One contact (so far) cannot send or receive text messages from my iPhone. Can someone help?

How can I fix the problem that one contact -- so far -- cannot send me or receive text messages from me on my iphone 4s (ios 6.1.3)?

Thank you ChrisJ4203. I checked to be sure SMS was turned on.  I found advice to restart phone and to delete history.  I restarted the phone and deleted all previous messages from that contact. He then received my last three messages, I got his reply, and we seem up and running. Thanks again for your suggestions.

    Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

    Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
    Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
    If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

  • TS2755 How come I cannot send or receive text messages from one of my contacts yet I can call the person from teh same number?

    I have tried to send a text message to one of my contacts but it is never received and I am told they have sent me texts that I have never received.  We both have the correct tel numbers in the contact info. The message shows as sent in green.  Any ideas why or how to fix this.  I already have the most up to date iOS in the phone (iPhone 5).

    Contact your carrier. SMS messaging is completely reliant on the carrier.

  • Cannot send or receive text messages from others

    I used to be able to get texts from anyone, for the past 4 months I am unable to send/receive texts from anyone without an i-phone.  I also do not want to upgrade my operating system.

    SMS/MMS are exchanged via a carrier's cellular network only. Contact your carrier.

    MY sister is having same issue with her phone no new updates overnight I could use this feature yesterday have tried everything I can think of please help

    (Insert fact!) Nothing that KiltedTim provided you was incorrect. While your device may have needed and responded to a reset (which there is no such definition in iPhone troubleshooting as a hard reset), what he provided is still true. MMS is a carrier feature, and is controlled by their settings.

  • After transferring my contacts on to my iPhone, I cannot send or receive text messages to some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot reply!

    After transferring my contacts to my iPhone, I can no longer send or receive text messages from some of them. Even if they text me, I cannot send a reply!

    Same problem persists also here. Have crosschecked with friend, all same settings, have deleted the contacted, created again, still that number does not receive my SMS (no question on iMessage). Can not even reply her message. This problem persists with few numbers, nothing common, different phones, different countries, different operators. All others, with different operators, in different coutries receive my messages. Even other people can send their SMS to her.

  • Iphone 4 cannot send or receive text message

    I just got my iphone 4 yeaterday. Everything works fine except for the text messages. I can make and receive call, but cannot send or receive text messages. Does anyone have this problam?
    After I hit "send", it sounds message sent successfully, but my friend did not get it. Also I asked my friend to send one to me, nothing!

    it's a software issue... a lot of customers are having all kinds of issues with their new iPhone 4. But, don't be dismayed, there may be a way to fix it.
    some ideas is trying going to settings -> general -> rest -> then tap on "Rest Network Settings". This will then rest all the of network settings, and hopefully fix transmitting and recieving issues that you may have with your iPhone.

  • Cannot send or receive text messages on Pantech Breakout

    I cannot send or receive text messages on my pantech breakout. Anyone know the solution

    There could be many reasons - and you've given us no clues.  Let me ask you some questions that may help us find a solution:
    Is this a new phone, or a new account?
    Did you recently port your number to Verizon from another carrier?
    Did you recently change your plan?
    Have you been able to send and receive text messages, with this phone or another Verizon phone?
    A few background details will help.

    Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
    That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only.

    Why am I no longer able to send or receive text messages from my Droid RAZR MAXX HD? 

        @slotjan49
    I want to ensure you're able to stay connected using your Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD!  When did this problem begin?  In what zip code are you experiencing this?  Do you get an error message when attempting to send a text?  Are you using a downloaded text messaging application or are you using the preinstalled text messaging application?
    Please try removing and reinserting the SIM Card http://vz.to/1jxFQVZ and retesting.  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!
