One person does not receive my texts

Beginning a week ago, one of my friends cannot receive any of my texts. We can both call each other, it works fine. He can send me a text and I do receive it. If I attempt sending him a text it looks like it went through but he never receives it. I have tried 1) Deleting his contact and texting by typing in the number, 2) Adding a 1 in front of his number to be a full 10 digits, 3) removing the 1 and just texting his 9 digits, 4) deleting all previous thread conversations with him 5) Re-adding him as a contact, 6) reviewed my account, no blocking is on, 7) reviewed his online account with Tmobile, no blocking is on 8) Called Verizon tech support, they said it must be his phone that can't receive texts but he can get other peoples text 9) Deleted and uninstalled the 3rd party messaging service "TextNow" app that had installed 10) Factory re-set my phone. NOTHING works. This is not acceptable. I'm not going to continue using a phone that won't allow me to text one person. He can get other people's texts and I've seen his online account, there are no blocks on me. Please advise what I need to fix this. I already talked to VZ Tech Support, they had ZERO suggestions except to say "it must be his phone because if you couldn't send texts then you wouldn't be able to send them to anyone". By the way, I've now reinstalled the TextNow app (a third party messaging service) and they allow me to text his phone. If this continues with Verizon without a resolution, I can't remain a customer.

    Hello and happy Sunday suzannehall,
We know how important it is to be able to contact our friends, family, and loved ones, especially while on the go. With text messaging constantly growing in popularity, reliability needs to be at the forefront of its delivery. I'm eager to get this taken care of for you. May I ask do both you and your friend have Verizon Wireless? What make and model are the phones being used? As an entry level troubleshooting step, I would suggest deleted the text conversation, reboot both phones, and retest. Let me know if more help is needed.

  • Only one agent does not receive call on queue

    Hi team,
    I have a CCx Express 7.x working properly.
    There are some queue configured, but in a queue I ´m with the follow problem:
    - Everybody can answer the incoming calls, but only one agent is not receiving the incoming calls via trigger;
    - The agent stay in ready state, but the calling hear "Every our agents are busy";
    The same agent can forward e answer the calls, if the call does not use the CCX trigger.
    Can you help me please?
    thanks

    Hi Jean,
    If the Agent belongs to CSQ\Resource group and be in Ready state, don't get calls from the Queue (Longest Available) is little surprise.
    If this is the only Agent in Ready state, other Agents in this CSQ are forced to go to not_ready state, will he still not get calls?
    What is the number of sessions associated with the Application and with the Route point? what is maximum count of callers to this application and Agents belonging to this CSQ ?
    Thanks,
    Anand

  • I can receive texts from one contact but when I reply she does not receive the text. It does not say delivered when the text is sent but does not say that it has not been sent.

    One of my long standing contacts cannot receive texts from me. I can see them from her. We both have iPhones . We have been texting for years.
    My outgoing message is sent as iMessage and stays blue. It does not say delivered but it does not say that it has been unable to send.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It might not be anything on your end.
    Here are some overlapping possibilities, all on the receiver's end:
    1) Spam filtering, restricting incoming messages from certain domains know to pass lots of spam (Hotmail, Yahoo)
    2) Corporate or personal firewall restricting incoming messages to certain 'trusted' certificates and/or domains and rejecting all others.
    3) Anti-virus or similar filtering detecting a suspicious 'signature' in emails and/or attachments sent from your domain or your computer.
    4) individual email account rules for filtering, accepting, or rejecting messages, based upon content filtering applied to your message
         sender's actual name
         sender's published name within the email
         some keyword(s) or phrase(s) contained in the subject line of your message
         all messages with attachments
         messages with attachments larger than a certain size
         messages with attachments of a certain type
    5) The receiving email account might be marked 'exclusive', meaning that it will only receive email from people/organizations already in the address book or otherwise marked as 'safe'.
    6) You might have a name or organization that unfortunately contains part of some blocked word, for example 'Shelly' contains 'h*ll'. 'Matsushita' contains 's*it', 'TheBitChurner' contains 'b*tch' and so on.
    7) Be absolutely certain that you have not transposed any letters. For example, I have an acquaintance whose name is Shelia (pronounced 'sh-LEE-ah', not 'SHEE-la'). For the longest time, I misspelled her name 'Shiela' in her email address, so she was not receiving my emails.
    Never discount the possibility that they might be ignoring you on purpose!

  • Person does not receive my e-mails

    My brother uses hotmail.com. I used to send him messages and he was able to receive them. Lately, he has not been able to receive messages. Does anybody know why this happens? Other people who use gmail,
    comcast.net, etc. are able to receive my messages.

    I found out that my brother had me on a list of blocked addresses. When he found out that I was on that list, he unblocked my e-mail address. Everything is fine now.

  • HT4993 My apple 5 sprint unable to pronounce SMS, seeking help.I am only one person does not know what to do!

