Inability to text someone off of laptop

Hello! I have been messaging someone off my laptop who has an iphone and then recently the ability to send her messages just stopped. I tried removing her as a contact and re-adding her and it just will not go to her phone number. How can. trouble shoot this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

Old problem, new problem, what changed?


On going issue or temporary just now?


Does the phone call itself work?


Can you txt from an iOS iDevice ie your iPhone with no issue?


Has the number been discontinued?


So many question....
