Receiving texts

A friend and I have exchanged texts daily for some time. I have an iphone. I'm not sure about my friend. However for no reason we can determine I no longer receive her texts and have not been able to for some months? I think she still receives my texts at least some of the time but I am not sure.

If your friend does not have an iPhone, you will see that message bubbles on the phone will be green (SMS). If they are iMessages, then they will be blue. If they are SMS, then your cellular carrier will need to help troubleshoot. If they are iMessage, then come back and we can try again.
