Hello!


The issue is on your end. Here’s how to make sure the messages will be sent to her phone number from now on:


Go into Contacts, find her contact, and tap on it. Then tap Messages, and tap on her phone number. This will open a new message conversation which will once again send the messages to her phone number.


Have a great day!
