Why can i not text/imessage one person?

I have an iPhone as done my friend. We both have Verzion.
For the passed 2+ weeks we can't text or iMessage one another. We've both reset our network settings, reset our phone settings, checked our blocked lists, signed out of our iClouds, etc. to NO avail. She can get my messages, however they'll only send as SMS messages, BUT if she responds, I never get the SMS.
Apaprently this is a common problem but I can't seem to find a way to fix it. Does anyone have any input?

Have you looked into any of the hundreds of other posts on this issue, to find a solution?

HT1414 Why can I not text or make and revive calls

Why can I not text or make and revive calls on my iPhone 4

Usually cuz its locked to a network other then the SIM's. Did you swap SIMs today? Or it's not seated properly. Take it out and reinsert carefully.

Can't send texts to one person but can receive from them

I am having problems sending text messages to a single number, which is also on Verizon, although I can receive texts from that number just fine. When I try to send to them, or respond to the ones I get from them, it shows up as sent on my phone like everything is fine. The other person never gets the message though.
I have checked and they are not blocked. I can make and receive calls to this person and I can receive texts from them. It's just I can not send texts to them although my phone says they are sent.
So far it's only this one phone number that is affected. I can text my other contacts just fine.
I have tried taking out the battery. I tried calling *228 and my phone just says "Call not sent". I'm on a Galaxy Nexus.
Any other ideas that I can try myself or am I down to having to go stop in a store and see what they can do about it?

I tried adding a 1 before the area code but I have yet to get a response but I'm at work right now so I will call and check if the person got it when I go out for lunch. I will update on whether or not that worked.
I doubt the person blocked me for multiple reasons. 1 - I live with them, we get along great and we normally text each other daily while at work. 2 - I have had someone on my account block a friend of mine before as a joke and when that person was blocked and tried to text me it told them it couldn't send. It didn't just say sent and never make it. And as I said, this person is also on Verizon so I assume it would work the same if they blocked someone.

Can't get texts from one person

Does anyone know of anything I could try to help me receive texts from someone that I previously received texts from just fine?
About 2 weeks ago a friend of mine and I noticed that neither of our texts were being received by the other. He uses an iPhone and I use a Galaxy S3. I'm on Verizon and he's on AT&T.
We're both able to send/receive from other people who use differing brands of devices (ie I can send/receive from other iPhone users and he can send/receive from other Android users) as well as both of us being able to send and receive from users from other carriers (ie I can send/receive from other AT&T users and he can send/receive from other Verizon users).
Both of us have done a factory reset on our phones, made sure we've got the most up to date software etc.
He's tried disabling iMessage which didn't help.
The only things that I can find online about this are for people who used to have iPhones and now have Androids and their iMessage account is still tied to their number which causes issues. This is not the issue for me as I've always been an Android user and up until about 2 weeks ago we could send/receive to and from each other just fine.
Let me know if anyone has any thoughts!
Thanks!

Thanks for the response! Neither of us have made any changes or updates to our phone (other than any automatic phone updates, but I don't think any of those would have happened for either of us in the last couple of weeks). We both tried sending a text to the phone number rather than a saved contact but none of the messages made it through.
We both use the default messaging application on our phones.
Thanks for any assistance!

Why can I not text anyone without an apple device?

I just purchased a new iPhone 4s. For some reason, none of my texts are being delivered. I can recieve messages though. It might make a difference to know that my daughter has a work android phone and is not getting any of my messages until she turns on her iPad and then they all come streaming in. Help!!!

Sounds like you are sending iMessages only. does your Phone have an active cellular connection? Does it have a plan that includes SMS messages?
If all of that is true, go to Settings->Messages->Send as SMS and turn it on.
Also for your daughter, if you are sending a message to her email associated with her iPad then that wil only send as an iMessage and will only be received by the iPad. If you use her Cell Phone number it should send as an SMS.

Why can I not receive iMessages on my iPod touch 4g after updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7?

Yes, you read correctly. I updated my iPhone to iOS 7, and poof!!! Now iMessages are not being sent to my iPod touch. What happened?!

Without knowing what happens when you try to send one.

You you receive them?

Can't send texts to ONE person

I was texting my friend perfectly fine all day through iMessage and then suddenly I couldn't send them anything. iMessage wasn't working and it wouldn't send as a text either. But it's just to them, I can text or use iMessage with any other contact in my phone.
I tried restarting it and it didn't work.
I tried rebooting it and it didn't work.
I even deleted the thread and the number and it didn't work.
We both have the iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3. Any help or suggestions to fix this as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Make sure your friend has also rebooted his phone.

Can't send text to one person

Me and my husband are unable to send and rec' text to and from each other.

I'm having the same issue!
It all started 2 weeks ago when I tried to force an i-cloud backup which failed. I re-booted my phone and when it came back on I had lost all my message histories (I hardly ever delete messages)
I have been able to send and receive text messages and calls from all i-phone and android phones except for 1 android phone - my mums! She can send texts to me, and I can receive and make calls to her. She received texts from other phones.
I have tried:-
     Airplane mode on and off.
     Switching phone off and back on
     Re-booting.
     Deleting number from phone and contacts and re-installing
     Contacted service providers who were less than helpful but say no issue at their end
I have had an update installed since the issue occurred, and have also been able to back up i-cloud successfully since. My previously disappearing text histories never re-appeared.
Any other suggestions? It's driving me crazy!

HT4623 why can i not text my friends

All of a sudden I am unable to text my friends back after they have sent me a text, what is going on?

No idea. What did your wireless provider say when you asked thm since texting is their service to support?

Whenever I text this one person, his messages come up green. He has an iPhone and so do I, I can't figure out why our messages are green

We've tried reactivating iMessage, deleting threads, and contacts but nothing seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else?

Restart both devices (press the HOME and power button until the Apple logo appears then releasae). If both devices have iMessage turned on and to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, the the green messages are indicative of iMessage not being available on one or both devices.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Hi , I can not text to one specific person with my iphone 5 . I can receive text from that person and calls . Also I can text to everyone else . Please help

Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi! I'm also having the same problem. I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider). We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November. Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her, I don't receive any of the texts that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it. They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone. Do I have an incorrect setting? I'm not sure what could have happened. PLEASE help!