    Dear AppleCare,
    My iphone 5 was bought with full prize in the USA from Sprint,and I was told that it is a global phone.
    My classmate leave here,when he back in China using local carrier,something seems to be wrong with sending text message.
    i can't believe that!
    Can you help my classmate?
    Can you help me to solve this problem?
    I can't believe that!know my iphone is locked,i'm so sad tot!!!
    please unlock my iphone?please do that!!!!!~~~T-T.....
    My iPhone details:
    SN:F17JM129F8GH
    MEID:990002278076714

    Both the Verizon and Sprint iPhones, when the GSM side of the phones is unlocked, have been having issues with texting (SMS). If you search through here you will find a fairly large thread stating the problems with the Verizon model in Russia. I do not know if anyone ever found a solution. If voice and data are working on his iPhone then the GSM side is unlocked but he will probably have to work with his carrier to find a solution.

    i do alse receive from gmail....
    please help... what is happening!!!!

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
    Every problem has a solution!

  • One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

    OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
    My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
    Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
    Thanks.
    - Jennings

    Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
    However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
    Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .

  • I send a text and it comes back saying invalid or person does not subscribe. But yet I can read the text te same person sends me? Is it a problem on my end or theirs?

    I send a text to someone and it comes back almost instantly and says the message is invalid or the person does not subscribe. But yet they can send me a text and I can see it. Is the problem on my end or theirs?

    No. It's not an iMessage. Just a regular text message. I can receive their texts and make a call to them. ??

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • When sending email to pc users, recipient does not receive text in email?

    Hi
    when sending email using MAIL to pc users from 27" IMAC, recipient receives the email and attachments, but does not receive my note/text in email?
    any ideas?

    If they are using Outlook, that is likely the problem.
    There are two settings in the Edit>Attachments, Always send windows-friendly and attachments at end of message.
    Also, set the message as Plain Text (Format menu).
    Outlook has always been crappy with anything but Exchange email. They haven't fixed it in about ten years, so I wouldn't expect any changes in the future.

  • Why is it that when I text pictures, the recipient does not receive them.  I've noticed that I have a camera roll which is where I choose pics from, but nothing in Photo Stream.  Can someone please let me know what the issue might be?  Thank you!

    Some phones can only send and recieve SMS messages. If the recipients phone doesn't support MMS they won't be able to recieve a text with a photo.
    To get your photos in Photo Stream, you'll need to setup iCloud. Check out this Apple article for more info -> iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

  • TS2755 My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.

    My ipad does not receive messages, the bubble in the green background. My iphone does.
    I can use my ipad to send messages, but it only moniltors the ones i send with the ipad. All the other messages I get on my iphone are missing.
    Any idea why?

    "The bubble in the green background" indicates the message was an SMS (cellular text) message.  If the background were blue, it would mean the message was an iMessage.
    The difference is important.  Your iPad is not a cellular telephone.  It cannot send or receive cellular text or MMS messages.  It is, however, an Apple device which means it can communicate using Apple's iMessage to/from other Apple devices (typically over WiFi).

  • Windows live does not receive emails

    Windows Live works fine on my family computer.
    Windows Live does not receive emails from my btinternet account on my laptop any more (it sends ok I think)
    This happened in March. After talking to someone in India the other day who suggested that my laptop did not have enough RAM (not so), I eventually managed to uninstall WLive, reinstalled, then used the automatic set up on BT and called the account a new name. IT WORKED...all my emails turned up on Windows Live. Then it STOPPED WORKING again.
    I honestly cannot fathom this. Any ideas????
    (I have just tried using the automatic set up again, using the same account name, but it just says that the account already exists).
    Errors are in essence:
    0x800CCC90
    ERR inactivity timeout
    WLive error 0x800420CD
    WLive mail error 0x800CCC0F
    I got the automatic tester to test email account, but no fault found.
    All suggestions gratefully received. I had no luck last time I tried on this Forum, but giving it another go.

    Hi.
    I personally never let the "system" set up email automatically, it doesn't always get the servers or ports correct.
    However, what you could try is to login to webmail in case there is a stuck/corrupt email in the Inbox. You can move them to a temporary online folder and retry Windows Mail. If that works, you can try moving one email at a time into the webmail Inbox.
    Do you keep all the emails on the server by the way ?

  • Phone does not receive incoming calls

    Please help.  Verizon can't seem to.  My phone does not receive 90% of its incoming calls or messages.  I have been told to delete all of my messages and call logs- no use.  I have tried removing the battery and resetting the phone.  I did make sure the phone was not in "do not disturb" mood- it is not.  People who call me say that it doesn't ring, just goes straight to voice mail even though the phone is on.  Very frustrating problem as my 6 year old phone before seemed to give me better service.  I feel like a child who is only allowed to make outgoing calls!  Please help.  All suggestions are welcome.  Thank you.

    Check the Call Forwarding section. There are two options to select. One says Forward All Calls and the other says Forward Unanswered Calls. Make sure Forward All Calls is not selected. That would cause all calls to go to the number specified which may be your voicemail. To get there from the home screen click the Phone icon > push the option button (left of the trackball) > click options > click Call Forwarding.
