Texting a 5 digit number

I get no response when trying to text a code word to a 5 digit number. I even turned on “Send as an SMS” and still no response. Any suggestions?

Hi JoieW111,


Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems you are not able to send a text message to a specific number.

Are you able to text other numbers?

Is this 5 digit number able to text you?

Did you receive a message that the text was not sent?


  1. "Restart your device:
  1. Check your network connection. To send a message as iMessage or MMS, you need a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. To send an SMS message, you need cellular network connection. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can send SMS messages over Wi-Fi.
  2. Check with your carrier to see if the type of message you’re trying to send, like MMS or SMS, is supported."


If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.


Cheers.
