iPad Air not recognizing contact number for texting
Just got a new iPad air. Transferred all the data. However, it will not recognize the phone number for one of my contacts. It's the correct number, and it is not blocked. And the number works on my iPhone. So, I can text this contact on my iPhone, but I can't text this person on my iPad. The phone number works on my iPhone, but the iPad won't recognize the phone number as being legitimate.
It's only this phone number. All the others seem OK (so far...). And it's only on the new iPad. I went to the Cloud, deleted the contact and created a new contact using the same phone number. Still won't work.
Any suggestions?
iPad Air, iPadOS 26
