My iPhone won't send texts too one person

Did you ever find a solution to this problem. I have the same exact problem.

Try with one peroson using imessage and the other not

I have this exact problem. Seeking resolution. Bossodg have tried it every which way, it's still this ONE person.

I just thought of the block caller option r u on that for them?

I figured this out from another site. Apple's so-called genius designers, developers of iOS 7, decided to make regular old SMS texts unavailable to iMessage (iPhone to iPhone) users if the receiving iPhone is unavailable at that moment to receive an iMessage, UNLESS you do the following ridiculous steps. You have to go to your Settings and TURN ON the option to allow SMS text messages. And THEN you have to choose "send as text message" when the iMessage fails. ARE YOU KIDDING me Apple? Are you monitoring this thread. That s*hit is crazy!

Apple, seriously: should people have to TURN ON a setting like this? Shouldn't the setting be ON as a default unless people go in and adjust it so they want to exclusively use iMessage? Do you seriously think that all iPhone users want to get message failures and then jump through a bunch of hoops to get their messages to go through. Is anyone in charge over there? And did it occur to you to make communicate about this to your loyal users, one of which I used to be.

There are so many riduculous new steps to go through to accomplish simple tasks in iOS 7 that were not a part of iOS 6. You've overcomplicated it. I have been defending iOS 7 a lot lately to doubters and haters: I'm done. I'm seriously considering finally making a change to Android, not because I love Android, but because I'm so frustrated with all the silly, little non-sensical moves like this you are making under the guise of "new and improved."

I had the same problem. My iMessage some how got turned off on my phone. Just go under your settings and check yours. Maybe it's something that simple if you haven't figured it out yet 🙂

you are absolotely right! i had same problem today just for sending a simple text!!! 😢and after using android for years, now i'm so so disapointed with soooooo much crap getting from the unreasonably expensive and non practical apple services!!!😠

I've had this happen twice, both times I deleted and then readded the contact and the messages started working again. Hope this helps.

I just had the same problem and I tried to turn off iMessage and then on and it worked again!

THANK YOU !! This has frustrated me for MANY months with just ONE person in my Contacts that everyone else can text w/no problem!! Such a simple fix for a stupid Apple problem. Think this will be the last iPhone I ever get.....

Yea, my iPad is having this problem right now. I updated to IOS 9.2 due to 9.1 not letting me use my data and constantly kicking my device off of the Wifi, ending with that using my data up before I could even use it, and now I could text everyone else but this one person. IMessage kept saying that their contact isn't registered with them, when it actually was. They haven't changed their number in the middle of the **** night, and after resetting my whole device I can't even get signed into my account. Apple fix this **** problem, it's an easy fix for you guys but you won't take care of the problem. If this keeps going on, this will be the last product I buy from you guys. I didn't have as many problems with Android products than I have with Apple.

Bye.

Friends,

I had similar problem. I could receive sms but not send. I found a way.

Please add pause (,) in front of the number you cant send and store it as a separate number and send sms thru this number. Might work. It worked for me.

The only issue is you will get messages on one number but reply on the one you created.

Hope this helps.

hi I have had a similar problem with my iphone 5. moved from nz to Australia, can call two close family members but cant text them. I don't have a problem with calling/texting other people/family so have been mystified as to why it was happening with these two people. I spoke with Vodafone Australia who were of no use at all. I took my phone into Vodafone shop - again no use at all (Vodafone was my service provider in nz and now in Australia). I searched the web and found a couple of comments about deleting messages from the people who I couldn't text. that is exactly what I did. I deleted text messages from my two close family members - all messages and phone calling history from them both. wahlah - I text them both and first time they are now receiving my txts. I didn't have to update, reset my phone to default settings or any of the other unpredictable advice I have seen 🙂 it was simple so hoping this helps others moving forward 🙂

MY texts are not being received
