I Had the same exact problem. I deleted the contact and deleted ALL text messages. My friend was part of an old group message which was causing the problem. I was the only person in a group message with 5 people that couldn't send an sms. once I deleted all the messages that involved that particular friend the problem disappeared.


hope that helps.
