Suddenly I cannot text one specific contact

Suddenly I cannot text one specific contact. They can text me and we can both call each other. My service provider shows no record of texts being sent, even though they appear to be sent from my iphone 4s. Can anyone help?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

IPhone cannot text one specific number - help appreciated?

Hi everyone,
So the problem is that I cannot text one specific number (that I text on a daily basis); or rather the text is not getting through to that number... We can call each other and they can text me; but whenever I text them the SMS seems to go through fine on my phone but they never receive it. Texts to other numbers seem to be getting through fine and it happened pretty suddenly.
Any suggestions? I have already performed a Network Reset in the iPhone settings. Could this just be an issue with T-mobile? If so who should I contact about it to alert them - their 'customer care' team?
_Problem Details_
My info:
Phone - iPhone 3G with the latest software update that is commercially available through iTunes (I think that this is OS 3.1.3)
Network - O2
Location - Manchester, UK
Their info:
Phone - Nokia 2330
Network - T-mobile
Location - Manchester, UK
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I can send the text, whether in reply or as a normal message; and it appears to go through. No problems or issues seem to exist according to my phone. Because of this I am very much in agreement with you on your point that it is likely to be their phone/network...
Not too sure about other T-mobile users as I'm not certain which of my contacts are with T-mobile (most people seem to use O2, Orange or Vodafone!)
I have reset my phone and this made no difference to my SMS attempts
I thought it might be a number block too, but phone calls get through fine and surely that would be prevented if my number was accidentally blocked?
Thanks for your help I'll get my friend to contact T-mobile tonight...

How can I fix my iphone 5s texting problem? It won't text or imessage to one specific contact.

I have a new iPhone 5s, and it refuses to send texts to ONE specific contact. I've tried going through the contact, groups, etc. It just glitches back to the home screen (basically telling me to f*** off and stop texting). However, i can send pics, but as soon as i send it re glitches back to the home screen, appalled I tried to read MY text convos... (Yes, I have done the obvious fixes such as restarting the phone, backing up/ restoring, and deleting the contact and remaking him...)
Thanks!!

Maybe the issue is with that contact's phone and not your phone.

Cannot text one contact

I cannot text one contact, my father, who is on the same account as me. I have Moto X, contact has iPhone 5. Have deleted contact and turned off/on phone. Texts from either end do not go through.

Does your father receive texts from other people? Could he possibly have you blocked (inadvertently or otherwise?). Call Verizon customer service and have them check the provisioning on his line to ensure texting is fully enabled.
Is he trying to send you an iMessage text? Have him turn off iMessages and send a regular text.

Suddenly I cannot access one website

All of a sudden I cannot access one website at www.countrywalkers.com from any of the three Macs on my network. Two of them are wireless and one is ethernet-cabled
I work for them so it would be helpful if I could do so. I e-mailed them and they have confirmed that other Mac users can access their website without any problem and that they have certainly not blocked me from accessing their website.
The connection to this website fails using Safari, Firefox and Netscape and Firefox and IE via VPC on my g5 iMac, Safari and Firefox on a G4 Powerbook and a G4 Tower.
I connect to the internet via a 3Com router which works perfectly except for this glitch.
I have changed nothing in my set-up and have been able to access this website uninterruptedly for about 10 years, until about two weeks ago.
I have used ping, lookup and traceroute in Network Utility to try and work out what is wrong. In the ping test, all the packets go missing. The lookup gives information which means nothing to me. The traceroute test shows asterisks at stages 2, 5 and 13 onwards, meaning I suppose that this is where the connection to the remote URL is faiiling.
What does this all mean and what can I do about it?
There seem to be a lot of posts on this issue, almost all of them unresolved, and hope that I have posted in the right place.
I do not have anything like PeerGuardian.
Thanks for any help.

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.

IMessages won't deliver to one specific contact

Hi there,
I'm having problems with iMessage on my iPhone 4S.
I'm trying to send iMessages to one specific contact - the messages are sending (the progress bar at the top of the messages app completes), but the 'Delivered' notification never comes through. It's most strange, as I was iMessaging this person yesterday without any problems - it's only been a problem since this morning.
I can send/receive iMessages to other contacts without any problems as well, which makes this case even stranger.
I've tried a few suggestions to fix the problem, but so far none of them have worked.
I've turned the phone off and on again multiple times, I've reset my network settings, I've deleted the message thread with this particular contact and started a new one, I've deleted and re-added the contact, and I have turned iMessage off and back on. Nothing has fixed this.
It's not a major problem, but I have to hold down each message and send as a text to this one contact.
I'm not on a contract, don't have phone credit and will run out of free texts soon, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, bar restoring my phone to factory settings - don't really want to go through the effort of putting 13GB of music, photos etc back onto it.
Thanks for your time.

if ur able to message everyone else just fine, AND u have already deleted that person as a contact and restarted the thread with them, then its not ur phone at all. its theirs. and they need to troubleshoot y they are not receiving imessages.

