Q: iPhone 6 Text Problem.

I cannot reply to texts to ONE contact  though i can call this same contact ok. I have never been able to text this contact  though i receive them fine. I can text all of my other contacts fine. Neither myself or the contact has blocked numbers and i have tried all of the troubleshooting advice above (re-bootong phone, switching iMessage on and off etc) Any ideas please anyone? Thank you.

    What is unique about this contact? Does this contact require SMS text messages? Does your carrier permit you to send SMS text messages? These messages could be being blocked due to a carrier parameter. Check with your carrier on this.

    I have this same question.  I have narrowed down the problem (possibly) to Droid Turbo recipient phone.  Is this true for you as well???  I can receive her messages and call back and forth, but she never sees messages from  me.  Her hubby also uses same phone, but he was able to receive a text from me.  Interestingly, he uses the regular texting feature, but she uses an app for texting.  Perhaps this is the issue???   I have also discovered there is another contact in my list who has a Droid Turbo (using apps for texting) that cannot receive from me.. HOWEVER, I have yet another Droid friend who also uses an app for texting who CAN receive texts from me.  She uses a different app than her daughter who cannot receive my texts.
