Can't send iMessage to one person

I have an iPhone X and my sister has an iPhone 6.

Both up to date with iOS

Both have iMessage activated.

We both receive and send iMessages from and to friends but not to each other.

We both rebooted our devices numerous times, turned iMessage off and on again. Signed out and signed back in from our apple IDs a couple of times.

We both have access to Wifi and network data.

We both still have green arrows when sending messages.

iMessage does not work only with each other...

Please help 😟

Hello lucaskywalker,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you're having some trouble sending iMessages to one specific user, and I have some information that may help.

Have a look at the article below for some helpful troubleshooting steps. It focuses on not being able to send at all, but the steps may help resolve a single user issue as well.
