Contacts

Recently bought iPhone 11, whenever I text my significant other, it pops up as a “maybe” contact as if my number isn’t saved in their iPhone. Not sure how to fix this problem

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Iphone Problem with Setting Default Text Number For a contact on my iphone, how does one set the default number for texts to be different from the default phone number? Here is my situation: I have a contact who wants to be called on their landline (which is listed as home in the Contacts card). They also have an iPhone, whose number is listed as iPhone in the Contacts card. When I use the Contacts App to send them a message, Contacts will send the message to them using SMS rather than as an iMessage. I can't figure out how to change this. Note: I am able to iMessage this contact, but to do so I either have to enter their iphone number directly in iMessage or (when using Contacts) manually change the default text number when I select them. The iPhone should be smarter than this. Is there some crazy parameter that is set wrong for the contact? Thanks in advance!

icloud contact & phone number contact A specific person on my Messages has two contacts. One being their icloud and the other being their phone number. However when i text the phone number, the messages go green even if we are both connected to wifi. I tried deleting the number and re adding it but nothing changes. This may be because the person came back from holiday and switched sim cards? How can i delete their icloud and just message their number like usual?
