a confirmation that it was sent.
    Can you check to see if it is sent and or what the problem is.
    Thanks,
    Diane

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    She's checked the spam folder on the email account that you sent it to as well as the inbox ?
    And have you tried resending it (assuming that it worked the first time) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541 ?

  • My iphone 4s does not let me text pics to anyone in my contact list except other iphones... why is this?

    when i try to send a picture i have taken on my iphone 4s to anyone who does not have a iphone the picture does not go through but the people i am sending to can recieve picture messages. but the ones i send the same picture to that do have an iphone the picture goes through fine, why cant i send pictures to everyone?

    I have a solution! I got my iphone 5c only two days ago and just experienced this issue of not being able to send photos and videos to a user who did not have an iPhone/smartphone. Rather than resetting settings, I went to the Settings, turned on cellular data (which I had turned off previously since I was at home and connected to wifi) and then the files went through. After sending, I turned cellular data off again.
    Hopefully this works for you!

  • Firefox will not let my access one of my already open windows which has multiple tabs open

    The window will not open when clicked on. I have restarted firefox and restored the window. It was working this morning but suddenly stopped opening a couple of hours ago. The program in the taskbar does not have a description, it only says 'mozilla firefox'. I have also restarted my computer a few times to see if that was the problem but it wasnt. Other/ new windows open, its just this one window which i cannot access. When i click to close it the closing tabs warning pops up but the window does not.
    Thank you.

    There are other applications that can set certain windows to be on top. I used to have one when I was using Windows.

  • In "Options" I do not have a default search engine and does not let me install one, how do I resolve it?

    I don't have any serch engine, and if I want to install it from the web page, i click the "+ Add to Firefox" icon and it doesn't do anything. Also, if I write a web adrees at the adress bar, it doesn't work.
    I've already tried to uninstall and install it again, and it doesn't fix it.

    You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
    You can delete the Firefox program folder to do a clean reinstall.
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 36.0.4 release in all languages and for all operating systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can check for problems caused by extensions.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • Firefox will not let me open one of my yahoo e-mail accounts. can open it on internet explorer. the account is linked with another e-mail account.

    I can open the account, but can't select any items to open. problem first started Friday, when the e-mail account would not stay open. Now will stay open but will not open e-mails or allow selection of tabs. contacted yahoo but they said it was a firefox issue due to the fact I can open e-mails using internet explorer.
    says Yahoo!Mail, null currently.

    Thank you! I did all three of those things and it works now. I was using a bookmark for the att.net Mail page like you said. I think that's probably what the problem was. It used to work fine. Now I know.

    Some of my contacts work when sending text messages but others I can't send or receive yet it tells me the message was delivered.

    Doublechecking before proceeding ... is that the itunes.msi or itunes64.msi files that can't be found? Or is it some other file?
