Why are my texts not getting sent to one specific Android user?

My texts all of a sudden stopped sending to one person that has an android. But they did receive a gif that I sent but I am receiving all of their texts. How do I fix this?

Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Sending a GIF might have gone through because some carriers handle MMS (multimedia messages) differently than SMS (text messages). A temporary network issue might have affected SMS but not MMS.
  • Since the other person can send you texts, the issue likely lies with sending messages to them, not receiving them.


Needs clarity on this.

  1. Are you referring to SMS or any other form of texts?
  2. Are you able to send texts to other Android phones?


There are a few reasons why your texts might not be sending to this one Android contact while you can still receive theirs. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

  • Network Issues: A temporary glitch with your carrier or theirs could be causing the problem. Try restarting both your phones and see if that resolves it.
  • Incorrect Number: Double-check that you have the recipient's number saved correctly in your phone's contacts. A typo or missing digit could prevent messages from going through.


If none of these steps work, there could be a problem with the recipient's phone settings or their carrier's network. In that case, they might need to contact their carrier for further assistance.
