One contact can not recive my texts.

One contact can not recive my texts, he has a Samsung Galaxy s3 with AT&T and I have an Iphone 5s with Verizon and IOS8.  Other people with the iphone 5s, verizon and IOS8 can text him and he will reccive theirs.  Why can he not recive mine?  We both can still call each other and he can text me and I reccive them.  The texts I send him never come back and say not delivered so I am assuming they are getting lost somewhere.  Is this an AT&T problem or Verizon, also how can I fix this?  I need a quick fix!!

Kangel,
You said that your iPhone is saying "Not Delivered" which means that for some reason your iPhone is trying to text him via the iMessage system as that is the only time that you'll get a "Not Delivered" "Delivered" or "Read" message sent back underneath the text that you recently sent.  I also noticed that you said that your friend is using GS3.  So if I'm thinking correctly, your iPhone think that your friend is using an iPhone as well.  If you go into your settings and turn off iMessage then every text will be sent as SMS over the cell tower...then he should start receiving them.  This is only a temporary fix unless you don't care to use the iMessage service anyway.  Hope this sheds some light...

        Thank you for reaching out to us, labrylao4. Regarding the issues with messaging, is this affecting only SMS, iMessages, or both? When you or her try to send each other messages, do you receive any error messages while it is sending? If it is for iMessages, have you tried to send while connected to WiFi?

  • Classic - text ringtones work for one contact but not for others

    Just got the new Blackberry classic.  I'm having trouble with the ringtones for the text messages.  The custom ringtone works for one contact but not for the others.  I have taken the same custom ringtone that works for contact A and used it for contact B but it only works for A.  B sounds the default ringtone from the default profile instead of the custom ringtone.
    I have deleted all contacts and done a re-sync thinking something was corrupt.  That didn't work. 
    None of the contacts have a link. 
    I have changed the notification profile and it still doesn't work. 
    I have deleted a contact and recreated it manually.  It still doesn't work. 
    I finally deleted my dad's  contact and from the phone app created a new contact.  I set a custom ringtone for him and it worked.  I of course had to recreate all his other information manually.  Please tell me there is some other way to fix this than recreating manually all 147 contacts in my contact list.
    I read that if the phone number has the hypen or space it won't work, but my dad's contact info that I created from the phone app has the hypen and it rings with the custom ringtone.  Also contact A has no hypen in the phone number and it rings the custom ringtone.  So that didn't seem to matter. 
    I have spent hours on Google and see that lots of people have had this problem (but not everyone) but have not yet found a solution. 
    Surely someone has found a fix for this issue.

    Make sure that the contact has "Mobile" as the field for her number and not "iPhone".
    Note that the iPad cannot send SMS messages.

  • I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

    I have one contact that I've been texting for months,  about 5 hours ago, I started receiving an error that the text was not sent.  However, if I text a picture and then text with the picture the message goes through.  Why am I getting this error?

    You can also try out few things >
    1) check if the ipod constantly appears in mycomputer section .
    - if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
    2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer
    you can try
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
    The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
    connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

  • My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything

    My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything,  I have a child that is very ill and I have to have access to a phone at all times can someone help me?  It happened one other time when I plugged it in to my to listen to music.  I know it is working it said something on voice control.  I tried the press the circle button and the top button but the screen only turned white?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

        hibob99,
    Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I know there are to many passwords out there now days to keep track of them all. Are you looking to reset the Verizon.net e-mail address? If so, you would need to reach out to Verizon Communication by calling 800-837-4966. Please keep us posted.

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

  • SuperFrench is found but this font can not display any text

    "SuperFrench" font comes from Autodesk. this fonts's real file name is supef__.ttf

    Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.