My iMessage won't let me text one specific person but will let message anyone else and also it keeps freezing and exiting out without letting me reply

My iMessage won't let me text one specific person but will let message anyone else and also it keeps freezing and exiting out without letting me reply to the other person can someone please help me it's really aggravating and frustrating please and thank you my fellow apple users friends

Can the person Message you? If yes can you reply?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and sign ut and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Suddenly, I cannot text my friends Barb or Jeanne from my iPhone4s. They can text me. We can talk.

Suddenly, I cannot text my friends Barb or Jeanne from my iPhone4s. They can text me. We can talk.
When I try to text them, I receive a message from 923-0 "Message sent using invalid number of digits. Please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code. Msg 2114".
Sprint cannot fix. Says it's an Apple problem. Tried reentering the number, reformatting the number, updating, etc.
Used to be able to text Barb. Cannot think what changed.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Hi! Just got my new ihpone 4 yesterday, but i'm having issues in texting a specific contact. sending sms or iMessages works perfectly fine with all my contacts apart from 1,which is even using my same network, though i can call it and receive sms from it.

My Quad is as quiet with 10.4.5 as it was on arrival Jan 31, with 10.4.2
Altivec Fractal Carbon gives the CPU too much chance to cool down. I've got other ways to drive the CPU to sustained 100% load. Yes, the fans speed up, but it's still pretty quiet. I've run it at 100% for hours.
I like the idea of taking things gradually. If you can wait a few days before making big changes, it can make things much easier. 3-4 weeks is very conservative, but great if you have that much patience.
My Quad has been up full-time since I got it. Works perfectly.

I cannot text one number in my phone that I have in the past...

Since last week I cannot text one number in my phone, yet if I move my SIM into another phone it sends... any ideas? have tried wiping the SIM, re-starting the phone...

Nevermind! I found out I can get a docking station that you can hook up from there to charge it! YEAH!

Individual Ring Tones for Texts from Specific Contacts

One of the features I liked best about my BlackBerry was the ability to assign a individual ring tone to specific contacts for when they texted me. Does the DROID Incredible 2 by HTC have the same ability? It is a feature that I really miss.
Thank you.

No it doesn't have that option with the stock SMS application. A third party app from the market will such as Handscent or Go SMS for example.

Cannot access one specific server

Hi!
I'm using an eMac G4 to manage my website, very simple (Wordpress + images). I had no problems until last week, when my hosting company turned out some FTPs to prevent massive usage of other users. I tried to upload some files to my FTP and tried to send some emails with an associated account to that site but I couldn't. When my hosting company solved the problem I could access the FTP and download my email, but I could not upload anything nor send emails with attachments.
I thought it was my Internet connection, but it wasn't as I could upload files with a PC connected to the same DSL. I can use it with no problems with any other computer but my eMac. Besides, it's the only FTP I'm having trouble too.
I flushed my DNS and no changes. I introduced manually my DNS and no changes. I renewed my IP as I have dynamic IP and no changes. I checked if I got a firewall and no firewall. My hosting company doesn't know what to tell me and I don't know what to do.
Any clue on what might be happening?

Hi again!
The problem remains. I upgraded to Tiger and I cannot upload files to ONLY ONE specific server. As the hosting company told me my IP address is not blocked from the server (and I have dynamic IP, so it doesn't matter), I pressume it is some kind of problem of my Network configuration. However, I don't know what to do.
Could it be my OSX be blocking uploading information to one specific server? Is there any "black list" or something at any plist?
It's really, really frustrating. Any ideas?

Cannot text one number

I can not text one number and it is driving me crazy!! I recieved a message that says "you can only send messages to fixed dialing numbers". I do not know what that means. I can send texts to Verizon, and T-Mobile phones. I can send and recieve calls from the number but I can not text.
This is recent that this has happened. I was able to send and recieve texts from this one numbers, but it seems as of OCtober, I can not.
Is anyone else having this issue?? It is truely driving me crazy!!

Try checking Menu / Settings / Call Settings / FDN and make sure fix dialing option isnt enabled, if this is on this can restrict in and out going items..
Another thing to check with Verizon and make sure no restrictions is setup on your accounts or you can check and make sure you havent added that number to the block list on the MyVerizon area of your account.

FaceTime won't connect to one specific contact.

I'm having trouble with FaceTime.
I was able to FaceTime my girlfriend 3 nights ago and it worked perfectly fine. After about half an hour however it cut off and ever since then I haven't been able to connect to her. She tells me that she is able to FaceTime all of her other contacts but as soon as she goes to FaceTime me it doesn't work.
The call comes through but when either of us click answer, it stops at connecting and after so long says "so and so is not currently available to FaceTime".
Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how it could be solved?

Hi Tibbles96,
If you are havin issues with FaceTime on your iPhone, either generally or with a specific contact, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following articles helpful:
